To round off Ambush Week, we have put together a short Battle Report using the units you get in the Halfling and Forces Of The Abyss Starter Sets. This shows just how easy it is to get a game in with Ambush and how you can learn the rules in a simple and manageable manner.
The cursed armies of the Ahmunite pharaohs march from the deserts to reclaim their masters’ once-great empires. Rank upon rank of gilded skeletons and revenants march into battle, unheeding of their casualties – for any who fall can simply be raised again to fight for the glory of the pharaohs.
Although rare, the incursions of the Abyss’ armies into the mortal world are a very real threat. These rageful demons will cut a swathe of destruction through any civilised realm, burning everything to ash with their hellfire. These invasions are only ever stopped at great cost to the defenders.
What the goblins lack in strength and bravery, the more than make up for with numbers, ramshackle machinery, and maniacal glee in outnumbering and dragging down their foes. They’d never win in a fair fight, so they never fight fair – making use of every underhanded tactic and advantage they can get their grubby hands on.
Since gaining their independence, the Halfling shires have established a well-trained and well-armed military. These doughty warriors take advantage of every advance their homelands have to offer, from black-powder weaponry, to juvenile aralez cavalry.
Roaming tribes of Ogre mercenaries and Red Goblins will fight for whoever pays the most (although one can always be outbid). Even without such an incentive, these burly warriors will seek the toughest foes, highest bounties, and most valuable loot to re-arm and prepare themselves for the next battle.
The Ogre Ambush set is a great value way to start your Kings of War Journey.
Vicious and cruel, the stinking hordes of the Ratkin lash out at vulnerable and unsuspecting settlements. These once-slaves take to the field with barbed weapons and mutated monstrosities, eager to enact vengeance on the world that rejected them.
