Nuko on the horizon

In the wilds of Edath dwell an old Faction. Once of the Cerchae region the Nuko spread out after the Cerchae themselves settled into the area, for many homesteads were destroyed in a great quake and those clans found themselves displaced.

Using their predictive arts of Hinjeke, many Nuko augered a migration and so they set out to inhabit other regions, some clans travelling for many, many miles before settling once more.

They came into contact with other cultures over the years and not all contact was peaceful, not that all Nuko clans were ever peaceful, with rivalries and animosities breaking out into bloody conflict many times in history, when the Hinjeke sticks indicated that this was the course forward.

The martial arts of the Nuko began foremost as defensive and the role of the Nuko Thorns follows this tradition.



The Thorns are armed with both scythe and spears, the spears being pushed into the ground before them to aid in combating mounted adversaries and forming a spear-hedge.

Of all Nuko they are the closest Troop type to forming into formation - Nuko are more guerilla fighters and fight loosely, in skirmishing units.



Anyone with the War Unleashed book will have had a preview of colour Nuko art as they make an appearance in the colour plates.

With the next card expansion we'll be providing the Nuko at last and tying them into your games of war and adventure, even if as passing threats at first. The Thorns are top of the list as it stands.

Alongside the card art, i've been working on the Figatures to accompany the cards. I'm enjoying the fact of introducing a new species and culture to the mix - working on these new Factions is as cool as i hope you'll find descovering them as we release them. It won't be too long now - thanks for your patience.
