Welcome to the realm of Warhost! Whether you're commanding a mighty host or leading savage creatures into battle, this guide will show you exactly how to integrate the Warhost supplement with the second edition of The Barons' War.
What You'll Need
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- A copy of The Barons' War: Second Edition rulebook
- A copy of the Warhost supplement
Both elements are crucial, but there’s an important note: some sections of Warhost either update or replace rules found in the main rulebook. To help you understand these changes, we’ve provided a convenient reference table below.
What to Ignore—and What Not To
Warhost was written in tandem with the second edition of The Barons' War. In the second edition, we eventually included many rule tweaks originally found in Warhost (see "Rule Changes for Warhost," pages 5–8). So if you're playing with the second edition, you can ignore those pages, with one important exception.
🔥 Large Creatures (Page 8)
The rules for Large Creatures, found at the bottom of page 8 in Warhost, are not included in the core second edition rules. If your host includes anything massive, monstrous, or majestic, you'll still need to use those rules as written in Warhost.
Final Thoughts
Using Warhost with The Barons' War: Second Edition is straightforward once you know which parts to use and which to skip. With your rulebooks in hand and your host assembled, you're ready to dive into the darker, fantastical side of the Barons' War.
