Betrayal At Calth Week: DAY 1: Unboxing the Heresy
Betrayal at Calth is here – it’s time to take a look at the box and all the basics:
Welcome to Betrayal At Calth Week here on BoLS! Over the next few days we will be going over every aspect of the new game, from the rules to to the minis, to the game itself and everything in between. Check in every day for everything you wanted to know about the biggest product may produce this year.
Today we wade into the box itself, and the a general overview of the game components. Let’s get started!
Special note: These are all high resolution images, click to see all the details.
First of the the box itself. You can see the box front up above and the back right here.
Next we see one of the 8 hex-based board sides, you use to build the game missions.
Now we see the cover of the softcover 50 page rulebook, done in exactly the same visual design as the fancy leatherbound Forgeworld Horus Heresy books. Nice job there.
Next I know you are dying to get a taste of the minis within. Here is a long shot of just the 30 Mk.IV Maximus marines, and a sample page of the thick and detailed assembly guide for all of the minis within.
That is LOT of bits – click to zoom in – this image is quite large.
Next we get a look at a couple of the miscellaneous components.
1 dozen custom dice with hit, critical & defend, and miss sides.
