Description from the publisher: “Your shrines will burn, your streets run with blood, your false idols shattered, your people slaughtered by the thousands, your very planet torn apart… and the barest fraction of my hatred will be satisfied.” –Ba’ar Zul the Hate-Bound The legions of Chaos pour forth from the Kaerux Erameas in Boundless Hate, the second War Pack in the Planetfall cycle for Warhammer 40,000: Conquest! As part of the Planetfall cycle, this War Pack gives new meaning to the type symbols on each planet. Your armies will fight harder than you thought possible when you battle on a planet with symbols that align with your faction’s goals. Of course, in addition to a new focus on the planets of the Traxis sector, this expansion offers new cards to swell every faction’s armies, including the Tyranids faction introduced in The Great Devourer. A new Chaos warlord invites you to fight for the glory of Khorne, while a Dark Eldar archon warlord allows you to capture slaves from key planets. Spread war across the Traxis sector with the Boundless Hate War Pack!
