Sometimes a Games Workshop starter set comes along that's targeted specifically at you. Friends, that is the case for me with Pyre and Flood, the latest Warcry expansion. As with last year's ace Hunter and Hunted box, the set once again includes two rival warbands and a standout piece of scenery. Much to my delight, however, the factions this time are the Lumineth Realmlords (my current Age of Sigmar army) and the Nighthaunt (my first Age of Sigmar army). I immediately wanted both of these warbands for my collection and it helps that the scenery piece this time, the Idol of the Old Ones - a massive piece of ruined Seraphon iconography - is equally cool.
Of course, Games Workshop will want this box to appeal to people outside of the "voraciously collects both Lumineth and Nighthaunt minis" demographic (fine, I suppose...), but I'm happy to report that whether you have a built-in love for these factions or not, Pyre and Flood is another excellent Warcry set. These board games for adults feel like they've hit a certain rhythm now, providing characterful warbands and scenery while also expanding the story of the current season.
