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

Shroudwardens! The war for Astira continues this summer! We are excited to announce the Shroudfall Summer Major 2026, taking place on July 11th–12th at Spielefest Wien in the Austria Center Vienna. Organized by Marcus from Marcus Miniatures World, the Summer Major will bring together hobbyists, painters, and Essence Weavers from across Europe for a weekend of epic battles beneath the Shroud. Registration is now open via Longshanks. The Shroudfall tournament will be played usi

Time in Astira is not a river. It is a resource: measured, stored, and spent. Among fractured frontlines, even seconds can decide whether a settlement stands or falls. Most commanders fight for ground, for crystal, for survival. But there are those rare few who learn to fight for something far more dangerous: Control over the moment itself. Today, we turn our attention to one such force on the battlefield: Magistra Selina Wynford! A master of temporal manipulation, Selina ben

Time waits for no one… unless Magistra Selina Wynford has something to say about it. The newest character for the Silver Line is here, and Selina is bringing enough temporal manipulation to make your opponents feel like they’re stuck in slow motion. Her entire kit revolves around one thing: controlling the pace of the battle. Friendly units surge forward with unnatural speed, enemies struggle through warped time fields, and key activations happen just a little earlier than yo

Hey folks, Bernhard here! After Daniel walked you through his experience at the Spring Bash tournament last week, it’s now my pleasure to report from another battlefield entirely: the first Shroudfall tournament in Berlin. Of course, I could not resist bringing the Umbral Veil list I talked about in my previous blog post. Well… almost the same list. After some spirited discussion in the Shroudfall Discord, I made a last-minute adjustment. Out went the Deathspitter Brutes, and

The Shroudfall Spring Bash 2026 brought players together at WOW Keepers in Austria for a day of tactical play, clever list design, and some truly intense matchups. I brought along a balanced Silver Line list built around one of my favorite Silver Line Essence Weavers: Major Byron Kildare. Army List Overview Faction: Silver Line Main List (199/200 pc): Major Byron Kildare, Master of the Armoury (30) Magistra Selina Wynford (16) Riflemen (25) Guardian Defiants (27) Guardian La

Now that the game has been out in the wild for a while and is seeing real tabletop action, it’s time for the first round of refinements. This update focuses on smoothing out rough edges, tightening up the rules, and ensuring the experience plays exactly as intended. The Errata revisits the Core Rulebook, correcting small issues from the initial print run and clarifying sections that caused confusion during actual games. Meanwhile, the FAQ addresses some of the most common q

With the Capital Clash tournament in Berlin on April 18th approaching, it’s time to start thinking seriously about what I’m bringing to the table. After some back and forth between factions, I’ve decided to lean into the shadows a bit this time around and field an Umbral Veil warband. After all, it’s the faction where I can field the most fully painted models - a very important competitive metric. But jokes aside, the faction is also incredibly fun to pilot on the tabletop.

Astira's forests do not waste anything. Not flesh, not bone, not even the fallen. Where other forces raise armies through training or faith, the Bloodthorne simply plant their dead and wait. From rot and root, new servants grow - silent, patient, and utterly loyal to the will of the forest.

For years, the world of Shroudfall has lived on tabletops, in stories, and in the imaginations of players exploring the dark corners of Astira. Today, we’re excited to share something we’ve been quietly working toward behind the scenes ...

The Sporebound Thralls are the first stage of the Bloodthorne’s corruption, freshly claimed humans whose bodies still carry the fading echo of who they once were.

On the last weekend of February, we had the pleasure of attending Hamburger Tactica , one of Germany’s most beloved tabletop conventions. This year’s event was particularly special, as it marked the 20th anniversary of the convention and what a celebration it was. For anyone who has never experienced Tactica before, it is far more than a typical convention. At its heart lies a true celebration of the tabletop hobby in all its forms. Instead of focusing primarily on vendors or

The Squidmar Open Painting Challenge once again brought together an incredible number of painters from around the world. Among the hundreds of entries, we were thrilled to see a growing number of hobbyists bringing Shroudfall miniatures to the painting desk. And the results were fantastic! The forests of Astira were particularly well represented this time. A large portion of the Shroudfall entries came from the Chosen of the Spirit Tree faction, with elegant Ailur and swif

The Windrunners didn’t so much arrive back from their scouting mission, as they simply occurred in the vicinity of the Chosen of the Spirit Tree camp at a high velocity. One moment, there was a quiet forest glade; the next, there was a localized atmospheric disturbance and several Aiyani scouts lounging on branches with the casual gravity-defying arrogance of people who treated physics as a polite suggestion rather than a law.

The Windrunners are the latest addition to the Chosen of the Spirit Tree. Like leaves carried on a storm, they dance across the battlefield, disrupting enemy back lines, seizing key objectives, and striking where it hurts most.

We’re excited to announce that the Gamebreakers and Shroudfall will join the Hamburger Tactica , one of Germany’s most atmospheric tabletop events! It’s a wonderful opportunity for us, and we’re truly looking forward to being there and making it a great experience for everyone who stops by our table. For those who haven’t been before, Hamburger Tactica is one of the most beloved tabletop conventions in northern Germany. Known for its beautifully designed demo tables, creative

2025 was a landmark year for Shroudfall. What began as an ambitious vision steadily transformed into something tangible on gaming tables across Europe. Playtests hardened into refined rules, concept art became finely sculpted miniatures, and scattered warbands grew into fully realized factions. Our proudest moment arrived in October at Essen SPIEL 2025, when we unveiled the Shroudfall Skirmish Packs to the world. Watching players assemble their first forces, flip through the

You get a Sporebound, and you get a Sporebound. Everybody gets a Sporebound!
