Crossbows and Death Knights are already out in french so i think they will be released at the same time than elf packs.

From FFG France.

As an owner of a FLGS here in the US, that statement is incorrect. Death Knights and Crossbowmen are NOT releasing the same time as the rest of the Latari boxes (October 5th)

Don't be aggressive Oda. :huh: I just really don't understand anything about the release for this game. It's the first time i see the translation being out before the "original product". It doesn't make any sense (still i'm happy to get them but... it's sad for you and your customers)

Nice picture @Cyiel . Melee on 4 with hit and panic is pretty sweet, and a white march modifier like the Crossbowmen.

Looks like the frontline upgrade has brutal 1 and "melee attack: if the defender has a panic token, you may reroll 1 die." While the support upgrade has steadfast [fear] and gives out panic tokens.

That's why i said that it's interesting to see many "double bonus" for Uthuks. Rippers has panic+surge and Spined Threshers get the panic+hit.

Nothing aggressive about it. People tend to see posts like that with other countries which can have completely different release schedules and then whip themselves up into a frenzy based on inaccurate information.

I think FFG should be more accurate about their release dates. :P

I know, we've been hounding them for ages. They finally admitted to releases always being on a Thursday last year. Personally, I think they never publish release dates because then they can never miss them. Not a terrible idea really.

I mean, this is FFG. They're known to regularly miss product releases by entire quarters , so they're really overestimating themselves if they think they can give release dates any earlier than 2-3 weeks in advance like they do now :D

You're not wrong.

I'm pretty sure that card was already spoiled by FFG. I put the card up on the runewars wiki.

Looks like the contents are 2x Frontline Spined Thresher, 2x Support Spined Thresher, Serrated Spines, Wind Rune, and two unique upgrades for the Spined Threshers.

2x front and 2x support, is it normally 2x? That seems awesome!

Carrion Lancers and Rune Golems both came with two copies each of their support cards. That's a great concept considering you get two figures in each box.

Though it's totally unlikely, I wish FFG would give two command dials per two trays, that way you could run the core boxes of infantry in two groups if you wanted. Really only matters to Latari, but it would be nice.

That is great, but for the fact that I'm not likely to have enough Berserkers to need two heavy upgrades at once. (Though it would be awesome if I did!)

By the time I have enough archers to run two 3x2s I'll have 5 archer dials, which is too many.

Meh. I’m gonna be shorted on my berserkers. To have enough Command dials to run my 8 2x1 blood rage conduits, I’ll need to have bought the (inevitable) 2 cores and 6 berserker packs for 20 trays total.

Once Kethra comes out, it's all about those Flesh Rippers, get them in fast and have Kethra annihilate the enemy.

Today is the day I go pick up all the Latari.

Me too!

Those Leonx expansions are calling my name!

Anyone see a total list of upgrades for the new Latari stuff? There's some pics on FB, but you can't make out everything. ?

I'll get something tonight if no one beats me to it.

I have all the new boxes. My FLGS wasn't supposed to sell them yet but they got them early and I picked them up last night :)

If ya'll can give me some suggestions for image hosting I'll make a post with pics of all the upgrade cards.

Archers actually have a cool equip upgrade for Latari only that gives you Protected (Natural Energy) but then you have to discard it.

My favorite is the Blackthorne Assassin. Not sure if it's worth the points but it's just so **** cool. Interesting that they didn't get an Artifact Bearer equivalent like the other two factions...

What's the third Champion upgrade do? I've seen the Avenger of Latariana and the Blackwood Assassin.

Third Champion is really cool too, could be super awesome for flanking or disruption. They actually just posted it too.

Nice. That's pretty cool. Wish it wasn't unique haha

Dreamweaver Sorceress is really cool too. Somewhat short range, but ranged stun token could be super useful. Too bad it exhausts :(

Dreamweaver Sorceress:

(Special Action) Exhaust this card to choose an enemy at range 1-3. That enemy receives 1 stun token

This isn't something to brag about. Stores releasing product before street date can have serious implications. I know of stores in my area that lost their FFG accounts, both in terms of product and OP kits, because they broke street date.
