Hello all.

After having Descent sitting in our unplayed games pile, we finally gave it a go with the app at the weekend and have got hooked already. I've just ordered the Heirs of Blood campaign, but which figures will I need to get so we're using actual miniatures instead of tokens? I picked up:

Merick Farrow

Eliza Farrow

Alric Farrow

Zachareth

Any others? And any must-have expansions to stick on a Christmas wishlist?

Any advice greatly appreciated!

You'll also need the Bel'thir and Splig lieutenant packs as well if you want a miniature for every lieutenant that can appear in Heirs of Blood.

As for expansions, I think the ones that provide the most additional classes are the most essential: Labyrinth of Ruin and Shadows of Nerekhall.

Wait a second, are you planning on playing Heirs of Blood with the app? Because that's not possible. The App doesn't use any campaign book, instead, it has its own campaign named Kindred Fire, which is free.

Be careful buying something you might not need/want. Heirs of blood can only be played in a standard game (Overlord vs Heroes). However, not everything is lost, something you can do is to look at BGG for Redjack's Variants to make the campaign books cooperative.

Now, for your question, Heirs of Blood will need the 6 lieutenants that come with the core set, which are:

-Lady Eliza Farrow

-Lord Merick Farrow

-Sir Alric Farrow

-Baron Zachareth

-Splig

-Belthir

They are used at least once during that campaign.

If you didn't want to buy Heirs of Blood and you want to play the App exclusivly. I suggest buying Lord Merrick Farrow for that campaign, he appears in it much.

As well, I have some suggestions on what to buy for the app (which is my personal opinion).

One more thing, consider to buy the Delve, it gives the App another cooperative way to play, very interesting.

P.S. There's a subforum specially dedicated to the App, which is found at the top of this forum called Road to Legend. In there you can find information about the app and stuff.

Cheers both!

I've already ordered Heirs Of Blood. While we normally play co-op (just me and my wife playing - avoids arguments!), we definitely like it enough to give it a go competitively. I'll check out the app pages, and the BGG variants, and see if I can track down Splig and Belthir!

And superb - I've now got a load of ideas to stick on a wishlist! We normally buy a new board game for Christmas but this year is going to be all about Descent I reckon.

Woohoo!

I recommend getting a LT Pack not in your campaign. I'd personally go for Skarn. Big figure, looks great, and good in combat too!

I'd like to see your completed wish list once it's complete.

Ah man, I'm a bit of an obsessive once I get into a game, so Descent's wish list is a bit scary - so much to get!

I'm looking at my currently unplayed copy of the The Others and Labyrinth right now - plus Dunwich/Innsmouth expansions for Arkham, plus the Arkham Horror LCG we've only played twice, plus Mansions that we've only done two missions of, plus... - and we've stupidly got into a 'new' game instead!

It's going to get expensive... Fantasy Flight should just take a percentage of my salary every month.
