You get a rock! You get a rock! Aaaaand you get a rock! We know. We said we'd revealed all the units coming to Essen SPIEL. Eight Kazyr units, plenty of new rules, lots of fire. Surely that was enough? Well, apparently not. Because we have one more thing to show you. And this time, it has absolutely nothing to do with fire. The Chosen of the Spirit Tree are getting reinforcements, too. Meet the Stoneshapers, a brand-new three-model unit of Aiyani joining Shroudfall at Essen S

Creating a key art piece for Shroudfall is about more than bringing two armies together on a canvas. Finding the right setting, composition and atmosphere takes time. How do you capture the relentless advance of the Bloodthorne and the fiery determination of the Kazyr in a single image? Every detail matters, from the positioning of individual warriors to the colours and lighting that bring the battle to life. It's a process of exploring ideas, refining details and finding tha

Shroudwardens! The last few weeks have been busy. If you follow our blog, you’ve probably noticed the ungodly number of posts we’ve been publishing lately. Who has the time to read all that?! But fear not! I’m here to save you some scrolling and bring you up to speed on all the important stuff. Whether you’re planning to pick up the Kazyr soon or are heading to Essen SPIEL this week, here’s everything you need to know.

Some warriors bring the fire. Others make sure it never goes out. Our Kazyr Rules Focus series continues! With Prince Kaelith, the Flareborn Reavers and the Emberwrought Warden introduced, it's time to meet the fourth additional unit joining the faction alongside the Kazyr Skirmish Pack. Meet the Flamekeeper. While other Kazyr warriors charge into battle or hold the line against overwhelming odds, the Flamekeeper has a different job: keeping the Cinders burning and making sur

Our Kazyr Rules Focus series continues with the second Emberwrought unit. Meet the Emberwrought Warden. Where the Emberwrought Tyrant is all about delivering devastating attacks, the Warden takes a different approach. This towering construct is designed to protect its fellow warriors, absorb incoming attacks and make life considerably more difficult for enemies trying to break through your lines. But don't mistake its defensive role for a lack of offensive potential. Armed

After introducing the second Kazyr Essence Weaver, it's now time to take a look at the additional units joining the faction with its first wave of releases. And we're starting with the Flareborn Reavers.

The Kazyr Skirmish Pack lineup is complete, but we're far from finished! Four additional units are joining the faction for its initial release, and over the coming days, we'll take a closer look at each of them in our Rules Focus series. And we're starting with royalty.

Why fight on your opponent's terms when you can set the battlefield on fire? The Kazyr Rules Focus series continues with the character unit included in the Kazyr Skirmish Pack: Serelleth, the Ember Matriarch.

Our look at the upcoming Kazyr army continues with another model included in the Kazyr Skirmish Pack: the Emberwrought Tyrant. Where the Flareborn Skirmishers rely on speed and positioning, the Tyrant takes a somewhat more straightforward approach. It is a hulking fire elemental encased in armour, carrying an enormous Embersteel Sword and generally solving problems by hitting them very, very hard.

Our look at the upcoming Kazyr army continues with one of the units included in the Kazyr Skirmish Pack: the Flareborn Skirmishers. These elite warriors are exactly what their name suggests. They are skirmishers built around speed, positioning and choosing their fights. With several ways to move both during and outside their activation, they can quickly contest important parts of the battlefield, harass enemy models and be surprisingly difficult to pin down.

The Kazyr are approaching! Leading up to their release at Essen SPIEL, we’ll take a closer look at some of their rules and how they will impact the world of Shroudfall. In our first Kazyr Rules Focus, we’re taking a closer look at Zyrena, the Cinderforged Champion.

When we started working on the fifth Shroudfall faction, we knew one thing very early: We wanted fire. That sounds simple enough. Fire has been part of fantasy games forever. Fireballs, burning swords, flaming monsters ... you don't exactly have to explain to someone what a fire faction is supposed to do. And that was precisely the problem.

Last year, we arrived at Essen SPIEL with something we had been working towards for a long time: Shroudfall was there, people were playing games, and the crowds were growing. We had our factions, our Skirmish Packs, our terrain, our rulebooks… but as the weekend went on, we realized that something was missing.

“So… which one of you brought the dragon?” Most battles in Shroudfall are fought between two armies. But sometimes, there is a dragon. Deep within the forgotten reaches of Astira, a magnificent Crystal Dragon guards its hoard. Two rival armies have entered its domain with the same prize in mind, but getting to it means dealing with both the enemy across the battlefield and the enormous creature standing between them. With the new Dreaded Dragon’s Domain scenario element, one

For most people in Astira, the Ashen Crown is not a welcoming place. Smoking mountains, obsidian plains and rivers of basalt shape a land that never seems to stand still. For the Kazyr, it is home. Zyrena, the Cinderforged Champion, leads the Kazyr from the front, carrying the fire of Veyr-Ashaal into battle. I wonder what her Leadership might be? They call it Veyr-Ashaal, the Crown That Breathes. Generations of life among fire and Essence have shaped their culture around one

Five models. Zero successful clinical trials. Not every experiment can be a success. For every towering monstrosity, perfectly engineered killing machine or alchemical breakthrough produced by the Umbral Veil, there are inevitably a few... less successful outcomes. Enter the Failed Experiments, the first five-model unit to join the Umbral Veil. The Failed Experiments are the unfortunate remnants of attempts to create something greater: humans whose bodies proved too weak, who

Across Astira, Essence rarely remains unclaimed for long. Whether bursting from the earth in rich crystalline deposits or developing a rather troublesome will of its own, where Essence gathers, conflict soon follows. Scenarios are at the heart of every Shroudfall battle, and we think the objectives you fight over deserve to look the part! Our newest scenario models bring the scenarios Monumental Mine Mountain and Apparition Ambush Adventure to life on your battlefield. Monume

Hi guys, Daniel here. If you've played against my Umbral Veil before, you've probably noticed a pattern. I usually don't try to table my opponent. Instead, I play a very aggressive scenario game, forcing awkward decisions, contesting objectives early, and trying to close the game by round three. If the game goes long, the battle of attrition usually swings against me. So naturally, I decided to ignore all of that. More information about the Spielefest: https://spielefest.wien

The Bloodthorne does not wage war like the armies of Astira. It does not march for glory, conquest, or revenge. It does not build fortresses or forge weapons. The forest simply spreads, slowly and endlessly, reclaiming everything that stands in its way. But sometimes, the forest needs something stronger than roots and thorns. Sometimes, it needs something that can walk into the fire. The Sporebound Brute is the newest horror to emerge from the depths of the Bloodthorne. A tow

While the Sporebound Thralls represent the first stage of the Bloodthorne's corruption, things can become a little... strange, given enough time. Enter the Sporebound Brute. The Brute is what happens when corruption is left to grow unchecked. A hulking, shambling monstrosity with not an ounce of grace in its bloated frame, the Brute exists for one purpose: to run down anything unfortunate enough to stand in its way. The Sporebound Brute on the Battlefield While not particular
