General Flagbearers (facts & speculation)

Every other GenCon news bit has its own thread, so the General Flagbearers needed one too. I will try to update this post with any new actual news so all you need to do is check back here.

This info is copied from the Gencon news thread:

These are a Toys R' Us exclusive- not the generals themselves, but their flagbearers:
gorillanator for vydar
elf for ullar
samurai for einar
orc for utgar
knight for jandar

Not sure if they are all packaged together or not, but each figure comes with a 20-sider in the general's colors (reddish for utgar, greenish for ullar, etc.)

It looks like they also come with an additional set of ATT/DEF dice. At least that it what it looks like in the bottom left of the box.

I think that's just a design on the packaging, UPC.

Well it's got one figure and one d20 for sure. It [i]may[/b] have additional dice in the back portion of the box.

How much is this going to go for and how many will be available? If they are cheap and there's big bins of them life will be sweet. If they cost $10 each and are impossible to find it's going to suck. Personally I wish they had just released all five in one big box.

No, looking at it, I suspect that what you're seeing are tokens of some kind, and that there will be special 'command' or 'morale' rules that will let a banner-bearer figure provide a bonus to other figures, such as movement, attack/defense dice, etc.

I think those things in the back of the box are some sort of marker that you pop out and use in some way.
