New packs and units to expand the 5024 Escape the Dark Czar beginners box for the game as well as the much bigger Undead Army of the Dark Czar in 28mm scale. A three figure colour party to give more command poses to the core six Savant Zombies in the beginners box. A full unit of twelve infantry using all these poses.

He no longer felt anything. What he had been..if he had ever been anything other than a puppet of his masters...was gone. Under him his horse stood perfectly still for it, like him, was no longer alive. It's simple senses bound to his own by the same arcane means that gave him his unlife.

Preserovitch knew that the band of mortals would have to come this way and that he sat across their path but this storm was making it hard to spot his prey. They would have to pass and pass close to be spotted. Their muskets would be useless after one shot in this weather so it would be cold steel for the kill. The Cuirassiers waited....”
