The Heart of Ghur

 

Warcry is the fast-paced skirmish game set within the Mortal Realms of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, which sees small warbands fighting it out for glory, loot, or a simple thirst for blood.

The newest release for this great game system will be The Heart of Ghur box set which is released on August 13th.

Now it’s time to lift the lid and get a good look at what’s inside – whether you’re an experienced Warcry campaigner or brand new to the game, you’ll want to see the treasures contained within.


The Warbands

They may carry hammers and other tools of the forge, but the Horns of Hashut prefer destruction to creation. They harness the power of fire and leave nothing but charred corpses in their wake, just as Hashut demands.

Facing off against the Horns of Hashut are the Rotmire Creed, twisted followers of Lord Leech. These hardy warriors seek to transform the verdant forest into a diseased swampland – a perfect place for their deity to call home.

The Scenery

The new season of Warcry takes the action away from the Varanspire and into the living forests of Ghur, better known as the Gnarlwood. You can create stunning multi-height battlegrounds with rope bridges connecting the watchtower, gnarloaks, and rib platform. 

The Core Book 

Heart of Ghur contains the complete rulebook for the new edition of Warcry. Known as the Core Book, it sets the scene for your battles in the Realm of Beasts and includes the rules for Open Play, Matched Play, and Narrative Play games.

The Warband Tome

Rot and Ruin contains the rules and background for the two new Warcry warbands, terrain rules for fighting in the Gnarlwood, and faction-specific quests for the Horns of Hashut and the Rotmire Creed.

This book is basically like a mini battletome for the two new warbands, containing everything you need to get them on the tabletop. There’s a load of other great stuff in there too including two campaign arcs, and tables for naming your fighters and deciding the background of your warband’s leader.

The Accessories

The box comes with masses of accessories, which are crucial for playing Warcry, including a game board, battleplan cards, tokens, dice, a range ruler, fighter cards, and ability cards.

Bag of Dungeon



Bag of Dungeon is a tabletop (dungeon crawler) board game of exploring deadly catacombs, fighting monsters and stealing treasure.

Using a simple-to-play tile-laying system, 1-4 players send their brave adventurers into the deep, dark dungeon to find the magical Ring of Creation. Once inside, the only way out is past the mighty Red Dragon who guards the exit.

Will you escape with your life and your loot? Can your fellow adventurers be trusted? Can you?

The entrance shuts behind you. Step into the darkness…

Will be on sale at KD Games from next week.

Happy 15th Birthday

This week KD Games is 15 years old! I simply cannot believe how quickly the years have passed.



On July 7th 2007, we opened the doors for the very first time at our shop Kids Dreams in Boundary Road in Hove.

Originally we opened as a toy shop selling traditional and pocket money toys but it was not long before we started selling or first gaming products from of course Games Workshop followed very quickly by Magic the Gathering and Pokemon.

A lot has changed since then both in what we sell and how we operate.  We changed our name to KD Games in 2013 when we stopped selling toys and have concentrated on board games and card games ever since. We have been in many different locations and served many many different people and are delighted to have been back on the High Street in Shoreham-by-Sea for the last few years.

I have lost count of the amount of games we have sold and the amount of different events, clubs, tournament and demonstrations we have run over the years.

I have had the pleasure of knowing some of you since those very early days in Hove and in many cases seen people that started playing when they were just children go on to still enjoying games in to their adulthood.

As a community you have been a big part of my families lives, my children have grown up during this time and I have had the pleasure of seeing many of your families grow too. I have made so many good friends during this time, it has been great sharing the good times with you and I have been grateful for the support many of you have shown us through the harder times. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our customers; old and new for spending your hard earned money with us and making the last 15 years so much fun. I look forward to many more years of gaming to come.

Incoming - The Horus Heresy

What is it?

Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Age of Darkness launches the new edition of the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy game.

Set 10,000 years before the events of Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer: The Horus Heresy is set amidst the turmoil and strife of the Imperium of Mankind’s great galactic civil war, as the eponymous traitor and Warmaster, Horus Lupercal turned brother against brother as he betrayed his father, The Emperor of Mankind, to watch the galaxy burn.

The Age of Darkness boxed set contains everything that you need in order to dive right in with the new Horus Heresy game, including; 54 plastic Miniatures, a 336-page hardback rulebook, dice, templates, measuring sticks, transfers and reference sheets.

The 54 miniatures in the set are comprised of 44 all-new miniatures, as well as 10 existing miniatures. Together, these are: 1x Legion Praetor with Power Sword; 1x Legion Praetor with Power Axe; 40x MKVI Space Marine Legionaries in Power Armour; 1x Contemptor Dreadnought; 1x Spartan Assault Tank, and; 10x (pre-existing) Cataphractii Terminators. The boxed set also includes an introductory army list, allowing you to get playing games of The Horus Heresy straight away with no additional purchases necessary.

It should also be mentioned that nearly all the new models have rules allowing them to be used in games of Warhammer 40,000.
