Warcry, the fast-paced skirmish game set in the Mortal Realms, kicks off its new edition with the jam-packed Heart of Ghur boxed set. You’ve always been able to use a wide variety of Warhammer Age of Sigmar miniatures in Warcry, but this week we’re giving away free rules for a vast range of fighters to use in the Gnarlwood, starting with Grand Alliance Order. You’ll get updated fighter cards, revised abilities, and a new Reaction for each warband.
There are many warriors from this Grand Alliance you can use in your games of Warcry, from the Namarti Thralls to the Kharadron Overlords Skywardens. The Thunderstrike Stormcasts are among the most popular, so let’s see how the God-King’s chosen have been updated for the new edition.
Reactions are one of the big incoming changes for Warcry, and the Thunderstrike Stormcasts are getting one of their own – Thunderous Departure.
Use this when one of your fighters is on their last legs to ensure that whoever takes them down suffers the vengeance of Sigmar.
Many fighter profiles have been updated for the new edition – fighters who are especially fast, tough, or lethal have gone up in points. For example, it now costs 30 more points to add the really killy and unyielding Lord-Imperatant* into your warband.
But for the cost of that increase, the Lord-Imperatant has picked up a handy ranged attack – a pretty good trade-off. This points increase is offset elsewhere in the warband – for example, Vindictors are now cheaper, with an extra attack to boot!
The other Grand Alliance Order warbands have all undergone similar changes, and they’ve each earned their own unique Reactions.
You can download these updated rules for free now, with hundreds of fighter cards available – including their relevant Monsters. To ensure you get the best experience from your games, these are large files so we recommend you download them over wi-fi.
These rules will be made available in physical form later in the year in the Warcry Compendium, which will collate updated rules for all four Grand Alliances. In the meantime, start planning your next warband – and join us tomorrow when we’ll release the rules for Grand Alliance Destruction.
