INTRODUCTION

With Auscon II out of the way and no more local events on the horizon Mick and Adam are looking at relaxing end to the gaming year. This doesn’t mean they’ll be sitting around with their feet up drinking coffee all day…oh no. There is a lot of behind the scenes work to be done including adding new products, reviewing prices and generally just making sure the site is working properly to give you the best shopping experience possible.

It won’t be all work and no play however. Both Mick and Adam have been bitten by the Hell Dorado bug! Both are busily building and painting their Westerners and Demon forces respectively. Check out the upcoming issue of Battlescape magazine for a Hell Dorado battle report. With the number of models available to each faction, settling on a 200pt force is tricky. There are just too many cool models that have interesting abilities to make selecting a force a cut and dried choice.

If you have questions remember that you can email us or chat to Adam on MSN Messenger during business hours on messenger ID: sales@warpuppy.com .

Lord of the Rings Living Card Game    

“Yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.” 

-Gandalf, The Return of the King

An ancient evil stirs in the black lands of Mordor, and the people of Middle-earth speak of a terrible doom approaching from the east. The Dark Lord Sauron is gathering his forces, and should he acquire the power he seeks, he will cast the world into eternal shadow. The only hope lies in a heroic few who must work together to stem the tide of evil...

The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game is a cooperative card game that puts 1-2 players (or up to four with two Core Sets!) in control of the most powerful characters and artifacts of Middle-earth. Players will select heroes, gather allies, acquire artifacts, and coordinate their efforts to face Middle-earth’s most dangerous fiends. By cooperating to overcome the obstacles drawn out of the encounter deck, you will complete the quest before you and claim victory!

In The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, players take on the roles of heroes attempting to complete dangerous quests. Instead of directly retelling the classic stories that have previously been narrated, this game provides players with a variety of elements—characters, settings, enemies, events, items, artifacts, scenarios—that allow them to embark upon new adventures and share new experiences with these beloved characters during this ominous period of Middle-earth history.

Unlike most card games in which the players compete against each other, The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game is a cooperative game in which the players work together, competing against a scenario that is run automatically by the game. In each game the players attempt to overcome the particular encounters, enemies, and challenges of the scenario, against which they either win or lose together.

The Core Set includes 226 cards that can be used to assemble a wide variety of decks right out of the box. Included are three perilous quests that, along with countless combinations of settings and enemies, offer near-limitless replayability. Additionally, players can build a party from a set of 12 hero cards, and focus their decks on any combination of four distinct spheres of influence: Leadership, Lore, Spirit, and Tactics. Each sphere offer unique benefits to the party, so choose wisely!

Each of these four spheres of influence has its own distinct flavor and play style, and they present a host of deckbuilding options. Most player cards fall under one of these spheres, represented with a unique icon, as well as with a unique color on its card border, and each hero has an emphasis in one of these four spheres.

While the Core Set contains everything you need to build your deck, gather your friends, and save Middle-earth, you can expand your experience further! As a Living Card Game (LCG), The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game offers a wealth of customization. Monthly 60-card expansions called Adventure Packs will feature brand new quests for the players to experience together. Additionally, these Adventure Packs bring new heroes, allies, attachments, events, and encounters to the table, ensuring unique challenges every time.

Gather your heroes and face the coming darkness!

OUR PICK

Hell Dorado - Saracens

The Sarcens have been in Hell for nearly four centuries now. Driven by their faith and their quest to unlock the secrets of heaven, they are a force to be reckoned with in the field of battle.

The Sarcen boxed set is a great place to start if you are thinking about collecting this faction. Containing 5 miniatures including.... this combination will give you a decent starting 100pt force.

Some of the nicest miniatures in the Hell Dorado range are contained in the Saracen range. The Pillar of Faith is an unmovable Saracen warrior able to mix it with the best the enemy can throw at him. 

Tarik ibn Malik ibn Rushd with his hunting eagle embodies the Arabian look of the Saracen faction. Not to mention his ability to automatically win the game if he kills the enemy commanding officer!

Heavily influenced by Arabian myth the Saracens allow you to field fanatical warriors, stealthy Hashishin and mystical Djinn.
