About this expansion

Defenders of the Realm: Minions Expansion – Orcs is an expansion for 1–4 players, with games of Defenders of the Realm lasting about 90 minutes. Released in 2014, it adds sculpted Orc Warriors and Wolf Riders to replace the base game’s generic minion pieces.

The Orc Minions represent large numbers of savage warriors and swift Wolf Riders swarming over the Realm. They are weaker in combat than the Demons, Undead, and Dragon Armies, but their vast numbers can create a quick path to a Dark Lord victory if they are not kept in check.

Alongside the Orc Warriors, the elite Wolf Riders roam the Realm and make movement more difficult for Realm Troops and Heroes. Their presence can disrupt Hero Quests and attack plans, forcing players to account for the obstacles created by these fast-moving minions.

The Orc Minions Pack provides the pieces and rules support needed to use these new forces in Defenders of the Realm. The set includes:

  • 20 Orc Warrior minion pieces
  • 5 Wolf Rider minion pieces
  • Minion Cards describing how the Orc Minions are used

With its distinct Orc Warrior and Wolf Rider sculpts, this expansion replaces generic minions with a themed force that combines overwhelming numbers and disruptive mobility. Defenders of the Realm: Minions Expansion – Orcs gives players another enemy presence to manage as they defend the Realm against the Dark Lord.
