Cthulhu Wars: Daemon Sultan

About this expansion

Cthulhu Wars: Daemon Sultan is a faction box for 2–5 players, with games lasting about 120 minutes. Released in 2023, it introduces a uniquely challenging faction that begins with no units on the map.

The Daemon Sultan is unlike any other faction because it commands three Great Old Ones: Thesis, Antithesis, and Synthesis. Each serves as an avatar of the Daemon Sultan, and each is distinct while remaining inextricably linked through interlocking costs, abilities, and Spellbooks.

Every Great Old One also has a Larval Form. These six Monsters have Combat 2 while their parent Great Old One is in play, but Combat 0 otherwise. They are also required to awaken their parent, making the relationship between the faction’s units central to its play.

• 3 Great Old Ones: Thesis, Antithesis, and Synthesis
• 6 Great Old Ones Larvae
• 3 Chaos Gates, a high priest, and a dark demon
• 6 acolytes, 4 brain cylinder miniatures, and 4 brain cylinder tokens

Only Cultists of the insane Daemon Sultan faction may control these terrifying constructs. They can displace and destroy ordinary Gates, giving the faction a distinctive way to affect the battlefield.

All Daemon Sultan Spellbooks are usable once per full Action Phase, following the model of the core game’s Thousand Forms Spellbook. With no units in play at the start, every decision matters as you orchestrate the best use of your avatars, Larval Forms, abilities, and Spellbooks. Cthulhu Wars: Daemon Sultan rewards careful timing and coordination among its linked powers.
