Runewars: Drei weitere Uthuk Erweiterungen

Die Horden der Uthuk erhalten gleich drei Erweiterungen von Fantasy Flight Games für Runewars.

The wide plains of the Ru, and the dread realm that extends even farther, mark the easternmost reaches of Terrinoth. To the uninitiated, they seem little more than a wasteland, the point where the outer reaches of the civilized world crumble away into nothingness. And yet, the howling plains and dust-cloaked badlands hide secrets as ancient as Terrinoth itself.

The lands of Mennara are caught in constant conflict. In Runewars Miniatures Game, four powerful factions battle for control of the realm, using their armies filled with warriors, beasts, and arcane weapons as they attempt to grasp power. From the depths of the Ru Darklands, the Uthuk Y’llan have quietly gathered their strength for centuries, plotting their revenge on those who nearly wiped out their kind during the First Darkness. To this end, the Locust Swarm has called upon its most ruthless leaders and the mightiest demons of the Ynfernael. Now, they increase their strength with bloodthirsty fighters, the likes of which have not been seen in Terrinoth for an age.

Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce the Beastmaster Th’Uk Tar Hero Expansion, Viper Legion Unit Expansion, and Obscenes Unit Expansion, now available for pre-order at your local retailer or online through our website!

Beastmaster Th’Uk Tar Hero Expansion – 34,95 USD

Bend the creatures of the Ru steppes to your will with the Beastmaster Th’Uk Tar Hero Expansion for Runewars Miniatures Game! When the Uthuk march into battle, their ranks are filled with not only tribesmen of the Ru Steppes, but also deadly beasts that thrive in the broken lands. Only Beastmaster Th’Uk Tar can bend them to his will, using his spine whips to beat the creatures into submission. Marked by the Ynfernael with hooked feet and razor fangs, this Uthuk tribesman was destined for glory from infancy. Now a chieftain, he uses his unholy link to lead his pack to war, and all shall either submit or perish!

The Beastmaster Th’Uk Tar Hero Expansion includes two unpainted figures, one command tool, a new objective and deployment card, thirteen upgrade cards, and a collection of tokens to further customize your demonic army.

This is not a standalone product. It requires a copy of the Runewars Miniatures Game Core Set and the Uthuk Y’llan Army Expansion to play.

Viper Legion Unit Expansion – 24,95 USD

Darken the skies with the Viper Legion Unit Expansion for Runewars Miniatures Game! Armed with piercing arrows and venom from the most dangerous serpents, these cunning circumspect warriors are perhaps more dangerous than the Uthuk’s Berserkers or demons as they strike their enemies with poisoned volleys across great distances. Those infected with their toxins rarely have the strength even to whisper a final curse before they perish. Learn the secrets of the serpents and purge the unworthy from the world!

The Viper Legion Unit Expansion includes eight unpainted figurines, one command tool, a collection of tokens, and five upgrade cards to further customize your demonic army.

Surrender to the power of the Ynfernael with the Obscenes Unit Expansion for Runewars Miniatures Game! These twisted, warped warriors shed their frail selves in exchange for the toughened skins split with spikes, gorging on the power of the Ynfernael. When the grotesquely swollen brutes march into battle, the very ground shakes with their approach. Weilding massive clubs along with the momentum of their bulk and hounded by an incredible taste for flesh, they shall feast on the enemies of the Uthuk until nothing living remains!

The Obscenes Unit Expansion includes two new unpainted figurines, two command tools, a collection of tokens, and eight upgrade cards to further customize your demonic army.

Beastmaster Th’Uk Tar

In the steppes of the Ru Darklands, parents pray for their children to be blessed by the dark touch of the Ynfernael, marking them for glory. Th’Uk Tar was thus marked with hooked legs and razor-sharp fangs, leading his mother to leave him in the heart of the Ru for him to grow strong or die, in accordance with the ancient Laws of Tarn’khara.

But the child did not die. Through some profane connection with the monsters that thrive in the broken lands, Th’Uk Tar was taken in by the deadly caecilian Gorgemaw and raised as its own. Years later, he returned to his village, followed by his monsters, to take his place as chief and to claim the title of Beastmaster.

The Beastmaster Th’Uk Tar Hero Expansion features two new miniatures, allowing you to use the Beastmaster as either a cavalry or siege unit, as well as a collection of tokens, thirteen upgrade cards, and two unit cards with linked names. While your army can only contain one card with a linked name at a time, these connected cards can appear at different times during a battle due to certain effects, such as Lord Vorun’thul’s ability to transform. While Beastmaster Th’Uk Tar cannot call upon Gorgemaw in the middle of a battle, his cost, armor, available upgrades, and abilities all vary depending on which version of the hero you send into battle.

During melee combat, whether he is accompanied by Gorgemaw or simply wielding his spine-whips, Th’Uk Tar’s front edge is treated as touching the front edge of all enemies close before him, enabling him to attack his opponents while staying just out of harm’s reach. This extraordinary reach remains the same, whether or not Th’Uk Tar is accompanied by Gorgemaw, but his other abilities may change. While he is attacking unaccompanied, the Beastmaster may use a skill action to cause a nearby non-unique ally to reform or shift its position at the cost of suffering a wound. If, on the other hand, Th’Uk Tar marches into battle alongside Gorgemaw, he may instead increase the speed of his marches or modify his shift actions with turns as his caecilian companion weaves across the battlefield.

Still, despite Gorgemaw’s incredible power, Thu’Uk Tar has set his eyes on the fascinating creatures of the Aymhelin for the next additions to his pack. With the monsters of the Ru at his back, he knows that any beasts who stand against him will submit to his rule or perish. And wouldn’t it be amusing to see Aliana of Summersong slaughtered by her own Leonx?

Obscenes

There are some among the Uthuk Y’llan who do not merely accept the gifts of the Ynfernael and instead choose to gorge themselves on all the power they can grasp. The Ynfernael shall gladly feed their appetites, but at a terrible cost. These select Uthuk tribesmen, known as the Obscenes, gain immense power, becoming huge and bloated while still maintaining a supernatural speed, provided they continue to feed. When the massive army of the Uthuk Y’llan takes to the battlefield, these ravenous tribesmen will continue to fight and feast until they are slain or nothing remains for them to consume.

The Obscenes Unit Expansion includes two figures, unit cards, and command tools, as well as a collection of tokens and eight upgrade cards to customize and strengthen your Locust Swarm. Should you choose to call upon these bloodthirsty one-man siege units, you will be able to control your enemy’s movement like never before. Obscenes may use a skill action to choose an enemy engaged with them with no more than three times their number of trays (even a bloodthirsty Obscene is not foolhardy enough to confront a full column of cavalry single-handed). That stricken enemy must perform a speed-1 shift in the direction of your choice! You may move them into range of Beastmaster Thu’Uk Tar’s vicious whips, or draw them closer to your other units to feast upon their flesh yourself.

When the monstrous men march into battle, some Obscenes go on to become masters of entire warbands of the Uthuk. Those who follow them are most often driven by fear, but a select few chase the same power that first drove the Obscenes to embrace the madness of never-ending hunger. Occasionally, one of the corrupted tribesmen will teach the secret of their gifts to an initiate, and soon the hunger will begin to burn within their bellies. Thus the cycle continues until all of Mennara is consumed.

The Time for War

Feed your ambition and shape Terrinoth to your dark vision. Use the ancient wisdom of Llovar and his peers to your advantage to control the monsters of the Ru steppes, learn the secrets of the serpent, and absorb the power of the Ynfernael. With these dedicated soldiers at your disposal, nothing can stand in your way!
