Spire of Dawn Thoughts
A few points here:
The inclusion of both square and round bases makes me think this might be a rebox of existing Island of Blood inventory.
The pricepoint is INSANE for that many minis, including the very, very well done High Warden on Eagle. That works out to $1.08 per mini, many of which are cavalry and/or heroes!
I don’t know if the rules in this box will be identical, but remember that last year GW put out a Warscroll PDF for Island of Blood. It’s still out there.
~Happy holidays!
