There are big changes for Warcry! Explore the latest strange goings on and new release format in this review of Scales of Talaxis and Hunter & Hunted boxes! Say hello (or just scream and run) to the Gorger Mawpacks or sign up to the freedom of the frontline with the Wildercorps Hunters. All the while, the Scales of Talaxis takes you one step closer to fame and fortunate and the treasure hoards held within the crashed Seraphon voidship, the fabled Talaxis or the Ravening Ruin. Traverse the swamps and interact with the technology of the Old Ones, which may grant you unimaginable power. Or, y’know, frazzle you to a crisp. Also there’s mawpits. Lots of talk about mawpits. And did I mention the dogs!?

I've been looking forward to this video! Everytime you posted community posts I'd check to see if i missed the upload 😂 Personally I got the hunter and hunted, loving everything inside the box and am excited to learn Warcry combining it with a Subdered fate box. Would enjoy hearing more about your decisions with what build options you went for and why but otherwise enjoying all your coverage and great content!

@HobbyJackal 5 ай бұрын

Haha, it's been an interesting experience. Almost all the filming was done at the end of Oct/beginning of Nov, so it's just been a bit of an editing marathon whilst battling life demands. ...I also got distracted and released a couple of other vids in between. Glad it's finally out there. :) As for builds I've opted for: Gorgers: One of each Wildercorps: Warden w Grizzled Trailhound Trailblazer w twin crossbows Leatherhide w spear x2 Scout w hatchets Scout w crossbow Arbalester/doggos built in only way possible :) I believe technically scouts with hatchets are better, but I wanted variety and as the arms of one of my leatherhides aren't glued on (sub assembly) painting, I am teetering on going back and switching them for a crossbow for variety... I'm not a competitive player, though, more narrative so on warband builds I'd say there's probably rarely much merit on following what I do ;)

Great video, informative and funny! I liked the look of both boxes but the decision to make them separate was a bit of price gouging by GW so I abstained whereas if they'd packed it in one, or discounted the two appropriately I would have been all over this like white on rice

@HobbyJackal 5 ай бұрын

Thanks so much! Yeah, the price for trickier this time. I was a little on the fence, although I know general consensus was fairly negative. I felt, if someone wanted one part of it, it sort of offered a cheaper option... whilst being much pricier if you wanted it all. Being honest, because of the pricing, I only duped myself into picking up both because I convinced myself it was "for the channel". ;). Life changes have now rendered me unlikely to pick up a Warcry box for a while. ...unless I'm super irresponsible and the potential new setting for AoS in the summer is too tempting... :)

As someone who hasn’t got any of the ghur set, do you think scales of talaxis is good enough as a board on its own or would I benefit from getting some more trees? Great video as always, well done

@HobbyJackal 5 ай бұрын

Thank you!! : ) Having played about with it a bit more than when the video was recorded, I can personally say - Scales of Talaxis is lots of fun! The pylon, elder gnarloak and idol of motzlpota all have platforms equivalent to the height of regular gnarloaks released as part of Heart of Ghur season, and the variety of rules for scenery (plus the swampy bits) allow for lots of varied games. That said, if you like the trees and can get an extra 1-2 for cheap (and maybe consider the original scatter terrain sprue as this will give another two bridges of different length) then they'd fit in nicely, but definitely not necessary. :)

@stuartbarrett7585 5 ай бұрын

Great vid, im looking at getting into warcry and im undecieded on what to get, availabilty is a bit poor at the min so my choices are nightmare quest + core book or scales of talaxis + hunter and hunted + core book for a little hit more any advice would be welcome thanks

@HobbyJackal 5 ай бұрын

Helloo! Good question. Nightmare quest is brilliant, but if you're just picking that up and the core book you're seriously lacking on versatility in your board. The terrain's cool, but you're only really getting three pieces you'll interact with much (two trees and a ziggurut/realmshaper, the latter of which you can only stand on the very top of). Scales of Talaxis gives a really nice board to play over, and the rules for the swampy bits means these may well be avoided, adding more variety. Not to mention all the scenery rules (choose to use the ones you like!). Of the two options I'd go with these two, but it's gonna depend a bit on how much you want to spend. ...as for the Core Book, this is only worth picking up straight away if you want to give the narrative campaign rules a go, because Games Workshop have been lovely and lovely the Warcry gameplay rules for free :). I've done a comparison on what's in the Core Book vs the free PDF rules here if you want any more info: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ptBigMJ6ydaYhJc.html ...and the free rules are here: www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/lWKyFJUKEGebDukF.pdf If any of this is unclear or raises further questions please do shout :). Welcome to Warcry!!

@HobbyJackal Fantastic, thank you. I'll go with scales of talaxis and hunter and hunted then. At the moment, i dont mind using any warband, but they do look cool with the mawpit as for the rule ill pick the book up at some point im one of those strange ones who likes physical hard copies of things lol, thank you for time responding and keep up the great work on the vids they are really good and informative

@@stuartbarrett7585 Marv'lous! You'll not be lacking for gameplay there, and... whilst I'm letting folk know you don't technically *need* the core book to play, same - I always value a physical copy to flick through. One of my favourite things about the hobby is it takes me away from SCREENS. Happy gaming! :)

@joeri-ithaigamliel6109 5 ай бұрын

Wich is your favorite terrain (combination) set to play with from all the sets? And do you like the tallaxis set better compared to it?

@HobbyJackal 5 ай бұрын

Well that's a great and tricky question! For me, personally, variety is the spice of life in Warcry. If I had to pair one of the mini expansions with Heart of Ghur it would probably be Bloodhunt (ironically the one I didn't review) cos the fortifications add some nice big blocks to those boards and the additional rules are fun. I really like the Scales of Talaxis board, though and in some ways it feels fuller than a regular Heart of Ghur board, especially when the pools are being avoided. However, I've not played on it nearly as much. It's a hard call, but earlier verdict: I really like the Scales set! Being honest, I'm not a super competitive gamer, much more casual and narrative, so that may influence preferences for others. I also forget to interact with a lot of the scenery, cos there's a lot of potential going on Seriously long ramble. Okay, if I had no Warcry set and I had to buy either Heart of Ghur or Scales of Talaxis scenery, I'd go with the latter. :)

@@HobbyJackal thnx for the elaborate reply!! As a newcommer this is really helpfull information. I own HoG (nib), and am eyeing Nightmare quest, because of the piramid. If i would want a combination of 2 boards for a 3/4 player game ,would HoG work with Scales of Talaxis or should i get that Nightmare quest box? Or better yet, is Scales THAT much better than HoG you recommend getting that with some warbands?

@HobbyJackal 5 ай бұрын

@@joeri-ithaigamliel6109 If you already have Heart of Ghur I'd stick with your plan to pick up Nightmare Quest! The pyramid is a really nice central piece, and whilst the playing pieces would work well across Scales of Talaxis, the boards don't match up at all, whereas in NQ you get both sides matching the shade's o brown from Heart of Ghur. :) Only minus point here against NQ is the 2 gnarloaks you get are identical to the Heart of Ghur ones, whereas Sundered Fate and Bloodhunt add in extra sprues which change then into either: bigger tarped versions of fort versions. HOWEVER, as they're organic looking it's not gonna be super noticeable AND although the instructions don't say so, many of the gnarloak arms are actually interchangeable. Just be careful to do a dry fit test run first :). Hope that helps! 🙌

@HobbyJackal Ай бұрын

Hello hello! What I say in the video still stands. Since I've made this they haven't released anything revolutionary/drastically different. We've had a couple more Hunter & Hunted style boxes, and a few variations on the scenery offer (although individual scenery purchases have a chunky price increase, so you're probably wanting to look somewhere like eBay). This aside, excitingly, year three of this edition of Warcry begins around Jul-Aug. I wouldn't be shocked if we see something new previewed or hinted at in the next six weeks. So, if I were buying into Warcry but wasn't yet sure, I might be inclined to hold on and see what happens. Assuming Warcry sticks around in its current kind of format, we'll see some releases carry us through the following 12 months before third edition is released in summer 2025. I'm hopeful for something riffing on internal battles or city fights, BUT, it's seriously anyone's guess, and I suspect it will depend on how well the current boxes have sold. Hope that's some help! 😁🙌
