The Maelstrom: Lair of the Tyrant is a Warhammer 40,000 campaign set covering the turbulent warp-space region known as the Maelstrom and the conflicts fought within and around it by the factions who call it home or contest its territory. The set consists of four books: an 80-page hardback covering the lore and history of the Maelstrom; a 64-page book providing rules for creating a Crucible Champion - a custom fighter character for any faction who gains abilities through the campaign narrative; a 48-page mission book containing twelve Incursion missions and two Mayhem missions providing a varied campaign experience; and a 16-page detachment supplement introducing new Detachment rules for Chaos Space Marines, Aeldari, Orks, and Leagues of Votann.
The Lair of the Tyrant format makes it useful across multiple player groups and faction combinations - the Crucible Champion rules cover every Warhammer 40,000 faction, meaning any army can participate in the campaign narrative and develop a unique character alongside their force. The mission variety (Incursion and Mayhem) suits different table sizes and player preferences. The new Detachment rules in the 16-page supplement provide the most immediate matched-play utility for Chaos Space Marines, Aeldari, Orks, and Leagues of Votann players who want additional list-building options outside their primary Codex Detachments.
A Warhammer 40,000 campaign set - four books covering the Maelstrom lore, Crucible Champion rules, missions, and new Detachments. In stock at BuzzPaints - free UK delivery on all orders.
