Late last year I happened across a cool looking skirmish game from Steamforged Games called Godtear and fell in love with the miniatures that are used in the game to represent Champions, Followers and Banners.
These immediately put me in mind of the new Talisman Nemesis: Call of the Hunt expansion, where you are presented with a Trial Adversary, Animal Villain Characters and Sacred Sites and it seemed obvious what I needed to do next!
Fast forward a couple of months, and minus a couple of hundred quid, and I now have both of the Godtear Starter Sets, Eternal Glade and The Borderlands, and all of the Champion Expansions that are currently available.
I’ve yet to actually come up with anything meaningful at the moment for use with Talisman, but it’s on “the list”. I did decide to add in an extra Shaper Champion though, as there were only six to choose from where all of the others have a roster of seven! You can check out Ctharsys, the Slumbering Abomination and his Acolyte Cultists below…
I’ll add more to this page over time, but for now you can take a look at the current range of Champions. If you have any thoughts, please don’t hesitate to let me know!
