3-Player Warcry Ruleset – The Idol Breakers

The following post details one of the free 3-player Warcry scenarios that we recently released in the Foetid Lands pack.

You can read more about it in our release post, pick up your copy with the link below, or just grab the rules for The Idol Breakers 3-player scenario scenario below!

The Idol Breakers – Setting

Deep amid the sinking bogs and shattered ruins of the Foetid Lands stands a crumbling idol of ancient significance. Desperate to preserve what little remains of their fading domain, a weary band of defenders gathers around the relic, prepared to spill blood in its shadow. Yet from opposite ends of the swamp come two rival warbands, each intent on reducing the monument to rubble and claiming the glory for themselves. As the battle rages and the idol begins to crack, the attackers must decide whether to focus their fury upon the stone… or upon one another.

With this scenario, we really wanted to develop something new and a little different. We both enjoy defensive style mission and VIP modes from other games, so this ended up being a bit of a mix between the two.

Scenario 5 – The Idol Breakers

At the start of the battle, have the Defender (Red Icons) place one objective anywhere within 6” from the centre of the battlefield. This objective is the idol

The idol has 5 toughness and can be targeted by attacking models as they would any enemy model. If an Attacker damages the idol, have them keep a tally of the total damage dealt by their friendly units over the course of the game. 

All Defender units gain access to the unique ability Restore Masonry (Triple). See below:

Restore Masonry: When a unit is within 6” of the idol can use an ability to remove wound markers equal to half the value of the ability from the idol. This ability does not affect any attacking player’s total damage tally.

Victory Conditions

At the end of Round 4, if the idol has less than 40 wounds total allotted to it, the Defender wins.

If the idol currently has 40 or more wounds allotted to it, have the Attackers compare their respective damage tallies given to the idol. The one with the higher tally wins.

Notes on scenario: The attackers must compete for damage points given to the idol as points are not shared among the Attackers. Additionally, the idol is to be considered as deadly terrain.

    The 2026 edition of the Golden Troll Warcry Tournament wrapped up in Montreal one weekend in April. This was the third year the tournament’s been running (and my third appearance, too).

    One of the warbands I’ve been thinking about a lot lately, has been whether the Questor Soulsworn. I’ve always loved this warband – both in terms of their style, how much fun they were to paint, and how great they are to play. I think they’re my favourite SCE models and for a chunky 6-man…

    3-Player Warcry games are often frantic and nerve-wracking affairs – in other words, some of the best tabletop out there. However, there’s not a ton of scenarios for 3-player games as opposed to 2-player scenarios.

    Revised 05/18/24: updated a mistake where I incorrectly used the old point cost for the Annihilator (thank you Redditor not_meetch). What a month for Warcry. I can’t think of many other months that were equal parts tears and cheers, depending on which Warband you run. If you’ve been following the community news, you’re probably aware…
