“Fantasy Flight is pleased to offer you a closer look at the Latari’s Deepwood Archers Unit Expansion for Runewars Miniatures Game!
The Deepwood Archers Unit Expansion includes five upgrade cards, six tokens, and eight unpainted miniatures that allow players to don their archers in the colors of any of the many Latari factions.”
The Upgrades
Hunter’s Guile says when your unit is preforming a melee or ranged attack, you can replace one of your dice with a white die if you are at range 1 up to the X (number of natural energy rune tokens on the battlefield) of a piece of overgrown terrain. That can vary as the magic phase randomizes how many and what type of magical energy runes are on the board. On the plus side, not only do you get to use the white die (which can upgrade your attack) the archers also get Overgrow 1.
During setup, units with the Overgrow keyword allow you to place overgrowth tokens on terrain pieces around the map. With this upgrade, the unit gains that ensuring they will have a much better shot at getting that dice boost!
The Pathwalker’s Amulet is another card that the Archers might find valuable. While the elves prefer the safety of ranged combat, the enemies of the Deepwood might prefer an up-close and personal fight. This upgrade gives the unit gains the Protected keyword while defending vs a single attack. That might be just the thing that pulls their bacon out of the fire!
The Deepwood Archers Unit Expansion is bringing even more to the tabletop later this year. They are scheduled for release in Q4 of 2017!
Deepwood Archers Unit Expansion $24.95
