## Description
If you're already a Heroscape fan, you know that the terrain is half the fun. Thaelenk Tundra arrives to turn your battlefield into a frozen nightmare, bringing Wave 4.5 to the table. Forget the green plains; now the fight happens on ice, with glacial mountains that completely change the strategy of positioning and troop movement.

This set is focused on expanding the game's geography. You get a generous amount of terrain pieces, including 21 ice hexes and various snow tiles (both single and double), allowing you to create imposing arctic scenarios. The highlight is the 6 glacial mountains and their bases, providing that classic Heroscape verticality, forcing players to think about who controls the heights to gain a tactical advantage in combat.

In addition to the terrain, the pack includes the 'Snow Hunters' content, adding new figures to diversify your armies. It's the perfect blend of medieval fantasy and science fiction, where warriors from different eras fight in a hostile environment. Dice rolling remains the heart of the action, but now with the extra challenge of navigating slippery surfaces and icy peaks. If you want to take your armies out of their comfort zone and test their endurance in extreme cold, this is the ideal upgrade. Prepare your miniatures, plan your mountain climb, and try not to freeze while attempting to annihilate your opponent in one of the series' most iconic terrain expansions.
