As the dead centre of Archaon’s Chaos realms, the Eightpoints is a grim and grisly place of constant war and no small amount of crying. All this is encapsulated in Warcry, the fast, thrilling game of skirmish combat between gangs of eccentric ne'er-do-wells. Last month, we started hearing whispers of a daemonic menace lurking in the war-torn wastes. As the ominous-sounding Red Harvest approaches, there’s a new horror in town.
Meet the Broodmaster.
Frankly, you wouldn’t want to meet him on a dark night on your own. You may have spotted a few clues to the Broodmaster’s identity in the video, but who is the Eightfold Watcher? And what are they watching? Our mandibles are sealed for now, but let’s take a closer look at this creepy new fighter.
We count six limbs there, four of them holding a rather gnarly sword, which means he’s probably quite dextrous or constantly nicking himself in battle. Either way, you just know he gives the best hugs.
And your eyes are not deceiving you – that really is the severed head of a giant Chaos-warped spider he’s using as a mask.
We’d love to tell you more about this odd fella, but we’re sworn to secrecy – and who’s gonna stand up to a man with that many sword prongs? Our agents are crawling their way through Eightpoints on the hunt for more clues about Warcry: Red Harvest. We will be bringing you the full scoop on what’s on the way for Warcry later this month, including more on the Broodmaster, the rest of his Brood, and who they’ll be battling, so keep checking in on the Warhammer Community website.
