About the game
What you do in a play session
BattleLore: Second Edition – Hernfar Guardians Army Pack breathes new life into the already popular Terrinoth setting. The expansion introduces four new Daqan units: Greyhaven Battlemages, who shield the army with spell‑based defenses; Citadel Lancers, who charge and trample enemy lines; Ironbound automatons, armored and resilient, delivering brutal blows; and the massive Siege Golem, capable of withstanding assaults while dealing devastating damage. Together, these four classes form a combat framework that blends defense, charge attack, and firepower, giving the commander a wider strategic palette. With 25 new miniatures and an additional nine Citadel Guard figures, the expansion comes fully equipped for building complete armies. The Army Cards suggest balanced compositions that integrate the new units, while the full Lore Deck unlocks special abilities that amplify any Daqan. New terrain tiles and scenario cards create unprecedented battlefields, forcing players to rethink positioning and grid‑movement tactics. The experience stays true to BattleLore’s core: dice rolling, grid movement, and modular board. However, the inclusion of army cards and the lore deck adds a narrative layer and decision‑making depth that elevates complexity to a medium‑high level, perfect for those seeking deep challenges. Game time remains around 90 minutes, preserving the fast pace that defines the series. In summary, the Hernfar Guardians Army Pack is an essential add‑on for anyone who owns BattleLore Second Edition and wants to expand the Daqan unit roster, explore new scenarios, and deepen battlefield strategy. If you enjoy detailed miniatures, cards that shape the flow of war, and a medieval fantasy setting, this pack will keep you excited.
