Warhammer Invasion Goes Legendary
July 19, 2011 by brennon
Warhammer Invasion was the astounding deck-building game by Fantasy Flight Games released in 2009 which over the past two years, has gone from strength to strength. What started out with a one box game has spawned four 'cycles' filled with cards and two huge expansion boxes, which evolved and added to the races of the Warhammer world.
The first expansion, Assault on Ulthuan added to the allied High and Dark Elves, which you got through the main boxed game. The second, March of the Damned unleashed the powerful Lizardmen and Vampire Counts as allies of both the side of Order or Destruction.
Now with many races added (like Skaven and Wood Elves during the latest Cycles), Fantasy Flight have decided to add in a few more of those Heroes to the card game with their coming expansion, Warhammer Invasion: Legends.
The Legends expansion adds a wealth of new cards to the mix, but the major part is of course the inclusion of massive figures within the world of Warhammer. The Emperor himself Karl Franz can now be part of your deck as well as such figures as Azhag the Slaughterer, Malekith and Archaon each with their own powers bent on laying waste to your foes.
The newest expansion is set to change a lot in terms of the game and is set to give another layer of strategy to the already deep game Fantasy Flight have created and its sure to make ever more impressive games at tournament level and just for fun!
So do any of you guys play Warhammer Invasion?
What races do you enjoy and do you think this new Legends Expansion is going to be worth it?

Welcome Brennon, this happens to be the first article I’ve read written by you. I thought it was good, though I might be a little biased.
Cheers @reganspor – much appreciated 🙂
Welcome @brennon ! Nice to see you’re part of the team ! I’ve always thought you had loads of interesting things to write about, and I look forward to reading them…

I thought Legends released some time ago. Maybe I just have a copy that fell into some sort of wormhole. It happens. I play Warhammer Invasion and enjoy it quite a bit. I prefer it to most of the other card games out there. I bought the Lord of the Rings LCG as well, but didn’t really get in to it. overall though, I think the whole LCG idea is a great one. I love walking in to my FLGS and paying my fifteen dollars for the exact same sixty cards everyone else is getting. It beats getting smacked around… Read more »
must finally get my hands on to this whole game …but …geeez were to get all the money from , Warhammer40K, Magic the Gathering and now Invasions is to much for my little account 🙁
You really only need the Core Set and the Assault on Ulthuan to give you an entire six races too choose from:-
Order – Dwarfs, Empire, High Elves
Destruction – Orcs & Goblins, Chaos, Dark Elves.
Gives you a fair amount of cards too and very little in the way of puzzling deck building – at least as a beginner into it.
thanks ^^ Ill have a look into it .
thanks ^^ will have a look !
I have played warhammer invasion before and it it is very enjoyable. It borrows much from magic the gathering without feeling like a rip off, its more a sense of familiarity. I am shocked the lcg format isn’t catching on like wildfire, it’s the best of both worlds to me (expandability and no random packs). Bottom line: Warhammer Invasion is a great game! It’s probably the best thing GW has their logo printed on, and I do not care for gw at all. I am, however, on there verge of becoming a Fantasy Flight fanboy. It seems everything they touch… Read more »
i only own the core set (with every intention of expanding) and i think its a fantastic game, as are most of FF games. but their take on the world of warhammer is awesome, and the artwork cant be better than GW material at times. big thumbs up from me! and great to see it on BoW, cheers brennon, how`d you land a place on the team you lucky blighter!?
@madprof666 nagging them 😉
and to anyone who enjoys this, im still very must in love with FF lord of the rings card game. the fact you can play it solo and at the same high quality as this game is just simply the BEST thing ever for me
That sounds actually awesome.
Love all the cover art. . .
