Cthulhu Wars: Hound of Tindalos

About this expansion

Cthulhu Wars: Hound of Tindalos is a limited gameplay-exclusive expansion for 2–8 players, with a listed play time of 90 minutes and a 2016 release year.

Originally offered as an add-on during Richard Luong’s art book Kickstarter, this single-print-run expansion features an 80 mm Hound of Tindalos miniature and a monster loyalty card designed by Sandy Petersen. The sculpt, created in collaboration with Jo Brumby of Fenris Games, shows the Hound emerging from a 90-degree angle.

To acquire the Hound’s loyalty card, pay 2 Doom and 2 Power. Once acquired, place the Hound at one of your controlled gates. Summoning it costs 4 Power, while its Combat value is 4.

• Movement: Move one unit at its normal movement cost, then teleport the Hound for a cost of 0 to any gate of its choice.
• Special: The Hound cannot be killed unless it is pained into an area without a gate, or the gate in its current area is removed by a faction ability and/or spell book.

Its unusual movement makes the Hound of Tindalos a distinctive addition to Cthulhu Wars, combining gate-based positioning with a free teleport after moving one unit. Its special rule also gives it a highly specific vulnerability, tied directly to areas without gates and the removal of its current gate.

With its exclusive origins, distinctive miniature, and dedicated loyalty card, Cthulhu Wars: Hound of Tindalos is also presented as a highly limited collector’s item.
