Players command warbands, forge legendary leaders, and battle rival factions across the elemental frontiers. The game blends fast-paced combat with deep storytelling, letting you shape your own warband and carve your legacy in Anduin’s unfolding saga.

How do I create my own leader?

You’ll build your leader from the ground up, choosing:

Name, Race & Elemental Affinity
Unique Abilities, Flaws & Fighting Style
Appearance, Backstory & Moral Alignment

The game uses the Favours, Flaws, Form & Fuse system for endless customization—every leader tells their own story.

Kitbashed models from your collection
Any miniatures that fit your warband’s theme

Official STL files are available for key characters, but the game celebrates player creativity above all.
