Warcry: Pyre and Flood review - "Another excellent set"

Jump to:Features & designGameplayShould you buy it? Jump to:Features & designGameplayShould you buy it? Sometimes a Games Workshop starter set comes along that’s targeted specifically at you. Friends, that is the case for me with Pyre and Flood, the latest Warcry expansion. As with last year’s aceHunter and Huntedbox, the set once again includes two rival warbands and a standout piece of scenery. Much to my delight, however, the factions this time are the Lumineth Realmlords (my current Age of Sigmar army) and the Nighthaunt (myfirstAge of Sigmar army). I immediately wanted both of these warbands for my collection and it helps that the scenery piece this time, the Idol of the Old Ones - a massive piece of ruined Seraphon iconography - is equally cool. Of course, Games Workshop will want this box to appeal to people outside of the “voraciously collects both Lumineth and Nighthaunt minis” demographic (fine, I suppose…), but I’m happy to report that whether you have a built-in love for these factions or not, Pyre and Flood is another excellent Warcry set. Theseboard games for adultsfeel like they’ve hit a certain rhythm now, providing characterful warbands and scenery while also expanding the story of the current season.

As with Hunter and Hunted, however, it’s important to note up front that this isnota complete game in a box. It’s an expansion set and you will need both the Warcry Core Book and a decent amount of terrain before you can really make use of this set. Terrain is vital for Warcry and you won’t be able to make do with just the Idol. If you need to add more, then the separate Ravaged Lands: Scales of Talaxis set, which is entirely made up of big pieces of terrain, or the larger Heart of Ghur set, which adds more swamp-themed pieces, are both available separately. (Image credit: Will Salmon) You also get all the necessary cards (62 of them, split between 14 fighter cards, 42 battleplan cards, 3 ability cards, and 3 divider cards), and the usual 64-page Warband Tome which explains the lore and lays out the rules for both warbands, as well as laying out a new campaign arc: War of Power Undammed. No, that’s not a typo, it’s a sort of rubbish water pun, as this whole set has a swampy, aquatic theme. Now, let’s take a look at the two Warbands fighting over the waterways… Pyre and Flood: Gameplay (Image credit: Games Workshop / Warhammer) Both of these warbands are strong and pleasingly punchy. The Nighthaunt in particular have an aggressive playstyle, thanks to their special ‘Cremate’ ability. Before we get into those in more detail, however, let’s take a look at the Idol of the Old Ones. In terms of the game, it adds a nice element of chance. Using a triple on the gem on top enables you to fire a Stuttering Beam at opponents - though a roll of 1 causes it to backfire. Alternatively, you can search the Idol for treasure. This time a 1-2 causes damage to your fighter, but a 3-4 can heal 3 damage points to a fighter, while a 5-6 adds one wild dice to your saved wild dice pool. Now, about those warbands… Ydrilan Riverblades (Image credit: Will Salmon) The Riverblades are formed of warriors from the Ydrilan Temples - a water-themed part of the faction that we’ve heard of before, but are getting our first proper glimpse at here. Rapids Rising Leap allows Ydrilan fighters to temporarily fly Rapids Rising Leap allows Ydrilan fighters to temporarily fly Finally, the QuadBoiling Wrathis useful for late game attempts to turn the tables. It enables a fighter to make any combination of move, attack, disengage actions equal to the number of loyal fighters taken down. If things haven’t been going your way, this could be just the thing to give you a fighting chance. Nighthaunt Pyregheists (Image credit: Will Salmon) Nagash is known for holding a grudge and for turning mortal souls into twisted reflections of what they were in life. In the lore, the Pyregheists were alchemists and holy men who sanctified corpses before death, as well as graverobbers (presumably because they just annoy the Great Necromancer). In death their souls have been transformed into burning Pyregheists who “burn forever in the same hellish nightmare.” Never accuse Nagash of not being a petty a-hole… The Pyregheists are slightly unusual in that they don’t have a standard warband Reaction. Instead, they have theBalefire Cremationrule. This works in conjunction with several of the warband’s abilities (namely Pyrerobber’s Curse, Light the Pyre and Agonising Penance). When an enemy model is cremated, a Pyre token is placed on the battlefield. At the end of the round, any enemy model within 1" of one of these tokens takes 3 damage, as their friends go violently up in flames. Cremated enemy fighters go violently up in flames. Cremated enemy fighters go violently up in flames. Should you buy Warcry: Pyre and Flood? (Image credit: Games Workshop / Warhammer) The way the ongoing Gnarlwood narrative is being played out in the included scenery in these boxes is really smart, here giving us a piece of the Seraphon vessel, the Eye of Chotec, which was responsible for altering the landscape in the first place. And it goes without saying that the warbands themselves are great, both in terms of the beautiful miniatures, and in how their rules ably reflect the themes and character of the factions. Overall, it’s a real winner. Buy it if… ✅ You’re looking to expand your Warcry collectionYou get a great piece of terrain and two new warbands.
