Publisher Modiphius Entertainment has announced that it will be launching a Kickstarter for a new wargame and miniatures range, Cohors Cthulhu: Tactics.

Cohors Cthulhu: Tactics is a brand new horror-themed solo/coop adventure wargame from Modiphius Entertainment, which will be coming to Kickstarter in June 2024.

Set in the Cohors Cthulhu universe during the height of Imperial Rome, you begin your heroic journey as one of a handful of survivors of an ambush, desperately trying to escape the Mythos-ridden mists of a Germanic forest. As your heroes grow in experience and power, you will fulfil your destiny, becoming the leader of a powerful Legion and facing the avatars of the Outer Gods themselves in full-scale war!

Played solo or cooperatively, the game fuses the strategic nuance of tabletop wargames with the immersive narrative of role playing games.

Cohors Cthulhu: Tactics will feature a wide range of 28mm miniatures in both resin and 3D print at-home STL files, all designed to match the scale of leading historical miniatures manufacturers and make it easy for you to build your Legions.

The miniatures range features Roman Centurions, scoundrels, nobles, hunters, priests, druids, assassins, soldiers, and warriors – more than enough for you to choose the right characters for your heroic journey and lead your forces to victory over your eldritch enemies. Facing them will be the full might of the Outer Gods: The Cult of Mormo with their Priests, Servitors, Ghouls and Overlords of Mormo, Teufel Hounds, Fluttering Fiends, Sheehad, Elder Things, Chosen and Die Draugr!

Kickstarter backers will have an exclusive opportunity to grab one of several powerful Avatars of the Outer Gods in resin such as the Star Spawn of Cthulhu. Stretch Goals will unlock new factions, such as the Deep Ones, Mi-Go, and the corrupt Herjan’s Horde, plus more mythos creatures, additional missions, and new gameplay options.

This new launch follows a successful Kickstarter campaign for Cohors Cthulhu Tabletop Roleplaying Game in October 2023, unlocking six tabletop RPG books, and 25 miniatures, that can also be used in the Cohors Cthulhu: Tactics wargame. This Kickstarter will be fulfilling in summer 2024.

Modiphius Entertainment is well-known for its other successful wargames including Five Leagues from the Borderlands, Five Parsecs From Home, Fallout: Wasteland Warfare, The Elder Scrolls: Call to Arms, and most recently Fallout: Factions.
