I like the modularity of this.
Totally looking forward for my massive pledge of DS! It is looking awesome!
Well that answered one of my earlier questions.
I love the dungeon tile bases on the minis.
I am a late pledger, do you know what will be delivered soon? it is everything or just the base game?
I believe they are aiming to do everything all in one go rather than piecemeal across several packages. We’ve seen the sculpts from the expansion packs already so it’s within the realm of possibility that everything will be ready at the same time. Don’t hold me to that though, I could be wrong.
We should at least get the base game and the adventurers companion all in one package (if that’s what you pledged for).
That is great 🙂
This has been a good dungeon delving weekend.
Great job guys!
that valendor guy is big, do we know the release date of the main game yet?
oh and this has been a great weekend on BOW
Part of me is upset we didn’t learn more details from the Adventurers Guide… but the rest of me realises that it is currently Pre-Order and you probably did not want to Spoiler any of it!
I shall run an Ogre Hero… oh yes – I SHALL!
It’s possibly still in production too. Some general details on Mantic’s store page: http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/dungeon-saga/product/dungeon-saga-the-adventurers-companion.html#tab1
“Create a hero – Generate a truly individual Hero or Overlord from scratch, based on any model in your collection. The choice is yours, from name and profession to spells and songs!
Design the Dungeon – Conjure up your very own maps, objectives and backstory. From the cavernous to the claustrophobic, we give you the tools and tips to put together a unique challenge.
Level Up – Watch proudly as your Character evolves from the very first adventure, gaining levels, abilities, and above all great stories to tell! Will you master a discipline, or branch out and learn new skills?
Be Bad – Turn the game on its head by playing as an evil party, heading off to take down a ‘good’ Overlord and his band of so-called Heroes.
Explore – Between adventures, visit one of 13 different downtime locations to rest, replenish and more! Will it be Tavern or the Temple this time?
Play Solo or Full Co-op – These rules allow for a new and engaging single-player experience, in addition to a co-operative mode in which no Overlord player is required!
Tackle Uncharted Dungeons – Venture into the unknown and hold your breath as the map unfolds before you in this exciting variant where no-one knows what lurks around the next corner!”
can’t wait to get my hands on those infenal crypt minis
Was expecting to be able to search for traps and treasure as I moved throughout the dungeon, seems part and parcel of a dungeon crawler to me
I think you might be able to as resin trap counters were an add on in the Kickstarter.
Mantic’s store page lists counters for 10 different trap types, plus blank ones, on the Adventurer’s Companion.
This weekend has been brilliant, and I think that I will find myself watching a number of these videos yet again.
My kids are liking the look of the game, already have the barbarian and the Elf sorted out then. 🙂
looking forward to the adventure book ..nature army stopping undead etc
The amount of possibilities seem endless
Really liking what is coming out for expansions & the adventurer’s companion. I know Mantic brought out a war list for the rat men in Kings of War, so does this mean Mantic will bring out a rat man expansion Dungeon Saga?
Great way to wrap up an excellent weekend BoW. I doff my cap to you sirs.
Well done for keeping me entertained while I where painting
I’ve received some elf models from matic when they where just starting and was not really impressed by them. Seeing these sculpts: They’ve come a long way. There’s some really cool stuff there.
The minis are vastly superior now, I agree!
definatly a long way, and i have a feeling it will get better even faster now
Can’t wait for that KS pledge to arrive !
Great weekend of info hope delivery of the game is not too far away
All quite brilliant. Expansions sound great.
Great weekend guys, thanks.
I Think mantic did great with dungeon saga. Should make Them a great del of money
this all sounds great. really looking forward to the contents of the adventurer’s companion and the possibilities it opens up
Some damn shiny models there I’d love to paint.
You really need to work together in this one.
Excellent vid again.
love the doors
Waiting is the hardest part…
Having the ability to create your own game play is Huge!!! This is were I get to tie it into Kings of War. Well Done !!!
I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it
I’m about to loose control and I think I like it…
Wow !
Wish I’d gotten in on the kickstarter, maybe I’ll win the contest.:)
This will be the game to redefine the dungeon crawler. It will be remembered by modern gamers in the same way we old farts remember Hero Quest. Can’t wait for those expansions… and we haven’t even got the core game yet.
amazing minis.
It will be so awesome to make silly new characters for this game!
Looks like Mantic found another way to create a steady income.
Hope to win some nice prizes
This is only the beginning…
it will be difficult for me not to steal DS off my friend when his pledge arrives 😀 .
All hail and well met!
Thank you for now I need this game, however having just purchased the Frostgrave rule book the other day and setting out my course and pinning my colours to not deviating it is going to be beyond my means to go with this and those other things.
I am all spent up. So no at this point its a win or back to the dungeons for a while before I can go questing. However Victoria has just pointed out we need only tweak the steam punk questing rules we have and we could go a questing off ourselves complete with almost identical scenery to the ones shown created by Lloyd and Warrens bigger sister. (They are fantastic by the way and how lucky were you guise to have a sister like that growing up.
Rocking but the full range of Scibor models beckons like the sirens drawing me to my financial ruin. Thanks and greatest and bet luck to the rest of the BoW crowd.
Take it carefully and good hunting.
CG
I wonder if KS backers are getting everything in one shipment.
That’s the rumour 😉
This is looking like it is building into a heck of a game
All the minis are really looking fantastic.
Really excited about up coming sagas and models! And the models paint up beautifully. Great scoop BoW!
Fantastic work chaps! I can’t wait to get dungeon delving
I really like the idea of being able to introduce minis from other games into the game … well done Mantic.
Wow those were some nice looking models. Cannot wait for the release date on those expansions!
Now if they would only have a video showing what all is in the advanced companion Gide….
Hope it does well for them, looks like a really great game.
So happy I pledged for this! Now to wait for it to come!
Hi guys I love this weekend show it made fill like I was little kid
Dungeon Saga looks like a great deal of fun for all. Brilliant how Warren has shown us how he introduces his young family into this game. Great to see that the game expands to keep you interested.
Can’t wait for another and another volume or tome to play with.
Anyone know if in the base game, the upgrades the adventurers get between missions are fix or if there are choices?
The future seems bright for this game. 🙂
I can’t wait for the Adventurers Companion, I’m totes gonna play as a Twilight Kin character, assassin? battle mage? necromancer?…. Who knows…..
On the idea of marking the inside of the chest lids, as the chests are hollow, how about putting a scroll inside instead? Just wrap a strip of paper around a paper clip or the like and write what the treasure is on it. That way you’re not tied in to what’s inside as you just make a new scroll as needed whereas writing on the lid limits you to that when using that idea. 😉
Where is my kickstartet ? I want to play 🙂
This is the perfect way into this genre of games
cant wait to get into this!!!!
only problem is….. i need to find players by me :'(.
im sure when i win the box set my local gaming group will take to it 😛
Now all I have to do is wait for my KS to tip up. Great weekend guys thanks for all the hard work.
This was really an nice introduction into dungeon saga. Hope to see more in the future at beasts of war of this stuff.
Havent done any dungeon crawling since warhammer quest, think this game is going on the xmas list
That troll is amazing! Love it
Looking forward to The Adventurer’s Companion
Over the last 24 hours I went from “pffffft why play this when I got Descent and Imperial Assault?!” to placing an order and organizing a game (and beer) night with the old Talisman and Warhammer Quest mates!
and people say Mantic can’t make great models …. I love that Dragon
looks like this will go like hot cakes do you know if they will do a wall and floor set in plastic like they do for sci fi?
I want some of those lovely Orcs.
I want it all and I want it NOW! Really enjoyed all the content over the weekend, superb work guys.
this is gonna be good. my wallet is already weeping…
Want want waaaant! Thanks for the preview of this, now I really can’t wait to get my hands on these babies.
I´m so excited for my pledge to arrive 🙂
The extra figures & scenery look amazing.
That dragon and that troll! :O
I dont know if i can wait until my big box from the kickstarter has arrived. really really looking forward to this now.
Will there be more tile sets with the expansions as they come out? Will the tile sets be sold separately so we can create huge dungeons with the base game?
OK im sold ha ha
They look amazing. Really excited about this game now!
Great weekend guys, thanks.
Can’t wait to see what is next.
Nobody else notice the pubic hair on camera?
Can’t wait until this is released. I loved the old dungeon crawlers like Advanced Heroquest and Warhammer Quest. I tried Descent but it didn’t really add up somehow. I really like the way in which you can design your own dungeons and bring in a whole bestiary of different nasties to crush those pesky adventurers! 🙂
I certainly hope we will be able to explore and find loot. Part of the joy of searching dungeons is being rewarded with upgrades or potions that will help you along the way to the next part of the dungeon.
Great weekend of BOW.
thanks heaps 🙂
The models look absolutely gorgeous.
Minis, minis, minis!!!! Expansions! Adventurers Guide sounds too cool! Those Orcs tho….Sold!
Exactly what I wanted to hear. Changes it from a dungeon crawl game to a game system.
Also, the sculpts for dungeon saga are in my opinion some of the best mantic have done so far. Better than a lot of the kings of war stuff.
Going to make a note on this video as great reference guide on how to paint the minis.
I’m glad i pledged for all those expansions, those minis are awesome!
Do we think this is going to be out in September or at least by October? This will go great with that huge box of KOW Orcs I have coming.
Very nice series of videos showing off the game. Nicely done.
And now I want a copy (or 2) for my grandkids. Oh Mantic, how you open my wallet!
This news has made me want this game even more now 🙂 I began gaming with HQ and AHQ and sadly missed WQ. This is exactly the kind of game I have been looking for
I am *SO* glad I got in on the Kickstarter! SO looking forward to playing this!
Hay guys again love the info on what’s coming down the line. Do you think you’ll could ask Ronnie for some more different doors and maybe large portcullises. maybe forges and different stuff like bedrolls and bunks , beds and such. Maybe even crates and coffins and fire pits. thanks again guys. 🙂
Great stuff, looking forward to getting my hands on my copy
Looking very good indeed. I do hope there is scope for creating your own monsters though. I’m not sure what range of creatures inhabit mantica yet, but I’m not at home in a dungeon without a gelatinous cube or two making a nuisance of themselves. Been most impressed by this game and the coverage, splendidly done.
Those bonus Dungeon Saga minis will be perfect for Kings of War and as minions for other games too.
Of course there’s more!
I’ve really enjoyed the Dungeon Saga weekend. I had zero interest in this game before this series, and now I can’t wait to get it and play. Great job guys.
the orclings are funny, i must have them 🙂
but the dragon is great too.
the funitures are also nice sculpt.
cu
caleum
It was a fun weekend with you guys… thanks a lot!
prepare the dungeon my minions, there be adventurers approaching!
The adventurers companion seems likely to be the thing that will make Dungeon Saga stand out from other dungeon delvers, shifting it two steps towards an RPG. I look forward to its release and Warren getting childishly excited all over again.
Well it appears that my hobby spending decisions have been taken care of for a long time to come 🙂
Great opportunities to expand our journey into mantica, on the battlefield or underground.
Magnifique.
Between this, the last shipment of Dreadball Xtreme and KoW winging its way to my house (hopefully) soon…I’m very excited to get some games in! Thanks for the fun videos through the weekend.
I love all the good stuff which we can look forward too and although I was a little put off by the non jigsaw tiles the clips jet see a little rubbish. However as I’ve watched and pondered I now think the greater flexibility you have to create alternate scenarios. So I’m now happy to trade the infinite replay ability against the tile being a little wobbly. Probably sort this with non slip cloth of some type.
Loving the green skins, can’t wait
Some nice looking models . I hope that the different minions play very differently not just shooty, hitty, tanky etc. I’m optimistic though and hope it really catches the markets imagination.
I can not WAIT to play this.
Nice to know that they will support HEAVY this game.
Great looking stuff on the way for Dungeon Saga – I’ve really enjoyed these shows and it give me an itch to buy Dungeon Saga.
Why oh why can’t it be delivered NOOOOW!
This game has ignited my imagination like very few others have.
Love the up close view of minis…. why aren’t we seeing the eddy the ‘ead tortured souls first looks?
Ohhhh how nice are those new mini hummmm
Great job guy’s
This game looks fabulous!
Thank you for this videos, in the beginning I didn´t think to buy this game i have Descent 2º ed but thanks to the videos maybe buy it in the future.
Just waiting on the KS shipment as I’m now quite excited.
I like the way this is going, much more customisable than Descent. I think this would be a great game at the school club that I run.
Looking forward to hopefully seeing BoW covering the expansions in a similar matter to the videos you guys put out over this weekend.
I’m looking forward to getting my hands on some of those minis…especially the Orcs. It’s been a great set of videos for Dungeon Saga, and it’s definitely going we wanting to play a campaign. This is definitely something I can introduce to my nephew, he loved playing Bolt Action, but this I’m sure will get him hooked on fantasy gaming.

i like the ork and goblins figures. They look better than the old ones
terrain looks so good!!!
Im thinking it would look good in the 4ground buildings for KoW 🙂
Definitely on the list
Great weekend – didn’t realise dungeon crawling was so much fun. Got to try it.
great videos. Just waiting for Mantic to ship my copy…..
Those abyssals look sweet. I’d almost like to make an adventuring party out of them
I’m so glad I supported the kickstarter for this. It is going to be awesome when it comes in.
Great video!
I think the best part of this is that you can play full co-op without the overlord, kind of like the old days with Warhammer quest.
I absolutely love the orcs! I think Mantic have done a great job there! Interested to see the whole dragon, the teaser image isn’t impressing me
I am so keen for this game, the models look fantastic and the furniture is awesome. Gonna run a =n adventure into a Norse hold for my gaming group, using my norse minis.
kant wait for the KS hitting my mat 🙂
Exciting. Would love to watch someone paint those models up. Those are incredible.
Really nice, I love the box, the minis and the game. A game made by gamers for gamers to game and re-game.
Awesome coverage of this new dungeon crawler.
It remembers me all my game of Warhammer Quest.
I should think about buying this one in order to play with my kids.
Being a big WHQ fan I can’t wait to get hold of my copy of DS, and in particular the adventurers companion – love the idea of playing evil villains trawling through a fortress full of ‘good’ guys
Looks really good!
Looking forward to the Orcs expansion
This game cannot arrive fast enough!
I absolutely love the orc and goblin models. So much character. Well painted to boot
I am so excited for this game. It looks awesome!
This has to have been the best set of videos that you guys have ever done (what do you mean “Infinity Week”?). I couldn’t believe how tense and exciting those quests were!
I jumped on the Kickstarter in the first 30 seconds, ended up pledging for way too much stuff and got super excited by the campaign.
Later, I followed the alpha and beta rules and my interest waned a bit – something about them didn’t excite me….
Fast forward to the finished product and… wow… the rules look like so much fun. The miniatures look better than I’d ever hoped for, in fact, everything looks top notch.
Can’t wait!
Noe really can’t wait for all the future stuff, and the adventurer’s companion so we can add in all the other Mantic toys! Already thinking of two adventures i want to create myself, working on the backstory now, then i’ll fit in the rules and the tiles needed. Been getting steadily excited for a few months (since the kickstarter manager closed), and everything looks great! Love the book boxes!
This has been a great weekend of videos, but I was a little disappointed with this video as we did not learn anything past what was part of the kickstarter. That said I am looking forward playing this game.
I’d love to use my elves in Dungeon Saga!
okay guys you have sold me on this game, looks excellent and so much fun, like the videos take me back to HeroQuest and remembered how much fun that was. Also like the idea with the supplement that you can create your own character and model them yourself. I wonder with the extras you can buy if they will bring out those nice dungeon bases to have your figures on.
It would be cool to see more expansions
I may have said this elsewhere but those miniatures are a huge step up from Mantic and I’d really like to see that translated into their multipart Kings of War models.
However for Dungeon Saga where I’m effectively looking for a diverse range of models but with only a few variants of each type, these look great. I especially like the Troll for the Warlord of Galahir.
I’m also massively looking forward to the adventurers companion and I already have an idea of running an Ancient Greek themed Dungeon.
I’M
I already commented on this video, but I just wanted to add an idea I’ve had, maybe others or mantic already thought of this, but perhaps the gaming tiles themselves could be made into plastic versions or some hobbyists amongst us could make their own “3d” titles that are based on the card 2d versions on the box. That way the modeled titles would look great with the 3d terrain pieces included in the box and would still be adjustable, just like the 2d card versions.
Really good stuff from mantic. I have 2 kings of war armies which I would love to use in this game, if only I could win a free copy… 🙂
The efreeti is very cool. I also like the orcs and goblins.
As soon as I can get my mits on the adventurers companion I’m converting all my Descent models into the game!
Thats a very solid range for roll out, and much scope for development.
The adventurer’s companion sounds right up my alley. Everything in there sounds like the kind of stuff that I’d really like to dive into. Sounds like I’m really going to have to look into this game. Any idea if they have a distributor in the United States?
Cant wait to paint some doors! 😀
I really hate myself for not buying into that Kickstarter, the more I hear and read about Dungeon Saga the more I like to play this game
We need Jake Thornton on Beasts of War to talk about Dungeon Saga.
I promise to squeal like a girl if you do.
That dragon looks pretty boss. It really has that classic D&D feel about it.
Great looking pieces, vast choices. This game sounds like a winner!! Can’t wait to get my hands on this game.
The best boardgame ever 🙂
Great vid! Shame about the hair in the close up show off shots!
Good thing it wasn’t curly.
Great job once again guys! I am so excited for DS to show up now, and I cannot wait for all of the expansions that Ronnie and the guys/gals at Mantic have in store for us.
I’m already convinced, I just need the money for this 🙂
Oooooo so many models! That dragon look awesome!
I can’t remember what I pledged for now… I fear it was just the main pledge with the game, adventurer’s companion and freebies. Doh!
Wow, Great game. This is looking alot like Warhammer Quest, and may replace all my fantasy dungeon crawlers.
I´m afraid DS will become an addiction, LOL.
I can´t wait for all the additional stuff Mantic will publish.
And I hope for more heros. This will be interessting for RPG, too. You could even do like 3 levels for every character, so that the minis look more chunky or better equiped when getting better. So you get even more of an RPG element inside the game.
And by the way Mr. Renton, here that voice in your head: Sell the book-boxes! Sell the book boxes! Sell the book-boxes! Sell the book boxes!
I was hoping everything was a bit more self contained, but still sounds excellent!
Good to see Mantic having lots up their sleeve to continue this range.
It’ll be interested to see how the advanced version plays!
A notable jump in quality for Mantic in both in sculpt and studio painting in those models. Very nice.
