Deathwatch: First Founding
supplement
by Fantasy Flight
Games
The First Founding Legions
were crafted by the Emperor himself, and they forged the
Imperium in bloody combat as they waged the Great Crusade
across the galaxy. First Founding details
the nine Chapters directly formed from the loyalist Space
Marines Legions, and includes new rules from solo modes to
new advances specialities. Of these nine Chapters,
First Founding features the
final four Chapters not discussed in previous
Deathwatch rulebooks. This
exciting supplement includes the background of the nine
Traitor Legions and their fall to the seduction of the
Ruinous Powers. Additionally, for the first time in
Deathwatch, First Founding
provides new rules for Battle-Brothers to have followers.
The
Battle-Brothers of the Deathwatch owe their heritage to a
myriad of diverse chapters from across the Imperium. Of
these chapters, none are more revered than those that owe
their namesake to the original Space Marine Legions that
fought in the Great Crusade. From the wild Space Wolves of
Fenris, to the cold and calculating Iron Hands of Medusa,
the chapters of the First Founding have a long and glorious
legacy.
First Founding
is all about those Space Marines who owe their name to the
legendary First Founding Legions. It provides rules for
playing as Battle-Brothers from the four First Founding
Chapters never before detailed in the Deathwatch
line: the Iron Hands, the Raven Guard, the Salamanders, and
the White Scars. The book also includes new rules for the
other five First Founding Chapters, including some all new
chapter-specific Advanced Specialties and Chapter Relics.
The Walking Dead
board game
by Cryptozoic
Entertainment
In The Walking Dead
board game, only the strong survive. The weak turn into
walkers, and then turn against their former friends! Fight
your way through zombie-infested Atlanta with your fellow
survivors. Grab some weapons to clear a path. Visit
destinations like the department store, the police station,
old folk's home, and the CDC. Find the tools you’ll need to
live another day like weapons, allies, a car, or a swift
mount. Take on the role of Rick, Andrea, or one of the other
hapless survivors and scrounge for sweet weapons like a
Shotgun or Crossbow. Keep your eyes open for new allies, but
watch your back! When supplies start running low, it’s every
man for himself. If you can make it back to camp with enough
gear to defend yourself and those you still care for, you
win!
Should you fall to the hungry horde of walkers, the game
doesn't end. When a player dies and becomes a walker, they
leave the world of the living behind and seek out the
remaining survivors. Spring surprise attacks on the living,
cause the walkers to frenzy, or contaminate the survivor’s
supplies. Put the bite on your former friends and they’ll
join you in your pursuit of the living. As a survivor,
you'll work as a team with your remaining buddy to ensure
the camp site stays protected. Share weapons and other
resources. The fate of the human race is in your hands,
either as a survivor or a walker.
