Warhammer: Invasion – The Skavenblight Threat

About this expansion

Warhammer: Invasion – The Skavenblight Threat is a 2009 expansion pack for the Warhammer LCG, designed for 2 players with a play time of about 30 minutes. It begins the six-pack Corruption Cycle, which highlights the Skaven, Witch Hunters, and the seductive arts of magic.

The vile Skaven bring a dose of warpstone to the conflict. These ratlike parodies of men are vicious fighters whose greatest obstacle may be their constant struggle against one another. This first pack introduces the services of Greyseer Thanquol, Clan Rats, and the awe-inspiring Warp Lightning Cannon to the forces of Destruction.

The pack also expands the forces of Order with the arrival of the Witch Hunters. Marius the Righteous can deal a devastating blow to any corrupted unit, giving Order a powerful new answer to corruption.

• Order tactics: Empire gains Infiltrate, while the Dwarfs receive Stand Your Ground.
• New hero: High Elf hero Tyriel can make an opponent reconsider an attack when that opponent has limited units to send.
• Destruction characters: Dark Elf hero Malus Darkblade lays waste to units too cowardly to face him in battle.
• Chaos magic: Bolt of Change turns a development into a unit, adding firepower or creating a target for destruction in battle.

Each race receives new cards, and both sides gain new allies. With its blend of Skaven treachery, Witch Hunter justice, powerful heroes, and transformative magic, The Skavenblight Threat sets the tone for the Corruption Cycle and broadens the possibilities of Warhammer: Invasion.
