| Have we heard whether or not ALL of the huges in WoDQ are going
to be playable in limited format for 200 point builds or are
some only going to be costed for 500 point builds (nightwalker, etc).
I have been spending an aweful lot of time under a rock called
life, so i've not kept 100% up to date.
Thanks,

| Huges are not allowed in 200 point play (including treant and bullete, etc., who's costs would not already prohibit them.)
the huges will still only be for epic (500) play. | |

| | Additionally, it has been stated (I believe it was Shoe that stated it) that since Huge minis are only tournament legal in Extreme format, they will only receive Epic cards. | |

| I understand that for constructed none of the Huges are
legal in 200 point format, but I am specifically reffering
to Limited (sealed) events listed in Gencon Schedule where
you are getting 2 boosters of WotDQ with 1 huge in each booster.
Will you essentially have to build warbads from 14 minis
in lieu of 16.

| Hrmn...from what I remember at Winter Fantasy, the pre-release/release event will be 500 points, hence the bonus mini being the extra huge spider to make sure everyone can field a 500 point band (in case you draw 2 of the lowest point huge or something as your huges in both boosters). So huges/epics should be legal in the pre-release :-p
I could be wrong, but that's what I remember.

| The Prerelease is 500 epic and is scheduled for July 1st. A Huge Fiendish Spider is suppose to be the promo figure that you can during warband building. Should be a repaint as well which will be cool.
The Gen Con League will be 500 pt Epic as well and I suspect they will give out either the Huge Uncommon Spider as well or hopefully since it's Gen Con a different Huge Uncommon figure to use as well. | |

| Narrowing the question certainly helps [:D]
Xenozephyr nailed it on the head. Extreme-format pre-release on July 1st. Having a standard 200 point assault would be silly for a Huge set (Tiamat is ~350 points for crying out loud). I'm looking forward to the prerelease [^] | |

| | The last Huge set was GoL, it did not have a prerelease. It was a constructed 500pt event. They moved to prerelease sealed after that. I would imagin that this one with also be sealed 500pt epic match. The sealed instuctions for sealed for GoL allowed you to create a 350 or 450 pt warband and you had to gain VP = to your warband (or eliminate you opponiates wardand) in order to win. the Huge minis were not balanced vs each other very well in GoL. | |
