About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare for a dark clash in BattleLore: Second Edition with the Heralds of Dreadfall Army Pack! This expansion plunges you headfirst into Waiqar's undead forces, bringing terrifying new units like Death Knights, Wraiths, and the fearsome Barrow Wyrm. If you enjoy a good wargame with miniatures and a touch of dark fantasy, this box is for you. The pack adds a new Blight hex and the 'Blight' mechanic, which will leave your enemies significantly weakened. Additionally, there's a brand-new deck of 20 Lore cards, packed with tactical tricks for you to use. You can assemble powerful armies with the two ready-made army cards included in the box, or create your own, focusing on your best strategies. This expansion gives you everything you need to command a respectable undead army. And if you want to go further, you can even mix these units with those from 'Terrors of the Mists' to create an undead force that will leave your opponents in awe. It includes 37 detailed plastic miniatures, representing 9 Reanimates, 12 Skeleton Archers, 9 Death Knights, 6 Wraiths, and 1 Barrow Wyrm. Everything is ready for battle, with army cards, 20 Lore cards focused on the new units, 6 scenario cards, and 4 terrain tiles to alter the battlefield. It's an expansion that truly broadens the tactical and thematic options of the base game.
