About the game
The Ossiarch agent Thanatek seeks ‘truebone’ – osseous matter imbued with unusual purity. To aid his search, the Emissarian has assembled an efficient band of corpse-reapers. The sword-wielding assassins Tukhar and Sekhmor eviscerate promising targets, while the Mornial caste retainers known as Xar-Tamok and Medeb-Ahk gather truebone-rich remains and soul-stuff in the caskets that protrude from their skeletal torsos. This multipart plastic kit builds Thanatek's Tithe – a complete warband for use in games of Warhammer Underworlds. It comes with fighter cards and warscroll cards for the warband. This set contains 5 plastic miniatures: 1x Thanatek 1x Tukhar 1x Sekhmor 1x Xar-Tamok 1x Medeb-Ahk This set also includes: 5x double-sided fighter cards 7x warscroll cards (in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese)
