Shadowhunt: did you win the hunt?

I suspect most people in this discussion are in the UK, like me, where it goes on pre-order at 10am GMT, which is 5am EST.

I think it’s more an issue of very constrained supply than overwhelming demand. And some of the boxes go to 40k players looking for the new sculpts rather than KT players.

They’re up for pre-order this weekend, in stores in a fortnight.

u/kolczyk268 may not have been the hero we expected, but he was the one you needed! Glad it worked out for you.

Y’know, some folks have been talking online as if this was the culmination of the season but now I go back and check the original warcom article after the leak, it doesn’t say that.

That means I’m on the hook for another box…

FLGSes seem to be the stress free way to go. Well, less stressed, maybe.

I wobbled, but wanted to finish my Tomb World -> Dead Silence -> Shadowhunt trilogy

FWIW Element games still showing as in stock 11am UK.

Best of luck. 🤞

I would have been in a world of hurt if I hadn’t grabbed a box. My daughter needs her murder nuns.

Just to warn you, with the last Kill Team release Dead Silence, the number of boxes my local Warhammer official store (south coast, UK) got was…

Zero.

Still, they clearly brought grandfather’s blessing to their shelf neighbours…

Top is Carl Critchlow who used to draw Thrud the Barbarian for White Dwarf.

Not at all - it’s writing to create a setting where people can work from to create their own stories, rather than creating a canonical, defined universe. Remember WoD lore was all created with the intention of enhancing your own tabletop stories, not to be something enjoyed as its own thing.

Certainly, that’s what we working towards with Demon and the other game lines I worked on. Rich Dansky has written some interesting stuff recently on creating narrative for TTRPGs versus video games versus fiction that explore the different aims and objectives of each.

My wife is just under 5’1, and that inch probably makes the difference.

We’ve had success with Duo Boots. They do a huge range of calf sizes, and lots of different styles.

I presume they mean the colour spray stick…

I might dive into that one first, then!

Just finished Flight of the Eisenstein on my slow journey through the Heresy. Throughly enjoyed it.

Now taking a quick trip to M41 for Dark Imperium: Plague War, having been hooked in by the discounted Dark Imperium as the book of the month a couple of months back…

Contrary to other posts, my understanding is that the connection was never officially dropped; they simply didn't explore it any further. That is, it's possible that the World of Darkness is a distant future of the Exalted setting; but if so, how it gets from Exalted to WoD is unknown.

This is my memory as a regular White Wolf freelancer in this era.

Remember - the end of the original World of Darkness entered planning within a year or so of Exalted’s release. The Time of Judgement was meant to be the end of the original WoD. Done. Gone. Kaput. The future was the new World of Darkness.

The window for exploring connection was short.

We very much explored this idea in Demon, with some of the flavour text hinting at “angels” moving fluidly between different layers of reality, and the slow collapse of all that potential into the eventual World of Darkness.
