More details on the Age of Sigmar Battle Board are coming in. This is one product any GW fan can use and it was right under our noses…

 

First off, we have rumors saying the Age of Sigmar Battle Board is coming very soon (1-2 weeks).  We have seen an unpainted plate doing the rounds from early retailers samples sent out here:

But a little detective work has put it all together:

The looks to be not a single place, but a full Age of Sigmar themed Realm of Battle 6-plate set.

If you take out your Age of Sigmar softcover 96pg book and turn to the missions section, look closely at the board the mission objectives are drawn on:

We get this:

aos-tiles-100

 

Now ignore the text and dark outlined mission objectives and look at the tiles behind.  Then notice that pattern of what makes up the 6 tile set:

1 tile A: “3 circular areas & curved pathway” (upper left)

1 tile B: “deep crack with bridge over it” (lower center)

2 tiles C: “minor cracks/scars along the periphery” (lower left, upper right) ~the tile in the retailer photo above

2 tiles D: “exposed ruins running along the central third of the tile” (upper center, lower right)

Now take a look at the background pics used in the mission section and you will notice all of those various tiles sections appearing here and there.

Tile B with bridge visible

aos-tiles-103

 

Tile D with ruins visible

No idea on what this set will run, the but the existing Realm of Battle 6-tile sets go for roughly $350.  If anyone can spot a shot of Tile A let’s see it.

 

 

~Look for this to be showing up soon.
