QuoteOne town has already fallen, and another is under siege by Chaos. As their allies fall around them and their options dwindle, can a lone knight and an imprisoned bright wizard overcome the forces destroying their way of life?

Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the upcoming fourth Battle Pack in the The Enemy Cycle! Redemption of a Mage is the latest in a linked expansion series for Warhammer: Invasion, a card game of intense warfare, clever kingdom management, and epic questing. This 60 card pack contains 20 different never-before seen cards designed to augment existing decks and add variety to the Warhammer: Invasion metagame.

In this exciting continuation of The Enemy Cycle, the Dwarfs build their mastery of powerful Runes while the Empire expands their synergy with the Mage and Knight keywords. For Chaos, father Nurgle's arsenal of diseases grows, while the Dark Elves practice their hexes and the Orcs smash everything in sight.

This, along with exciting options for the High Elves and new three-way neutral alliance cards, Redemption of a Mage is an invaluable enhancement for any Warhammer: Invasion deck.

Ok so you said you cant decide if that goblin hero is nails or not?

You have him out with squigs and that savage boyz card.

You use resources on the Savage boyz to damage your squigs (they're the ones who get better when damaged?)  making them double hard and your gobo hero double hard.

He's nails.

Actually these guys are in the new LM/VC expansion..

This one however is going to be in the pack, quite a good one for Chaos me thinks

QuoteThis week, we'll continue of tour of this exciting pack by turning our attention toward the forces of Chaos. Stone to Skin is a low-cost tactic that lets you transform a target building into a unit for one turn! Like Bolt of Change, this tactic allows you to raise a "meat shield" when you need it most.

The possibilities here are vast. As mentioned above, when you need a quick unit for defensive purposes, Stone to Skin provides one with a whopping four hit points. On the other hand, you could always target an opponent's building as well, and when coupled with a "sniping" card like Flames of Tzeentch or Cloying Quagmire, Stone to Skin provides Chaos with a handy way to dispose of pesky enemy buildings.

This set looks better and better:

QuoteFrom a thematic standpoint, Bright Wizards are a particularly dangerous group of magic users. Their explosive attacks are almost as likely to hurt themselves and their allies as they are to damage their enemies (the self-destructive Thyrus Gorman being a great example).

Enter Friedrich Hemmler, another Bright Wizard hero whose destructive attacks inflict damage on every unit involved in the battle. With a whopping five power icons, Friedrich is among the most powerful Empire units ever, making him a powerhouse in any zone. And since he deals one damage to all attacking and defending units, he's the bane of low-cost attackers like Crooked Teef Goblins and Spider Riders.

Good and Bad... he has the potential to mess up though as I assume that damage is assigned before everything else?...

I.e you defend with 3 Squigs and suddenly he's dead.

Can also see undead having a field day with him.... Wight king kills him off... raise him from the dead... etc etc

He'd be amazing alongside lizardmen, activating their savage and suchlike

Well thats just broken....

Because if im looking at it correctly you could use the savage rule twice in the same battlefield phase.

Fire mage dude does a point of damage... you do a point of damage with savage.  You then defend... get assigned damage.. do a point with savage.

Also... isnt the savage rule the best way to deal with the indirect damage dragons?.... you assign some on your savage units and do damage back to the dragon.

Not sure I understand your case their mate, the first damage would be from his power before any others, so any 1 hit point units that weer defending would be dead before they could allocate any CC  damage...

Oh yes............... :cool3:
