Unboxingish video
It looks great

Yeah except the part about the one month delay. Hopefully the BoLS banner date takes that into account and its only a few weeks off what we thought.
Man those spears looked crooked.
The good: Sculpts are amazing for FFG past standards. Even the annoying bendy spears will be easily fixable with water. The Rune Golem is massive. Love the quality
The bad: anyone, anywhere that does unboxing videos, take 5 minutes to read up on the components so that you don't sound so clueless introducing it. Happens way too much.
I like that the Lore book has a write up on the elves and Uthuk just like they were real factions

Having been buying FFG minis basically from the release of IA onward, their sculpt and overall mini quality has improved steadily since then.
I have zero doubt these will be their best miniatures yet.
They did look good...and with the exception of the spears, looked pretty solid...and I really like how they're multi-part.

An unfortunate weakness of the base material. Lightsabers suffer the same fate. Still, easy to fix.
I hate the bending bases. It happen the same with IA and big miniatures.
I think my favorite part, which they didn't feature, was that the trays seemed to slide together and apart really well with the final product. I think that has always looked like the critical element that has to work for this game to function.

Completely agree. That part had me worried after seeing the Gencon prototypes that kept falling apart. Glad to see they are more rigid when together.
Holy c**p! The fortress/wood terrain piece is huuuuuge!
There's a lot of fun stuff in that video and it was good to see that what you can catch from those quick flashes of the rulebook. I'm quite surprised by the terrain, particularly since you just place the unit into a few of them. Looks like most of them ones like smaller units, so hurray for skirmishers!
This is a good starting point for the Hobby weekend to come. With three days of coverage starting with assembly, painting, basing then learning the game and getting in some play. It will be a fun weekend to watch.
Ooof. Ups and downs here. Love the game love the content. Sad about the date push. As to the models yea I agree that bendable spears aren't too bad, can straighten those out, but if the bases are crooked that's gonna be iffy. Looked liek that may have been the case just a tick on the rune golem. I'm still in on this game, but there may be a bit of work to me done on some of the pieces.

Bend bases is typical on Imperial Assault, so expect te same here. This happen mainly on big models.
SOne of my friends has a big IA collection he has been slowly painting, and I asked if I could borrow the ones he just got from the last wave to try fixing bends with newer FFG minis. I think it took less than 15 minutes to fix over 25 minis, even little changes like adjusting body pose slightly, all with one bowl of hot water and one of ice water. I bet I can get through the entire Runewars box in about 30-45 minutes, still be able to use one bowl of each. It was just as easy as D&D minis and some other flex plastic figs I've worked with before. I mostly wanted to try newer ones to see if they were harder to fix, and see how long it would take to straighten a whole army out. Oh, and I think they felt more solid when I was done, improving the strength of the pose.
TLDR: one bowl hot water, one bowl ice water, 30-45 mins, and you will have all the minis fixed before the end of one episode of GoT
Through the video they say the game will be one month delayed . Is this confirmed ? Where did Bow get that Intel from ?

I'd guess directly from FFG/Asmodee, given how they are preparing a launch event in collaboration with the company and, as evidenced in the video, have received at least one copy of the game in advance of it hitting distributors.
BoW will be doing a launch weekend on March 30-April 2 with FFG and Army Painter. I think, my opinion with nothing to back me up, is that the EU launch is in May. BoW is in North Irelandand. Ay see the EU launch as a one month wait.

The hardest information we have is such:
-BoW is doing their launch event March 30
-BoLS is advertising US launch date as April 13th
-BoW claims March 30 is "about a month" prior to the EU release date
This would all seem to indicate a US launch of April 13th, followed by an EU launch in the first two weeks of May.
Speaking of EU launch dates - UK company Ozgameshop (Ravenshorn Way, Renishaw, Sheffield, S21 3WY, United Kingdom) has a pre-order on their site listing April 28th as the release date:

I would advise you against considering anything you read on BoLS to be even vaguely reliable or accurate.
Only practical use that website has in regards to gaming news is as a reverse-barometer. That is, if BoLS publishes a piece of news/rumor, if you cannot find any other site they copied it from, it is most certainly baloney.
