Here, there are no flawless heroes: your fighters gain experience but can also be maimed or killed in each battle. The game unfolds as a dynamic campaign where every clash impacts the next. Four factions vie for control: Guild Mercenaries, Verminkin, Death Covens, and the Blighted Cloister. Best part? It's 'miniature-agnostic'—use whatever minis you own or improvise with what's handy. Expect strategy, thrilling dice rolls, and tough choices that shape your warband's fate. ## FAQ ### Player count? Not confirmed yet, but likely 2+ — great for duels or small groups. ### How long does it take? Campaign-dependent, but each battle should last 60-90 minutes. ### Do I need specific miniatures? Nope! It's miniature-agnostic, so use whatever you own (or even pieces from other games). ### Is it too complex? It has tactical depth but rules are approachable for wargame veterans. Newcomers might need a warm-up. ### Solo or co-op? Seems PvP-focused, but narrative campaigns could inspire house rules.
