Slaine is the new minis game coming from Warlord Games. In this preview, we get a pretty good look into many different aspects of the game, as well as a preview of a character stat card and how that works. Plus, you can see the new starter set that’s coming, along with its contents and a link to pre-order it.
From the preview:
War rages for possession of Tir Nan Og, not only in the world of mortals, but also among the gods. The followers of Danu the Earth Goddess must protect their lands from the ever-encroaching Sour Magic of the Drunes. Should they fail, the power of the Earth will be corrupted to bring about the arrival of the great worm Crom Cruach, leech of decay, devourer of realities.
There are a number of ways this mystical aspect of battles is represented in the Sláine Miniatures Game. Most prominently are Blood points, which chart the successes of the heroes and villains and allow them to use strange and deadly powers. These powers take the form of two types of cards – Feats and Boons. Feats are individual acts specific to each Champion while Boons are powers of the gods that some characters can bring down upon the battlefield.
