About the game
Add a new, powerful character to your Sword & Sorcery campaign! The world of Sword & Sorcery always needs new heroes! With this Hero Pack, you now have the possibility to introduce a new, powerful character into your campaign. Among the many races that live close to the Talon Coast, none can match the spiritual strength, resilience, and stubbornness of a dwarf. Out of all his brothers, Skeld became a legend thanks to his savage spirit, always ready to face the hardest battles, headless of the dangers. Skeld can be played as either a Slayer or a Berserker. As a Slayer, Skeld lives to hunt down and slay the most dangerous opponents he can fight; retreat is not an option, and “fight to the end” is the only rule of battle for this fierce dwarf fighter. As a Berserker, Skeld must constantly battle his blood rage that drives him into the battle, where he fights with utter ferocity. The sight of his own blood serves to fuel his frenzy and increase the strength of his attacks. This Hero Pack features two miniatures of Skeld (normal and Ghost Soul form), his Soul Gem, and new cards — including three new items, the sharp Tomahawk, the mighty Golden Axe and the legendary Furioso.
