Grab Battle Supplies For Gates Of Antares With Templates & More

There are also Faction Specific Dice on the way too.
Will you be getting these for your collection?

Anyone firing from the convex side of the marker suffers a minus 2 accuracy penalty as the batter drone literally batters shots aside and throws off the attacker’s aim. The smaller markers each represent an effect on the board caused by… Read more »
