Get your trenches ready, because hell just got a lot more dangerous! Asteros is a single-unit expansion for the Tannhäuser universe that brings nothing less than the legendary Minotaur to the battlefield. Picture this: after centuries locked away in the depths of a labyrinth, this colossal beast has finally broken free and now only desires to wreak absolute havoc on the world above. And the worst part? He doesn't do negotiations; he is pure destructive instinct.
The biggest draw here is the versatility. Since Asteros has no prior allegiances, you can slot him into any faction in your game, completely shifting the match dynamics. But don't think it's a free ride. Being an Epic Hero of immense size and power, he takes up significant space in your army. To field this war machine, you'll have to sacrifice one hero and one regular trooper. It's the classic trade-off: quantity for raw quality.
Inside the box, you'll find the Asteros miniature, which comes pre-painted (a huge relief for those who lack the patience for painting), along with specific tokens, detailed rules, and an exclusive scenario to test the Minotaur's power. If you already enjoy the tactical wargaming feel of Tannhäuser and want to add a piece that truly changes the weight of combat, Asteros is the way to go. He isn't just another soldier; he is a game-changer capable of breaking enemy lines and spreading panic among opposing troops. Do you dare to unchain this beast and see who survives the massacre?

Nope! He is neutral, so you can add him to any faction in your game.
Does he come painted?
Yes, the Minotaur miniature comes pre-painted from the factory.
What do I lose by adding Asteros to my team?
Since he is an Epic Hero, you must remove one hero and one regular trooper to make room for him.
Is this a standalone expansion?
No, you absolutely need the Tannhäuser base game to play.
What else is in the box besides the miniature?
You get the unit rules, tokens, and an exclusive scenario.
