About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're a fan of the Warhammer 40,000 universe and have enjoyed 'Heroes of Black Reach', get ready for more action! This expansion, 'Orks Reinforcements', throws you right into the brutal battles around the walls of Gospora Hive, where the fearsome Zanzag attempts a daring escape. Check out what's in store: new characters like the Goff Warboss Zanzag, Painboy Grimsnagga and his Grot Orderlies, and the Big Mek Kagbozak. To round out the green tide, we have brand-new squads: Goff Boyz, Blood Axe Kommandos, Goff Runtherdz with Gretchins, Bad Moon Lootas, Goff Meganobz, and Evil Sunz Tankbustas. And it doesn't stop there! Prepare to see units and vehicles like the Battlewagon, Trukk, Warbuggy, Mek Gunz, Gorkanaut, Morkanaut, and Killa Kan on the field. The game also brings a ton of customization options for weapons, equipment, and units, plus command tokens for the Orks. Oh, and there's more: new rules on separate sheets and a campaign with 4 scenarios to extend your fun even further. It's a feast for those who want to expand the battlefield and add more Orks to the fray!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game 'Warhammer 40,000: Heroes of Black Reach' to play this expansion?
Yes, absolutely! This is an expansion, so you'll need the base game to use all the new content.
How many players can participate?
Just like the base game, this expansion is designed for 2 players. Perfect for an epic duel!
How long does a game take?
The time can vary quite a bit depending on the scenarios and your pace, but it generally falls between 30 to 120 minutes. If you play the campaign, it might take longer.
What does this expansion add to the game?
It brings new characters, Ork squads, vehicles, customization options, new rules, and a 4-scenario campaign focused on the battles of Gospora Hive.
Is it much harder than the base game?
The complexity increases a bit with the number of new units and options, but the core 'Action Queue' mechanic remains. The campaign might present greater challenges.
Is it worth buying if I prefer playing Space Marines?
If you enjoy playing with the Orks or want more variety of enemies to face your Space Marines, it's definitely worth it. If your focus is solely on the Marines, it might not be essential.
