By David “DC” CarlHeroes and Legends introduces the latest expansion cards for WARMACHINE High Command,

giving players new options for their reinforcement decks for Cygnar, the Protectorate of Menoth, Khador, and Cryx. Heroes and Legends focuses on the theme of famous characters in the Iron Kingdoms, and every

new army card has the “character” ability. Characters are a little bit stronger or tougher for their cost, but you can only have one friendly card with that name in play at a time. Each faction gains a new warcaster card along with five copies each of four new army cards players can use to customize their detachments.

These colored pips represent the maximum number of times a card can appear in a particular detachment.

CygnarHeroes and Legends brings some great new assets to the Cygnaran arsenal led by the first-ever Power 5 warcaster card, Lord Commander Coleman Stryker. The two warjacks, the

Thunderhead and Gallant, bring a great deal of offense and defense, respectively, and Captain Maxwell Finn is the perfect complement to any deck that includes a lot of Trencher cards.

ProteCtorate of MenothThe Protectorate cards from Heroes and Legends radiate Menoth’s power. The Avatar of Menoth uses

the Menoth’s Gaze ability to take the brunt of an enemy attack and safeguard more vulnerable support cards. The Lawgiver’s Creed ability on the Covenant of Menoth can be just as disruptive to an opponent’s plans by completely shutting down his or her cards’ abilities.

khadorThe Khador cards in Heroes and Legends are perhaps best typified by their extremes. On one end of the spectrum, the Great Bears of Gallowswood card is one of the most efficient in all of

High Command. On the other, the Behemoth is the highest-cost warjack to date but comes with a staggering array of resource production or combat capabilities along with 2 VPs.

CryxNecromantic powers really come to the fore in Heroes and Legends, showcasing Cryx’s discard pile as a renewable resource. Lich Lord Asphyxious, Deathjack, and the Withershadow

Combine all provide means of reusing your discarded cards. Then there’s Captain Rengrave, a card that brings out free Revenants from your hand any time he’s rushed, deployed, or even moved!
