The preview describes its forty-seven miniatures, six scenarios, different sizes of combat dice and psychic cards, explaining how its mechanics differ from Betrayal at Calth.

Model of the Month: Geigor Fell-Hand

Geigor’s aggressive pose and wolf-claw express a warrior who prefers close combat to his bolter. His background places him among the Einherjar and gives his hatred of the Thousand Sons a personal intensity, making him the physical counterpart to Ahriman in the new boxed game.
