Writing using runes and runestones was used more for tributes and keeping track of trades. Histories, traditions and cultures were passed down through the generations orally. Gaming in the Viking AgeĪs we’ve mentioned a few times before, the Vikings didn’t really bother to write their traditions down. Let’s take a deep dive into the games of Viking history, then and now. It might surprise you to learn that, like us, one way they did that was to sit down and play board games! When they weren’t swashbuckling their way across the seas to find new lands to conquer, the Vikings had plenty of time to fill. We take a look at historic games played by the Vikings, along with modern video games inspired by the era. Plan is to use battle mats for it, as we already have seen with the 40k and Khorne one from GW prime.The sagas of the northmen make the perfect subject for games. No 3D pits atm - they experimented with it, but have found a better solution. Special Play Cards are in too - and they are planning on doing event only ones for events and tournament goodie packs. Maybe we will even get event only Starplayers. They also want to do a plastic Troll and Ogre clampack. After this they will look how sales go to decide on future plastic teams, but the plan is to do future teams in resin. Next teams in plastic will be Dwarfes, Skaven and Goblins. The sprues are green/blue and you can start to play within a few minutes.
The box will contain everything you need to start - the rules (core rules are unchanged, but there will be some expanded ones too in the booklet), markers, dice, a double sided pit and two plastic teams. No ETA on the release yet, as it's sales management that sets the dates, not FW/ SG The starter box (humans vs orks) is finished, and produced.
