Get Introduced To Warcry With GW’s Crypt Of Blood Starter Set
July 25, 2023 by brennon
Games Workshop are going to be taking pre-orders for a new Warhammer Age Of Sigmar: Warcry Starter Set this weekend. Crypt Of Blood provides folks with a slimmed-down way to get involved with Warcry featuring two typically Bladeborn Fighter warbands.

This set comes with everything you need to play out a quick and brutal game of Warcry. You get two smaller warbands in the Crimson Court and Xandire's Truthseekers. They are battling over the treasures located inside a legendary vampire's tomb that could end up tipping the balance for the factions in the Mortal Realms.
You also get all of the tokens, dice, fighter cards and more that you need to dive into some games plus you get that neat terrain as well. It's not quite the old Morr's Garden terrain from The Old World but it looks rather nifty and should be fun to fight over.

It's a shame that this didn't come out sooner! I have both of the warbands here but have yet to actually dive into Warcry and play the game. I have one of the big sets but this would have been a good entry point considering it comes with the tokens and such. My set that I have has all the terrain, warbands and cards but it's lacking in some of the essential accessories.
I might end up just picking this up anyway depending on the price point. It will also be interesting to see if they are given the same statistics as the Bladeborn in Warcry or if they have been given tweaked characteristics for this Starter Set.
New Warcry Warbands
As well as this new Starter Set, you also have the option to pick up two of the latest warbands separately now. Pick up the Questor Soulsworn and the Royal Beastflayers that were wandering through the Gnarlwood recently.

Royal Beastflayers // Warhammer Age Of Sigmar: Warcry
Some great Thunderstrike Armour-clad Stormcast Eternals led by their grim protector and a slavering band of ghouls that are a mockery of the royal hunts that they believe themselves to be part of. All of these pre-orders are going to be available this weekend so keep an eye out if you'd like to dive in!
Will you be giving that new Starter Set a go?

Love the look of the terrain.
All four pieces
Given this set is 85 euros I wonder if it’s possible to put together a Frostgrave set on the same budget, 20 minis , a small playmat, rules and 4-5 terrain pieces
To answer my own question… Not quite.
Mat £22
Minis £29 1box + 1 sprue -24 minis
Scenery £14
Rules £18
