The Old World is no more. Warhammer is no more.
Going forward, Age of Sigmar will replace Warhammer.
We are now accepting pre-orders for the Age of Sigmar starter set in our store.
Here are some key notes about the game straight from Games Workshop themselves:
- The 4-page rule book will be available for download for free from the Games Workshop website starting this Saturday, July 4th.
- The starter set will be $125.00 and will be available starting on Saturday July 11th. The starter set will include 18 Stormcast Eternal figures (new faction), 29 new Khorne figures, a 29-page Age of Sigmar book (background/story material and scenarios), a printed version of the rulebook, and the War Scrolls.
- War Scrolls, which will be available for free download from the Games Workshop website, will include the stat lines, special rules, and key words for each unit.
- Key Words will able to be used and combined to allow different tactical advantages. For instance, a figure might have a special rule that gives a bonus to all figures within 8 inches that have the Daemon Key Word.
- There will no longer be point values for any figures. It will be up to the players to determine what figures they want to bring to the fight and the game can scale from 1 figure per side to infinite figures per side.
- Army composition rules are no more. Players will no longer have to worry about having a specific number of core units, or a limited number of rare units.
- Armies can also comibne now in any way. Players can have Lizardmen teamed up with Skaven fighting against Chaos Beastmen and Tomb Kings.
- Bases size/shape no longer matter. Unit coherency and movement is now fluid like Warhammer 40,000. Warhammer figures will now be supplied with round and oval bases, but it does not matter what the figures are mounted on since measurements are measured from figure to figure.
So, how will this new game play? We will find out this weekend when the new rules come out.

History records many great pairings. Death and Taxes. Peanut Butter and Jelly. Cats and Cheezburgers. Now we've mashed up Munchkin with Smash Up!

Unleashing eight new factions based on Munchkin races and classes (Orcs, Warriors, Halflings, Clerics, Dwarves, Elves, Thieves, and Mages) into the mayhem of Smash Up, this stand-alone expansion can be played by itself, or combined with existing Smash Up sets for calamitous clashes!

Plus, two brand-new card types are introduced: 'Monsters' lurk around the bases, while 'Treasures' give you new rewards when you smash a base.

"This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions! Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff! Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes, the dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!"
~ Ghostbusters (1984) ~
Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night? Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic? Have you or your family ever seen a spook, spectre, or ghost? If the answer is "yes," then don't wait another minute!
Pick up the phone and call the professionals!
Featuring unique illustrations and figures based on original artwork and designs by Dan Schoening, the artist of IDW's Ghostbusters comic book series, Ghostbusters: The Board Game is an episodic, customizable, cooperative adventure game where players are charged with busting ghosts and sealing gates to the Spirit World.
Each Ghostbuster (Peter Venkman, Egon Spengler, Winston Zeddemore, and Ray Stantz) has a distinct role, and as players gain experience from banishing spirits - like Slimer, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, Indulnas, Galloping Ghouls, Gruesome Twosomes, and Boogaloo - the Ghostbusters level-up, gaining new abilities that help them take on greater challenges.
The team can also hop in the Ecto-1, the Ghostbusters’ converted ambulance, to help them quickly move through the city. Now's your chance to save the world!
