The Penultimate Unit Card!
Well, here it is, number 36 of 37. Very soon that will be all the unit cards done!
The rules have been done for quite some time, but the art has taken longer 🙂
This one is the Wyrm Fury Crystal, from the unaligned faction. A collection of models that can be used by any core faction strike team to supplement their force.
All the crystals are an interesting option for players who want something a little different. They are immobile so choose their initial deployment well. They grant an action to every other member of the strike team and generally have an aura of effect that can grow throughout the game if their charge criteria are fulfilled (in this case killing enemy models with the “Coven” keyword).
The Beserker’s Fury action granted by the Wyrm Fury Crystal is a risky tactic. It can allow your models to deal a lot of extra damage, but they are quite likely to get killed from the damage they take themselves in the process.
Please let me know your thoughts on either rules, art or anything else!

So I couldn’t figure out how to post images in the comments below, but to respond to @oriskany and help give an idea about the size of these cards, here is a picture of me holding some. They are roughly a little smaller than A6, and double-sided.

The minis look amazing! If you’re looking for impressions on the unit card – and bear with me as I don’t know how large these cards are, but is the print a little small? If those are true “card” size it would be tough for tired old eye like mine to read them.
Thanks! Yeah it was really tricky to kind of do all the things I wanted which were.. – Have every unit have enough unique mechanical flavour that they felt characterful and more than just “soldier 23” on the tabletop. – Have the rules be clear and well explained enough on the card, so that no thumbing through the rulebook was required. Anything that is unique about a model, has to be on the card. – The card should have nice artwork, easy to read symbols and structure, and be legible. So the compromise I had to go for was bigger… Read more »
Ok managed to put the picture in the main post! The lore text in the top right is quite hard to read, but you don’t need that mid-battle to be able to play, and all the cards are printed much larger in the rulebook, so you can read the lore at your leisure there 🙂
