New in Store: Arcane Legions

Just in! An all new multi-army miniatures game!

The year is 37 BCE. The Roman Empire, Egyptian Imperium, and the Han Dynasty battle for control of a magically ravaged world using legions of men and monsters, warriors and sorceresses, undead and gods. In the Arcane Legions game, players arrange and rearrange figures on unique formations bases to change tactics on the fly. Movement and combat is fast and deadly, using an abstracted movement system and a simple dice-off mechanic that will have you sending hundreds of figures to their deaths in under two hours!

Learn more about the game at the Arcane Legions website at: www.arcanelegions.com
