Mine are here!!!!!

Wow the decks are tiny. Not a bad thing, I had different expectations from the pics. They're about as big as half a Magic (the gathering) deck, the ones that are premade and are sold along with packs and boxes.

At the tops where you open it shows a little truth head saying a funny phrase.

I was going to get the fallen kingodms deck, but won't now that I have seen the Warforged squad. (lol)

(still planning on getting the goblins expansion though.)

[GeneralGrievous13]

I just got my new Faction Decks!

They look awesome, my Dad and I can't wait to try them out!

Also, I greatly enjoyed the "Words of Truth" in the top where you open the box.

Thanks Truth!

[ewabbie]

Yea, mine arrived. Can't wait to play.

Yep, they were waiting on me

We didn't get home until late (almost 11:00p - late for an old fart like me), so only really got to look at them today. I have my son convinced that Ret-Talus is named after me, so Colby, if he asks you at Gencon play along (at least for a while).

Preview #4
Bragg



Few Tundra Orcs are as feared by their own kind as Bragg. It is not that he is the strongest of his people, but rather the least Orcy, and therefore he seems frightfully strange. Where most Orcs revel in their own strength, Bragg is content to rely upon his mastery of frost magic. But Bragg is welcome in any war party. He is immeasurably valuable to any Tundra Orc Summoner he serves, since his powers nicely compliment their own.

Ahh, Bragg. The cold snapper.

[champrjk]

At this rate the orcs are going to continue being my favorite.

I'm sure I saw this elsewhere, but I can't seem to find it now. If we pre-ordered the premium board in the same order as the new faction decks, will the decks wait to ship with the board?

Yep.

Played the Fallen Kingdom for the first time last night. Incredible job truth!

I lost, but that was because I was so enamored in pulling off a huge move that I ignored what my son was trying to do and allowed Blagog to get next to my 4 of 5 hits Summoner. It did not end well.

Got both starter sets and both of the new faction decks (+4 Mercinary cards) for $50 total at Origins after playing Truth at his booth.

A new article by our excellent fiction writer Mr. Bistro has gone live. This one gives some insight into the walls.
