Sorry I ended up going into work and then getting very drunk.

So, how's the game? Worth picking up?

Yuuuup. I enjoyed it thoroughly, and I think Tim did too. I really like the concept of the whole thing and it's pretty quick to play. There are four expansions as of now, each with a new Warlord, and two more due in the cycle. Then it's Nids.
I think I can make it out to the Dojo tomorrow night, so I can bring it along if anyone wants a game. Aileen's getting a bunch more in this week and the next for those who want in. Also, she said she'd hook me up with the Tournament kit that she got last season and didn't use because no one played it. Acrylic tokens for everyone!

But I'm looking forward to trying it out again now that I know how it works a little better. Damn Tau....

Really enjoyed playing this yesterday with Jeff, and have already decided to pick it and the expansions up myself. Ive always loved tcg and lcg games, so this is right in my wheelhouse.
Also of note, is warhammer invasion - similar concept, but in the whfb universe. I know Andy used to run regionals iirc at Galactic Force...for those who miss fantasy, might be a solid way to get your fix.

It is turning out to be a pretty cool game. It definitely makes you think real hard.
And for added bonus, Aileen just straight up gave me the 2015 Spring Tournament kit so I got a bunch of alt-art cards and deck boxes for those who wanna join in.
No acrylic tokens unfortunately! Hopefully in the future.

I also found a seller on amazon that had the next set in stock, despite street date being April 3 (from what I read), so I have that on its way. Gotta make it out to wanderers at some point this week to grab the core set though - and couldn't be more excited for both the DE set coming out soon (May I guess?) and the Nid set (June?). GOING TO BE BALLER
PS I saw that the worlds last november were pretty mundane...like 80% of the people showed up with Sicarius decks, and just beat the shit out of each other. Eldar/Dark Eldar was top 16 too...so my love for pointy eared tricksters stays strong. Think I'm going to end up doing DE/Eldar or DE/Chaos...none of this "tau/marine" nonsense.

I'd definitely be all over silly acrylic tokens or deck boxes. Or playmats!!!
Eldar seem pretty ridiculous. I played CJ last week and he beat the snot out my Space Marines with them.

Yeah, the first World's was just the core set, so diversity was a bit tough to come by. FYI, the Urien Rakarth warpack comes with Baharroth for Eldar as well... pretty dope if you ask me.
I don't think Aileen has any cores in right now, but they should be there tomorrow or Thursday I think. Hopefully she gets a couple copies of The Scourge too; I need some cards in there.

So each warlord expansion comes with what...3 copies of each card plus a new warlord? Basically, how many of each expansion should I expect to grab in order to get the cards I want?

You'll only need one of each expansion. It comes with 3 of each card, a Warlord, and the Warlord's signature squad, which are the cards you're required to include in your deck if you choose that Warlord.

Is it one warlord per expansion? And do all of the cards match?
Example for Netrunner - each expansion is a full playset of the cards they contain, but they tend to focus on two factions (one corp, one runner) per expansion, with 2-3 neutrals thrown in.
ie - would I be buying an expansion for 2 cards for a DE/Eldar/Tyranid/Whatever deck, or will the expansion be pretty focused on a given group?
Would like to get a few more games in, preferably where I don't get completely curb stomped, to get a better feel for it. Down to play today if no one responds to my plastic-crack post!

Each expansion has 1 Warlord (except for the Descendants of Isha which will have 2), their Signature Squad (cards that always go in a deck with that Warlord), and then a smattering of cards for every other faction, 3 copies of each included.
I doubt that there will be any mono-faction expansions. Even the Tyranid big box will have cards for everyone.
I don't know what you mean by "do all of the cards match."
