Take a closer look at GW’s new Battle for Vedros, the new starter line of 40K products aimed squarely at kids!
Here’s what we know about the game itself:
And some of the same units. Notices anything “familiar” about the “new” units?
Just like Betrayal at Calth for 30k, When you watch the video, you can see the Battle for Vedros game is also simplified, but the under carriage of 4ok is still there.
I think it’s safe to say this is the Gateway game for kids to step right up into the grim dark. Plus with it’s “Mom friendly” packaging, it likely that the Battle for Vedros will find it’s way into more and more homes if it’s on the shelf with things like Milton Bradley etc.
~ How old do these kids look, more and more kids are getting into electronics earlier. Can GW snag them into the hobby this late in the game?
