After a week where we’ve shared Warcry rules for hundreds of fighters for the Grand Alliances of Order, Destruction, and Death, we’re rounding things out with – yes, you guessed it – the Agents of Chaos.
The forces of Chaos are incredibly diverse, from the mighty Fomoroid Crushers to the swift and deadly Seekers of Slaanesh. To give you an idea of some of the changes these warbands are undergoing, we’re focusing on the Untamed Beasts today.
These hunters of the Jagged Savannah were one of the original Warcry warbands, appearing in the very first starter set for the game’s original launch. Now these savage warriors are heading back home to Ghur, and into its deadly forests. We’ve seen that Reactions are one of the biggest changes for the new edition of Warcry, and all the older warbands are joining in on the fun.
Use Brute Resilience when you need to keep your best fighters in the fray, ready to strike back at the impudence of anyone that would dare to lay a finger on them.
The new edition of Warcry updates many existing fighter profiles – the team behind the game has carefully tweaked them to ensure all of the existing warbands are balanced for use against the new ones. For example, the Heart-eater, the horn-helmed leader of the Untamed Beasts, has gone up by 20 points.*
In exchange, he gets extra Strength and an extra attack – all the better for hunting down the wild beasts of Ghur. You can claw back those 20 points on your Beastspeaker, who’s not only gone down in cost, and whose flailing whip now causes even more damage on a critical hit.
All of the original Warcry Chaos warbands have undergone similar changes, as have their Monsters, Allies, Thralls, and all the other Agents of Chaos, such as the Skaven and Maggotkin of Nurgle. You can download these updated rules for free right now. To ensure you get the best experience from your games, these are large files so we recommend you download them over wi-fi.
