An upcoming specialist game for Age of Sigmar and successor to Skirmish, Warcry is advertised as combining aspects of Warhammer Underworlds and Kill Team, and promises a much more complex and nuanced take on the various factions of Age of Sigmar, presumably by going into detail for small-scale forces that don't have much of a presence in the wider battlefields. The (few) models we've seen look awesome. From what we've been told and shown, it appears to be very Chaos focused, being set in the Allpoints, which is a certain somebody's favourite haunt.
The Game
Seeking the favor of the Everchosen, warbands of Chaos cultists and other denizens of the Mortal Realms clash for supremacy. More information is allegedly inbound for Age of Sigmar Open Day on July 20th, 2019.
Warbands
Iron Golems
"We Make War!" Hailing from the Realm of Metal, these warriors are renowned for the quality of their smithing, believing themselves chosen by Archaon himself to forge arms and armor for the Slaves to Darkness. They also have both Duardin and Ogors.
Untamed Beasts
"Hunt the Hunter!" These bloodthirsty hunters from the Realm of Beasts, these primal cultists bring the old school Marauder chaos vibe with their adornments and weapons made of bone, leather, and rippling muscles. They appear to be accompanied by a horned lion creature from Ghur.
Splintered Fang
"One Cut, One Kill!" A Chaos murder cult from the Cobra Command Realm of Life, these guys are another multi-race warband, including both humans and aelves, and have a Spartan/Gladiator aesthetic. And snakes. They really like snakes.
Corvus Cabal
"Pick Clean the Corpse!" A tribe from Ulgu who worship Chaos in the form of a crow called the Great Gatherer, and as such have a heavy crow theme going on.
The Unmade
"Agony is Our Gift!" A Warband originating in Shyish, the Realm of Death, these Chaos followers revel in both enduring and brandishing agony as a weapon. Lots of spikes and chains, even some heavy metal stilts.
Cypher Lords
"Let Madness Reign!" Hailing from the Realm of Light, these cultists bring a little more of a civilized and seductive bent to chaos. Their attire is much more clean and lightly colored with ornate headgear abounding. These folks are pulling in a toned-down aesthetic that falls somewhere between Tzeentch and Slaanesh.
