Just received the Core and Reliquary boxes as a birthday present to myself. I knew what was in the core box, but the reliquary box came as a huge surprise - monsters, including The Beast and Cockatrice, an Ottoman army including the sultan on his flying carpet, more characters, including Edward III mounted and dismounted, more types of infantry, an artillery piece, various demons, musicians and flags and extra cards.
I am quite keen to paint all of this eventually, but will give it an initial go just using the coloured ring bases. first job, get my head round the rules, which seem relatively straightforward, and investigate the world of laminating pouches to find the best fit for the various cards.
Previously I have only ever done historical gaming, but the idea of an historical medieval world populated by the creatures that the people of the time actually believed in is very appealing and a great bridge between history and fantasy.
