The Elder Scrolls: Call To Arms Introduces Allies & Followers
September 1, 2020 by brennon
Modiphius has opened up pre-orders for two new sets of miniatures which will offer up more options for those delving into tabletop adventures in The Elder Scrolls: Call To Arms. Allies & Followers are teaming up with you to help battle the dangers of Skyrim.
Allies // The Elder Scrolls: Call To Arms
The first of these sets feature a familiar face and also some great miniatures taken from the diverse races within the world of Tamriel. Leading the way for your Allies you have the ever-faithful Lydia from Dragonsreach who will always have your back. You've also got Kharjo, Caravan Guard and then an Orc Barbarian, Khajit Bandit and Breton Ranger.
Whilst you could use these characters as allies in your games, you could also drop them into the mix as your main character instead. I like the idea of mixing things up and playing through their narrative game as a Khajit for example.
As well as the Allies above you can also call on the support of your Followers too. These heroes should be very familiar to those who dived in and explored a lot of Skyrim!
Followers // Elder Scrolls: Call To Arms
This set features all named characters with Jenassa, Mjoll, Marcurio, Derkeethus and Vorstag. All of these characters are ones that you could bump into during your adventures in the video game and now help to add colour to your skirmish games on the tabletop.
PDF characters cards will also be supplied with these miniatures when you snap them up and the proper cards will then be released with the Chapter One Card Pack - Civil War which is coming later down the line.
I think these miniatures are a big improvement over some of the soldiers we saw in the core set for Call To Arms. The poses seem more natural and I like the variety that we're getting here with Khajits, Argonians, Elves and Humans galore.
What do you make of this set?

I’m not looking! I’m not looking!
You can’t help but look…You realise it’s inevitable,the wallet knows what the wallet wants.
The wallet wants to quit
The wallet never quits.
I bet his bank account has another opinion about that 😉
Those are nice.
I remember this game took a LOT of heat when it was released over an abysmal rulebook, fiddly miniature assembly, and generally lackluster gameplay. I hope it improves.
Read a review that the gameplay was good, but the rulebook was poorly organized. Also, the game has coop and solo rules, with monster AI, as well as other knobs and doodads that make it a *little* different from other skirmish games. Thankfully, they don’t follow the FFG model of having to buy the cards with the mini’s, so I’m going to proxy. Picked it up for $27 on sale at MM, though. https://www.gamesradar.com/the-elder-scrolls-call-to-arms-preview/ https://techraptor.net/tabletop/reviews/elder-scrolls-call-to-arms-review > Chapter One Card Pack – Civil War The card pack is $29. IIRC, You’ll be able to get the PDFs free on the Modiphius… Read more »
Wow they are stunning looking figures.
Love the Argonian and the Khajiit.
Needs more sneaky Khajit sneaking ’cause Khajit like to sneak … 😉
