If you’ve been itching to test your army’s mettle in a sprawling narrative campaign, Path to Glory: Ravaged Coast has everything you need for an unforgettable journey through the war-torn edges of Aqshy. This new battlepack takes you to the Adamantine Chain, where conflict with Skaven is constant, resources are scarce, and powerful emberstone is up for grabs if you’re daring enough to claim it.
A Warzone in the Grip of the Vermindoom
Skaven Invasion Meets Emberstone Craze
The Ravaged Coast stands as a dangerous frontier, beset by Skaven forces pouring from the Gnaw. Amid the chaos, warlords scramble to gather caches of emberstone, the highly volatile realmstone of Aqshy prized for forging potent weapons and fueling magical prowess.
Path to Glory: Ravaged Coast immerses you in a narrative setting where cunning can triumph over brawn and risk often leads to epic rewards.
Expanded Path to Glory System
This 80+ page expansion is akin to a General’s Handbook but tuned exclusively for narrative adventures. It introduces:
- 10 New Hero Paths
- Duellist, Priest-Wizard, Monster Rider, Cavalry Commander… each offers unique progression perks, letting your champion become a fearsome close-combat killer or a bestial titan leading monstrous charges.
- 6 New Unit Paths
- From Infantry and Cavalry to Beast and War Machine units, you can sculpt your entire roster’s growth across multiple battles, reflecting the scars and triumphs of campaign warfare.
- Battle Wounds & Scars
- Survivors don’t always come back unscathed. Units can pick up permanent injuries, harming their stats unless you take time to rest or have them fade into obscurity altogether.
- Army-Wide Attrition
- If your entire champion roster is slain, your Path to Glory campaign may end in a narrative meltdown, showcasing the stark cost of unbridled ambition.
Emberstone Economy
Treasure with a Price
Emberstone is plentiful in the Ravaged Coast—if you can seize it. The campaign includes:
- Mechanics for Gathering Emberstone
Each victory (or cunning ploy) yields a precious cache. Spend it on forging weapons, recruiting units, or upgrading old gear. - Risk vs. Reward
Grabbing loads of emberstone may power up your army quickly, but exposure can cause explosive mishaps.
Searing Arsenal
For two emberstone shards, you can craft a unique emberstone weapon:
- Random Boon/Bane System
Boost your weapon’s stats but risk offsetting perks (e.g., improved rend at the cost of accuracy). - Limits & Caps
Weapon profiles won’t dip below a 6+ to Hit/Wound, and damage won’t drop below 1, so there’s no such thing as a total dud. But forging these weapons is always playing with fire—literally.
12 Fresh Battleplans & Flexible Reinforcements
You’ll skirmish from the Adamantine Chain all the way to Hel’s Claw, unlocking new scenarios as you explore:
- Location-Based Progression
Fight location-specific battles, each with unique environmental quirks or narrative twists. - Reinforcement Options
If your roster swells beyond your standard game size, certain conditions let you bring extra heroes or units into the fight. Everyone on your roster has a shot at earning those sweet progression buffs.
Bonus Rules & Regiments of Renown
Heroic Traits, Artefacts, Spell & Prayer Lores
Ravaged Coast includes an array of enhancements:
- Powerful Heroic Traits for leaders claiming emberstone relics.
- Artefacts of Power that reflect Aqshy’s fiery might.
- Spell & Prayer Lores drawing from the realm’s searing energies.
- 4 Bespoke Regiments of Renown, letting you muster specialized mercenary allies or unique heroes with thematic abilities.
Dynamic Narrative Hooks
Whether you’re an aggro Ironjawz boss seeking unstoppable momentum or a subtle spellcaster weaving realmstone sorcery, these rules add narrative weight to every upgrade and skirmish.
Why You’ll Love Ravaged Coast
