About the game
The Headsmen’s Curse has come. Nothing shall stay the bite of the dread blade Terminus, for it was fashioned long ago by Nagash himself, and has a vile sentience of its own. Damned souls surround it, bound to serve as judge, jury and executioner. Their former identities are subsumed into the greatsword’s necromantic magic; always there is one to wield the blade, one to sharpen its edge, one to bear the headsman’s block, and a scriptor to sentence the condemned. No matter the crime against the Supreme Necromancer, the sentence is always the same – Death! The Headsmen’s Curse is an aggressive warband, seeking to bring the justice of Nagash to the Wyrdhollow. They'll have to work together to write out the sentence, sharpen the blade, supply the block, and make the killing strike. This set includes a full Rivals deck to use straight out of the box, and the models are all push-fit – so you can get playing in no time. This set includes: 4x push-fit The Headsmen’s Curse miniatures – no glue required to assemble 4x double-sided fighter cards, one for each fighter in the warband – Wielder of the Blade, Bearer of the Block, Scriptor of the Sentence, and Sharpener of the Blade 1x The Headsmen’s Curse Background/Plot card 1x The Headsmen’s Curse Cover/Rivals deck card A 32-card Rivals deck consisting of (12x The Headsmen’s Curse objective cards, 10x The Headsmen’s Curse gambit cards, 10x The Headsmen’s Curse upgrade cards) —description from the publisher
