## Description
If you're already a fan of the Zombicide chaos, get ready to crank up the carnage with the Warlords of the Rising Sun expansion. We're moving away from the standard urban settings and diving deep into Japanese history, bringing legendary figures into the fight against the undead. This isn't just another character pack; it's your chance to lead iconic warriors who completely shift the combat dynamics on the board.

The highlight of this pack is the addition of 8 new Survivors, each boasting unique abilities that allow you to build much more varied and strategic teams. But the excitement doesn't stop there: the expansion introduces a Necromancer, that kind of villain who loves making the players' lives miserable, adding an extra layer of challenge and danger to every session. If you enjoy the pressure of being surrounded by zombies while coordinating every move with your friends, this content is a must-have.

Keep in mind that this is a Kickstarter Exclusive item, making it a true gem for collectors. Along with the highly detailed miniatures, you get the Survivor ID cards, Necromancer cards, and a rules leaflet to integrate everything smoothly. It's the perfect blend of brutal tactical combat and the epic aesthetic of feudal Japan. If you're looking to expand your roster of heroes and face more sinister threats, the Warlords are ready for battle. Just remember to plan your attacks carefully, because with a Necromancer in play, death is only the beginning of the problem!
