Blizzard is planning another foray into the board side of gaming, as we're getting a classic tabletop co-op game remade with a Wrath of the Lich King theme and a possible new ruleset, and to top it all off it's coming this year!

We've recently had Small World of Warcraft as well, but Pandemic is one of the biggest names in boardgames, and this is a very exciting theme to add to it, especially with the plague/Scourge angle coming with the Lich King (and maybe some soul-taking as well). We see Anduin, Thrall and Sylvanas in the trailer, so there should be some cool powers to be had (and hopefully more heroes as well).

 

Frostmourne hungers! Can you defeat the dreaded Lich King? Or will you fall to his power? Watch the first look at this exciting collaboration between Blizzard Entertainment and Z-Man Games bringing World of Warcraft to the tabletop.
More info to come soon.....

Those look like some solid miniatures in the trailer (well, aside from Sylvanas - boy she's having a really bad week isn't she), and the board isn't too shabby either. I'm definitely adding this one to my collection. While we don't know exactly what the twist will be to the Pandemic formula with WotLK, you can check out the basic gameplay here for a quick look  or here for a longer and better one in case you're not familiar with the system (I just picked the shortest one). The Pandemic "system" aka franchise has had many iterations and variations over the years, from different themes to some relatively drastic mechanics and rules changes (including some awesome Legacy campaign style versions), so we might be getting a pretty big overhaul here for WoW.

I think thats a Varian Miniature based on the tuft of hair at the back end rather than Anduins classic ponytail, but i do agree those models look great and i may have to purchase the game just so i can use them as hero models in my D&D campaigns xD

      Earthen Allied Race Dances and Customization Options
      By Staff
      The new War Within Allied Races was added to the Alpha today and we already have a full look at not only all their customization options, but their dances as well, courtesy of MrGM! You can check out the Earthen's racial abilities here if you missed them earlier. 
      Let's start with the more dynamic feature, with both male and female dances:
      And then there's big amount of customization options, as well as a size comparison with regular dwarves:

      So, are we liking the new Allied Race overall? More than actual dwarves?

      Warband Members in Follower Dungeons?
      By Staff
      Here's a really cool possibility for the War Within, as a very subtle and mildly mysterious comment from Executive Producer and Vice President for WoW, Holly Longdale, may be hinting at our Warband characters getting a lot more involved in our travels! 
      First spotted by UlthansWrath, Longdale came up to Taliesin & Evitel at the recent London War Within Alpha press event and had a short chat about the Warband screen, when she casually said "wouldn't it be cool if those were the characters you took as your followers in your Follower Dungeons?" After the obvious confirmation from Taliesin and Evitel that, yes, yes it would be cool, she just said "hm" and that was the end of the conversation.
      Obviously this isn't any sort of official confirmation, but considering this is a really awesome idea, it seems likely Blizzard are at the very least discussing it, if not already working on it.

      The Warband system is already great, and this would add a lot to it for players that choose to go solo into dungeons, as it would give them even more motivation to get some great characters in their Warband - even if it was just a cosmetic option.
      So, what do you think, will we be seeing this feature when the War Within launches?
