The challenge in using the set is that it works best as a backdrop. This is a lot of work, and while there's definitely value in a set of terrain you can throw away when you're done, if you're ever going to use the dungeon more than once you might want to consider saving for Dwarven Forge. It has a variety of walls and a means of raising each level to allow for different elevations. This set is filled with interesting details, like disgusting straw beds, rusty mine carts laden with treasure, crystals, a waterfall, and even lava. Since many Dungeons & Dragons campaign lead to a dungeon crawl, this set should be useful. After all, the basics of paper models relies on angles and folds, and trees, boulders, and gently rolling hills don't lend themselves to this angular forms.
I went for the four player deal set to get me more bang for my buck.I've always wondered how paper models could possibly take on natural formations.

If you go for the four player deal set, it will cost £75 (RRP should be £94.50) and you get everything from the two player version plus a human gladiator figure, your choice of a Ceratid gladiator figure and extra tokens.
Alternatively, you can buy the two player deal set for £65 (RRP should be £80.50) which bags you 1 Exuvium and 1 Scabendi figure of your choice, 4 monsters (Deathcoil Beast, Horned Hominid, Lava Salamander and a Recnac), the rulebook, the gaming mat, and tokens for defensive stance, favour, initiative and knockdowns.

The cheapest option is to get a PDF copy of the rulebook for just £5.00. When it comes to buying the game you have a number of options. My one and only criticism of the game is the lack of the official dice - a problem which Dave acknowledges and is working on to rectify. Regular followers of my blog will know that I'm a big fan of Dave's Wargames Terrain Workshop figures and models and this game has quickly become one of my favourite sci-fi skirmish games. Dave was simply the better player on the night. I got soundly beaten but I could have no excuses. It was a huge thrill playing with Dave, who had done much to design the game rules and of course, sculpt the figures for it. That evening, we played a game on the official arena mat (beautifully made of neoprene plastic) and used some of Dave's own painted figures. Rather than post them to me, I asked Dave to bring them with him when he drove all the way to my house. I placed a large order for the game and enough figures for a four player match. Prior to his arrival, the Death Match game went on sale on the WTW webstore. When a figure suffers sufficient hit points lost he/she or it is removed from the game.įast forward to when Dave came to stay with me for a short while. Results are compared to see who scores the most hits or defences and if hits win, then damage is determined. If both dice come up with double 1s or double skulls, that is very, very bad. So, normal numbered d8s are used and the number rolled determines what symbol is used. The dice are supposed to have symbols on them (swords for attacks and shields for defence) but Dave was, and still is, trying to find a cheap source for them. Players roll 2d8s which can be attack dice, defence dice or one of each. The huge Sky Shark was an official Death Match figure and it is every bit as fearsome as it looks. The figures I used were mostly 28mm scale EM4 Roman Gladiators, a few appropriately armed sci-fi figures and some fantasy monsters (giant spiders shown here).
I printed them out and even designed my own arena using tiles from World Works Games' Arena Works set with a 1" grid overlay on them. Dave kindly sent me an advanced copy of the rules in PDF format for me to play test.
