🎲 Rules and Essential Accessories
Beyond the plastic, the box serves as your comprehensive gateway to the hobby, featuring:
-
A massive 352-page updated hardcover Rulebook, including revised rules and the new "Battle March" fast-play game mode.
-
A 16-page Core Set Muster Lists booklet.
-
A double-sided folding playmat and reference sheets.
-
20 dice (including artillery and scatter dice), templates, a range ruler, and a massive transfer sheet with 753 decals.
Unit Highlights: Who to Watch Out For
To give you a taste of how these armies play on the tabletop, here are a couple of standout units included in the box that are bound to make a massive impact in your first games:
1. The Cathayan Grand Cannon
Grand Cathay wins its battles through defensive synergy and devastating firepower. The Grand Cannon is a masterclass in long-range pressure. Backed up by a literal Ogre loader to keep the heavy blackpowder munitions flowing, it forces your opponent to leave their defensive positions and march right into your prepared firing lanes.
2. Chaos Knights
If Cathay represents unwavering discipline, the Chaos Knights represent unstoppable force. Clad in thick, dark iron and riding heavily armored barded steeds, these monstrous cavalrymen are armed with massive lances designed to shatter enemy shield walls upon impact. If they successfully pull off a charge into the flank of a unit, the combat phase is going to turn into a total route.
