GTM #206 - Runewars Miniatures Game Unit Expansions
by Fantasy Flight Games

War has consumed the realm of Terrinoth, as the darksome legions of Waiqar the Undying shamble out of the Mistlands. The noble Daqan Lords have called their banners and marched forth to face the undead menace, and now both sides call for reinforcements with four new expansions for Runewars Miniatures Game:

  • Oathsworn Cavalry Unit Expansion
  • Daqan Infantry Unit Upgrade Expansion
  • Reanimate Archers Unit Expansion
  • Waiqar Infantry Unit Upgrade Expansion

Whether a player is sworn to fight for the Daqan Lords or Waiqar the Undying, he’ll find new tools to grow his armies in these expansion packs. Two unit expansions offer additional figures for players’ armies, letting them field new units or increase the size of existing units. Unit upgrade expansions, on the other hand, dramatically increase the level of army-building and customization for every army by divulging a host of new upgrade cards and new figures that can be implanted into larger infantry units. No matter which expansions your players choose, they provide new ways to engage in fantasy warfare on an epic scale.

~ Join the Daqan Lords ~

With the first two of these new expansion packs, players can expand their options for commanding the Daqan Lords — the humans who rule Terrinoth and battle against the undead revenants encroaching on their lands. Few sounds strike more fear into an enemy of Terrinoth than the thundering hooves of a column of armored destriers. Within the Oathsworn Cavalry Unit Expansion, players find four new Oathsworn Cavalry figures — enough to field a two-tray unit or increase the size of an existing unit.

These heavy cavalry are renowned for their ability to charge into battle, shattering enemy formations by the sheer force of their initial assault. What’s more, this expansion pack offers five new upgrade cards that can be used by any faction, giving any player new ways to tweak their forces for maximum damage and efficiency. A Runewars army is primarily composed of units, but the second step in building an army is to customize those units with upgrade cards. The Daqan Infantry Unit Upgrade Expansion contains a wealth of these upgrades, giving players almost unlimited control over how they want their army to behave on the battlefield. Whether a player wants to control a fast, mobile team of units, or an army configured for maximum damage, these upgrade cards offer the tools to realize each player’s vision. This expansion also includes four unique figures — a Banner Guard, a Champion, a Wizard, and a Cornicen — that can be added to another infantry unit with unique upgrade cards and special abilities.

~ Raise the Undead ~

Just as the first two expansion packs focus on the Daqan Lords, the remaining two invite players to join the necromantic forces of Waiqar the Undying, leading shambling reanimates into battle and raising the dead as fast as they fall. If players prefer to rain death on enemies from afar, they would be naturally drawn to the Reanimate Archers Unit Expansion. The hiss of Reanimates’ blighted arrows raining down from the skies sends even veteran soldiers scrambling for cover, and this expansion pack includes eight Reanimate Archer figures, allowing a player to field a new two-tray unit or add two trays to one of his existing units. Then, with the addition of five new upgrade cards, any player can make his units more lethal, whether they’re firing a volley of arrows or engaging in melee combat.

Finally, every Waiqar player can benefit from the Waiqar Infantry Unit Upgrade Expansion. Featuring a fearsome array of eighteen upgrade cards to remake units however a player chooses, this expansion pack dramatically increases every player’s options for army building. And just like the Daqan Infantry Unit Upgrade Expansion, this expansion introduces four unique figures — a Standard-Bearer, a Champion, a Drummer, and a Necromancer. By implanting these figures into a larger infantry unit, you grant that unit powerful special abilities that could be the difference between victory and defeat in a game.

~ Reinforcements Incoming! ~

The first battles of the next great war have already begun, and both sides are eager for reinforcements on the front lines. With these four expansion packs for Runewars Miniatures Game, your players will be able to grow and customize their armies like never before as they enter the world of Terrinoth.
