The monsters included wraiths which are useful to add an undead dungeon theme, plus human bandits and a golem boss (model available separately). It remains on my painting list.Ī haunted manor house was a great idea, and the new heroes, a female righteous knight and a witch hunter with a repeater crossbow, are two nice additions. Overall this is a highly sought after expansion, the campaign is highly praised and there is a specific co-op Road to Legend story available too. The new lieutenants are a mix of humanoid and creatures hybrids and include a rat king, and the tiles have a city street style. The monsters are great with changelings, rat swarms, iron guardians and some ynfernal demon models. ![]() Of the heroes Rendiel and Orkell the Swift are particularly interesting, with the others good if not overly spectacular. Shadow Of Nerekhall (5 stars) ( set unpainted)Īnother bigger expansion set in a mysterious city with a new campaign plus four heroes and monster types. Overall this box does not have one of the best campaigns or a Road to Legends story, but does have a strong theme and great models, and represented good value, being a recommended addition. This box has two interesting monster groups in the harpy and flesh worms, and two heroes that are likeable and enjoyable to play, the female loner tracker elf and a prophet dwarf. The Queen Ariad spider boss (an amazing separate lieutenant pack model was available), and a great campaign make it my favourite and probably most important all round expansions, and this box is used in a road to legend app campaign.Ī swamp theme with new disease conditions along with a cool troll boss monster called Bol’Goreth (a separate lieutenant model was available). Tiles and cards are very similar in theme to the core set and so fit really well as direct content expansion. The monsters are also great ones with insectoid volucrix reavers, spiders with crab pincers, snake drakes and goblin witchers. Four new heroes are pretty decent additions, especially Pathfinder Durik and his wolf. ![]() Labyrinth Of Ruin (5 stars) ( set painted)Ī bigger and more costly expansion with a full new campaign and a cool spider boss. There are two co-op campaigns in Road to Legend that use this set, which made it more of a must have expansion. Overall the fiery hot caverns theme and additional tiles are really nice. The themed monsters include fire imps and tough sentinel dragonkins, and a Wyrm features as a large dragon boss (a lieutenant model was available separately, but i am missing that one). Both the heroes are great, a worthy warrior champion and high mage geomancer. This has a fire theme, a dragon monster boss and introduces secret rooms and a mini campaign. Lair Of The Wyrm (4.5 stars) ( set painted) It has so many different playable options. ![]() However by collecting expansions and painting it all up, this game can become as much a hobby as a board game. The rules and campaign are well produced and fun to play, and you really cannot fault this box set as it offers enough replayability for most people without ever needing expansions. The many double sided outside / dungeon tiles are still just about the best i have for a game of this style. The core set comes with 8 excellent and varied heroes with different upgradeable skills, and 9 key monster groups. ![]() The game features many expansions to enhance or change the gameplay with new heroes, monsters, tiles, skills, lieutenants, campaigns and then an app (my own additions highlighted green = own, blue = part owned, red = not purchased). I included some quick thoughts and ratings up to 5 stars, and I like themed dungeons so this may influence my views :Ĭore Set (5 stars) ( monsters painted , heroes painted) It was originally designed to pit an overlord dungeon player against a group of heroes but was later adapted into a co-operative style dungeon crawler as well. Descent 2nd Edition is a definitive all round dungeon style game experience.
