Red Mist is a miniatures skirmish game set in the world of the Thinning Veil. Each player controls the fate of their warband, fighting for honour and to elevate their status to "Known Men", and eventually to become Heroes of legend! Guided by their Druid, the Chiefs of these warbands lead their followers into battle, for glory and riches. This narrative-based miniatures skirmish game with a twist develops round by round, weaving about your deeds, as you fight your way through the story, but who will have the ultimate victory, and who will literally lose their heads?
Each Warband is comprised of a Chief, a spiritual advisor, and their warriors. All of these powerful combatants can gain skills and increase attributes by spending Skulls. These carry over game to game. Skulls are gained by killing enemies, and may be spent on your activation. Be wary, for accumulating too many unspent Skulls will make you a target for enemies, who will wish to claim them from you, to take them for themselves! Red Mist comes with the Headhunters and the Berserkers, and highly challenging, varied, scenario-based encounters, unleashing both allies and enemies into play.
At the conclusion of each scenario the winner of the game is the player who completed the most of their objectives! Be wary though, for the game itself will throw enemies at you, and if you aren't careful you can suffer the ignoble defeat of being beaten by the Crypt Ghouls, the dreaded Shachran, or even the Ghoul King himself!
Red Mist can be played solo in 3 scenarios, or with up to 10 players taking control of two rival warbands, in the 6 Rage mode scenarios and 3 Grudge matches.
