## Description
Get ready for the arrival of the Sons of Ragnarok, an outlaw biker gang with a penchant for Norse mythology and a total aversion to following orders. They almost became acolytes of sin, but their rejection of authority meant any recruitment attempt ended badly for the servants of evil. These rebels, obsessed with Ragnarok (the end of the world, as they like to call it), enter a battle frenzy, but they would never join FAITH. However, that doesn't stop them from fighting the 'Others' on their own terms! This expansion brings a full team of 7 heroes, including a Leader, 2 Fixers, 2 Snipers, and 2 Bruisers. Although they operate outside the FAITH structure, they can be mixed with any existing team, following the same basic rules but with special synergy among themselves. The expansion also introduces a modular board that ensures each game is a new experience, and dice rolling adds that touch of unpredictability we love (or hate!). With variable player powers, each hero has their unique way of causing chaos. If you enjoy combat games with a touch of horror and a dash of Viking mythology, the Sons of Ragnarok will get your heart racing. Just be prepared for the language dependency, as translation is essential to dive into this story!
