By David “DC” CarlImmortal Tales parallels the Heroes and Legends expansion by bringing HORDES High

Command players a host of new character options for Trollbloods, Circle Orboros, Skorne, and Legion of Everblight decks. As with the warcasters in Heroes and Legends, the new warlock

cards in Immortal Tales are more expensive and more powerful incarnations of characters already present in High Command. In addition to figuring out the right number of character cards to use in a reinforcement deck, players will also need to decide if these more-powerful warlocks justify their

higher costs alongside the other cards players have chosen. Each faction gains a new warlock card along with five copies each of four new army cards players can use to customize their detachments.

These colored pips represent the maximum number of times a card can appear in a particular detachment.

trollbloodsEfficiency, control, and a warlock oozing with raw power—Immortal Tales has something for everyone when it comes to the Trollbloods. The character Fell Callers, known as the

Sons of Bragg, are worth a special mention even in such elite company, however. Like a double dose of Kriel Fell Callers, they’ll reduce nearly any rush cost down to the card’s purchase cost.

CirCle orborosThe Circle’s new warrior cards pack quite a punch for their resource costs, but it’s the Circle’s warbeasts that really lead the way in this expansion. Megalith slows down opponents

at the battlefield of your choice while Ghetorix punishes opponents for his destruction more than any previous card in High Command.

skorneImmortal Tales cranks up Skorne’s impressive survivability even further with Tiberion and Hakaar the Destroyer, cards your opponents will be hard-pressed to remove from a

location. Molik Karn is an impressive combatant with 2 VPs, but just as important, he introduces a new deck archetype, one that leans on warbeasts nearly to the exclusion of Skorne warrior cards.

legion of everblightMany Legion of Everblight players will be immediately drawn to Proteus, a new Blight Gift warbeast with 3 Power and a rush cost of just 6 WAR. Typhon and the Blackfrost

Shard are not to be overlooked, though. Both of these cards bring unparalleled survivability under the right battlefield circumstances, and they combo beautifully with cards that have Superior Range.
