Vorun'thul and Zachareth are now showing as 'shipping now'. Skirmishers and Viper Archers are on the boat. And everything else announced to date has hit the printers.

I'm sure there's an interesting story about the heroes skipping the boat and teleporting to the States. They officially hit stores on the 20th.

Well.

Uh......

Cool. I suspected that they were already on the boat. LordV and BaronZ being so close is a complete surprise to me

Squeeeee!

Also, ****, I need to finish my darnati by the 20th.....and my 30 other reanimates...and my death knights....and my wraiths.

I also very much expected that the website had not been updated in a long while except for the items moving to "Shipping now." They were down to about 3 items in the "on the boat" category across all of their products, and I think the Star Wars X-wing units went directly from "At the Printers" to "Shipping Now" a few days ago, even when we knew all along that they had a clear September launch date they were aiming at.

I'll be excited to play against the new heroes, though my main question is how long those Viper Legion and Ventala Skirmishers will stay on the boat. I would guess not very long.

X wing went from under development to shipping now

Ventala and vipers are due 3rd quarter, so I'd think before end of september. Could even be a weird one like in legion when veers released a week before snowtroopers (wouldn't that be exciting!).

I’ve been distracted. I still have all my wraiths, Kethra, 4 rippers, and a thresher to paint

They are heroes... they need to do big things to retain their hero status. Teleporting to the states is right in Lord V's wheel-house.

Yeah, I have to finish highlighting my Uthuk, paint 5 more trays of Wraiths, and who knows how many Reanimates. Lord Vorun'thul might just have to wait a month or two.

Actually, the more pressing issue is that I have an army I'm currently working with, and I don't see myself changing it up anytime soon. Maybe I can trade some Wraiths in to take the place of something else, but I simply don't have room for another hero. When I get bored of this army, or if I play it enough to realize it's not as good as I originally thought, then I'll pick up the vampiric hero and see what he can do for Waiqar.

And for full disclosure, there has been discussion about imbeded Ardus vs. imbeded Vorun'thul, and I want to prove Ardus isn't useless. It may be a fool's errand, but I'm running shambling with it.

I think Ardus is much better embedded right now. I do love his army building ability too. I just can't get him to live very long.

Oh, sweet! I was afraid they wouldn't hit until November.

I have the opposite effect. He either deters a charge into my Archers, runs around like a useless point fortress or he gets engaged with one unit and one unit only the entire game and refuses to die.

I have yet to get him to do anything beyond that.

Oh and of course, get sniped by Kari but we only have one Daqan player in my area so that has happened exactly once so far.

For clarity, I run Fortuna's and Ancient Technique and keep him near my 3 x 2 Combat Ingen Archers.

As for Lord V, I am looking forward to the army options he brings, I am very interested in the unexposed cards and what potential they bring.

It is fun to see the “recent lists” in Tabletop Admiral and realize they have now swung to 90% Daqan/Waiqar

New toys = new meta?

(Is Runewars is big enough to have a meta?)

Be interesting to see the new builds that come out and are proven to be effective

So far Vorun'thul is a dangerous predator whose dice live up to his "cursed" moniker, and Zachareth is a very interesting brawler/turret/army support. Definitely good stuff.
