Warlord Games: New Test of Honour - Samurai Wargame


Warlord Games has shared some more information about their miniature boxed game named Test of Honour in which you will field  bands of mighty Samurai in Feudal Japanese warfare.

The Emperor is weak, challenged by the might of the Shogun. The Clan lords align themselves with one side or the other, taking advantage of the turmoil to settle old grudges and seize new territory in a Test of Honour... 

Test of Honour is a skirmish wargame played with roughly 5-20 models on each side. Players select their force before each game based around a samurai hero along with one or two loyal samurai companions and a variety of clan soldiers (monks, paupers and the like). Battles are swift and bloody as players alternate acting with one of their warriors – moving and fighting to achieve the objective of the scenario, whether that be cutting down the enemy, defending an outpost or finding and protecting a spy.

Play through the scenarios in sequence to tell a tale of bitter clan rivalry, betrayal and revenge! With each battle, your samurai will learn new skills, and perhaps even take the shameful path of deceit and trickery to gain victory – such choices are the ultimate test of honour. Test of Honour will be available to pre-order later this month. Look out for more details about the game next week!
