WarCry Tome of Champions 2021 Contents

So you can look forward to:

  • Rules update with Grand Alliance rules and updated Campaign and Artifact rules (reprinted with minor updates from Tome of Champions 2020)
  • Point updates for all warbands
  • Siege rules and a siege scenario for Open Play
  • 4 new branching quests (one for each Grand Alliance), 4 new fated quests (one for each Grand Alliance), and 6 narrative campaigns (one new, the other five are collected from Warhammer Community downloads) for Narrative Play
  • 6 new pitched battles and a new tournament pack with hidden agendas for Matched Play
  • Warbands rules for Lumineth Realmlords, Soulblight Gravelords, Thunderstrike Stormcast, and Kruleboyz (collected from Warhammer Community downloads)
  • “Bladeborn Fighters” – rules for all Warhammer Underworlds warbands fighters (Harrowdeep warbands not included)

Initial verdict

This book has a lot of bang for its buck, as the price tag is rather cheap in comparison to other Games Workshop rules publications (make sure to pick it up before the price rise in March). It’s probably an auto-buy for all WarCry players for the point updates alone, but there is a little bit for everyone: Siege rules, lots of new campaigns, new warband rules for the first time in print, and rules to add Warhammer Underwolds models to your warbands. Thumbs up!
