Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Warcry: Catacombs is a stunning new core set that allows you to battle in the underground dungeons of Varanthax’s Maw, deep beneath the Skullpike Mountains – get ready for the Warhammer-iest game of ‘the floor is lava’ ever! The ancient, trap-filled dungeons stretch on and on, populated by monsters and blood-hungry savages, so muster your warbands and prepare to venture into the abyssal darkness… In addition to everything you need to play – including a core rulebook, dice, terrain, and a double-sided, fold-out card gameboard – the set includes two warbands: the Khainite Shadowstalkers and the Scions of the Flame! The Shadowstalkers are soul-bound to Morathi and imbued with incredible powers that make them a threat unlike any other. After all, it’s hard to escape the Shadowstalkers when they can blink between shadows in an instant and command your own reflection to stab you in the back! Meanwhile, the Scions of the Flame are Aqshy-obsessed fanatics in service of Archaon, who they believe will scour the Mortal Realms clean in a fiery apocalypse. If Warhammer Age of Sigmar is your jam as well, the box even includes warscrolls for using the new warbands in larger-scale battles too! -description from publisher's website
