About the game
Description from the publisher: "My purpose is to destroy the daemonic, and if I must rise to command an entire sector to do so, then so be it.” –Torquemada Coteaz It is your duty to safeguard the Imperium and vanquish corruption, and to accomplish this, you must bring the Traxis sector under the Emperor’s protection. The Threat Beyond is the fifth War Pack in the "Warlord" cycle for Warhammer 40,000: Conquest, and it calls you to fulfill this noble goal with a new Inquisitor warlord for the Astra Militarum. This War Pack also continues the major themes of the Warlord cycle, introducing new warlords and new ways to take advantage of their prowess. Sixty new cards, including one warlord, his eight-card signature squad, and three copies each of seventeen distinct cards bolster your forces in this expansion. You must vanquish all enemies of the Emperor in the Traxis sector, but in this war you will face Ork warbands, fearsome Noise Marines, and the might of the Eldar Wraithknights. Choose your faction and battle for the fate of the Traxis sector!
