Defend the barony of Carthridge with the Baron Zachareth Hero Expansion for Runewars Miniatures Game! Ever since he first assumed power in suspicious circumstances, Baron Zachareth has been a devisive figure- some call him a hero, others a warmonger. But there are few who would deny that his skill with the blade and knowledge of runes and the arcane are unparralleled. With the ability to inspire his allies and intimidate, the Baron of Carthridge will defend Terrinoth no matter if the victories are bought with honor or with blood.
The Baron Zachareth Hero Expansion provides two unpainted figures, one command tool, six upgrade cards, two condition cards, a new objective and terrain card, as well as a collection of tokens including the new vitality token.
The Baron has a mysterious connection to the arcane. While his allies might be suspicious of his power, he does offer insights and knowledge of the insidious threats lurking beyond his barony’s boarders. So represent this on the tabletop the Baron brings a few new mechanics along for the ride.
First, he has new Vitality Tokens which can be placed on up to three allies after setup. When a unit with one would suffer one or more wounds, they may use the token to reduce the wounds suffered by one. This is quite powerful on the right unit!
Next, the Baron also has two new condition cards. Is he the Savior of his people? If so, then he can grant a rally action. He can also grant a Vitality Token to an ally but takes a stun token in exchange. Or is he the Betrayer of his lands by stealing the strength of those around him?

Witht his duality, Lord Vorun’thul is the first Runewars Miniatures Game character to transform mid-battle, alternating between his humanoid form, and the terrifying Vorun’thul the Cursed.
This means that Lord Vorun’thul enters battles with two different unit cards and will swap between both figures and unit cards as the battle progresses, always using the same command dial. Lord Vorun’thul is versatile and fearsome, and your opponents will never know what to expect from the once-honorable knight!
Vorun’thul has two forms that he can swap between in battle. One form is the former Knight of the Realm, and while he may have a more ghoulish appearance, he still maintains his martial discipline. However, he has the option to give in to his hunger and transform into Vorun’thul the Cursed – a terrifying beast of nightmares! This transformation does grant him some extra maneuverability. If you time it right, you can surprise your opponent and leap into combat with them. Conversely, you can also change back and get out of a combat you do not want to partake in.
