Both look good!
Thanks to Wayland Games for “sposoring” OTT.
They are both very well designed starter sets at a super reasonable cost as well for what you get! The fact that your force is already 2/3 there for a standard game size means that it’s super easy to build on it… Especially since the plastics can be build in many different ways and that also gives you flexibility in what you want to expand into. The low barrier to entry is refreshing these days now that day to day live is getting absurdly expensive.
Couldn’t agree more, plus your videos are a great addon to help on board people
Gentlefolk… start your engines.
Both starters look good and complete for a great game. Very interesting feel and aesthetic as well
These look absolutely magnificent! Sturginium Skies kinda looks more my jam but both sets have some killer stuff! If they ever get around to Firestorm Armada like this, I will be one happy nugget.
Seems like a very GW way to do starter sets (Not in a bad way). Making each new one different factions. Also, massive blimps > anything else.
I make quite a bit of content for DW and also play quite a lot of AoS/40k and I can tell you that Warcradle does one thing massively different to GW 2-player starter sets. All the models in the starter sets are actually still useful and good in game because they update all the factions simultaneously. That’s massively different than a 2 player AoS set where over half of those models are absolutely worthless from a game mechanic point of view. So far, in all our DW games, those core sets of models are still able to keep pace with… Read more »
I’m so hyped by this game, really want to get started in this dystopian world !
I am for the ice maiden all the way. So the hunters are for me. Let my enemies have the unprouncable between them. Shame this is the start of the weekend, so good by to a very enjoyable week, and I hope the boys will invite Warcradle back soon.
Two very good starter sets
Look pretty easy to assemble and paint.
I’m interested in both the Enlightened and the Commonwealth so I got super excited when I saw the hunt box!
I’ve got the Hunt for the Prometheus already. I may even get to play it this year. Sturginium Skies is going to get ordered, though
Both are amazing. I do like the flyers.
Definitely more on the side of the aerial box, since I imagine we’ll be moving inland in the future and that makes part of the new set good for all three elements.
its got to be the enlightened for me
Two nice sized sets to start with 🙂
I have both and am just starting to put together and paint
They both offer some really nice fleets.
Great looking ship’s do the airships get affected by the wind much in the game. Could be good it they have a magnet set to make turret changing way easier for gamers.
The first thing that I noticed when the lid came off was enough dice for both players. Minor detail for some…but really annoying when you have to buy some extra set of dice so it does not get messy. So nice touch on those really impressive starter sets. I like them a lot!
Since I always asked about novels on WWX vids I like to say that I am really thrilled that the first one under Warcradle is coming out soon. Thanks a lot, guys – really exited about that!
And to follow up on that I would like to know if there are plans for novels on Dystopian Wars 🙂
Any idea when we will be able to get a copy of Sturginium skies?
I note that it’s not in stock many places.
it shouldn’t be in stock anywhere yet, I believe it is released soon though. I’ll try to find a date next week.
I always enjoy playing some Dystopian Wars! The new miniatures look fantastic
I was interested in intersection of mad science and naval combat with Hunt, but Sturginium takes it to a new level. Can’t wait to pick up both sets eventually!
I’m excited about the Sturginium Skies set but I missed the window to get the first shipment in the U.S. Now everyone who had carried it is sold out and I’m bugging my FLGS to see if they can find a distributor who will send them one.
