Loving the added disks. Seems like FFG got this one right, at least from an initial look. Once I get a few games in I'll form more of an opinion though.

Warhammer: Diskwars - Hammer and Hold is an expansion for the Order forces introducing new allies to your armies. Expand with a complete Dwarf army, new regiments of Wood Elves and Lizardmen.

- 15 cards (63.0mmx88.0mm)
Hammer and Hold adds fifty disks to the forces of Order in Warhammer: Diskwars, including heroes and units for the Wood Elves, Lizardmen, and Dwarfs. Along with these disks, and the regiments they can form, come new rules for Poison and the powerful keywords, Guard X and Stalwart. Units with Poison assign poison tokens to their foes whenever they deal damage in melee or with their ranged attacks. These poison tokens then cause the target's wounds to fester, preventing it from clearing its damage tokens in the end phase, as well as limiting the effect of any healing or restorative magic. Guard X is the opposite of Impact X, and a unit with Guard X deals X damage to each enemy disks that pin it after a flip. Stalwart allows units to activate to perform ranged attacks or activate focus abilities even while they’re pinned. It's truly difficult to keep a Stalwart unit pinned for long! Still, it's the Dwarfs that are the true stars of Hammer and Hold, and the expansion comes with enough Dwarf heroes and units to muster three full regiments. Fueled by a host of ancient grudges, these tough and stalwart warriors guard their holds and press the fight to their enemies with axes, hammers, runes, and war machines. Dwarf troops stand among the game's toughest units, and their heroes’ abilities and command cards allow them to rise to the challenges of any fight.

Great but really disappointing that the game will never see the Wood Elves or Lizardmen with more regiments.
Expands the "Order" or "good" side. You get a hefty Dwarf army, bigger than the armies in the base box, along with a couple units for the High Elves and Empire, and single regiments of Lizardmen and Wood Elves. There are also a few cards, even a special scenario similar to the Strongholds one from the base box, except you don't need two base sets to play. If you can't get enough Diskwars, this is a no-brainer.
Dwarfs are great. The Lizards feel so-so, and the wood elves are possibly OP. Reinforcements for empire and elves are good. It's a problem that this box comes with a good team while the vampires of the Legions of Darkness box are weak.
More stuff for Warhammer: Diskwars is something great and I was really hoping for this line to be supported for a long time! Unfortunately, there are only two small expansions ('Hammer and Hold' and 'Legions of Darkness') that introduce two new regiments and a few units from other regiments that never came out! I would have really liked a Skaven army or a Lizardmen one, but sadly this is never going to happen.
