The Warcry: Catacombs core set comes with a rules expansion that not only introduces guidelines for fighting exciting underground battles – it also features brand-new campaigns available to EVERY warband! Let’s take a look at what this entails.
Fated Quests
The Catacombs book includes four universal campaigns, known as fated quests, which have no faction runemark associated with them. All you need to do is choose a faction runemark and a fated quest campaign to play through and you’re good to go! One of the ways fated quests differ from more traditional Warcry campaigns is in the use of territory rules.
The campaign outcomes of fated quests also differ from normal. Should your warband successfully complete a fated quest, you have to make a choice between Honour (earning your leader an exalted command trait) or Glory (an artefact of power), before you claim your reward. Here’s an example of each to whet your appetite.
As mentioned earlier, there are four fated quests to choose from – The Obsidian Tower, The Spawnmaster, The Orb of Secrets and Trail of Destruction – each with its own challenges and opportunities for your warband to win glory and renown.
So, whatever faction your warband hails from, make sure you pre-order your copy of Warcry: Catacombs now, or pick it up in stores this weekend, and prepare for your own fated quest!
