In the Chaos-tainted wastes of the Eightpoints, a bitter struggle rages for control of varanite – a mysterious substance that renders all manner of dark designs possible. Vast hordes of the stuff are dredged up from the depths via daemonic mining machinery that hungers for blood. In these places of infernal industry, warbands devoted to the Ruinous Powers fight to claim great hauls of varanite, using the environment itself as a weapon to annihilate their rivals and claim victory. Warcry is a game of skirmish-scale battles with larger-than-life action and strategy. Set in the brutal environment of the Eightpoints, rival warbands fight not for survival but for glory and the attention of cruel warlords.
