About the game

What you do in a play session

The Uthuk Y’llan Army expansion adds a fresh demonic menace to Terrinoth, bringing the Locust Horde into Runewars Miniatures Game. The box contains 22 customizable miniatures – four core units (Uthuk Berserks, Flesh Rippers, Spine Threshers) and the dark hero Ravos the Everhungry – plus tokens, terrain pieces, and twelve upgrade cards that expand tactical options. The game still uses Action Points and an Action Queue, letting each player program moves and attacks simultaneously while dice rolls resolve combat and random effects. Variable player powers give each army its own flavor, and a hero with unique abilities opens high‑risk, high‑reward strategies. Playtime ranges from 60 to 120 minutes, perfect for those who enjoy deep tactical duels without endless rulebooks. While assembling the miniatures and learning the upgrade cards takes some time, the visual payoff is worth it, delivering an epic battlefield where demons clash with mortals. Existing Runewars fans will appreciate the added army variety and the horror‑tinged twist to the classic fantasy setting.
