Playing the Game

Starter games can be played with 100 points and will last around 20 minutes.

The typical standard game is 300-350 points and this will give you a game of 2 – 2.5 hours.
A starter box game is the smallest practical game and consists of 160 points. That will take anywhere from 40-40 minutes.

400 point games will last most of an evening, and for real meaty games of 500-600 points, you will get an entire afternoon of fun.
Godslayer can be played realistically up to about 1000 points for a BIG battle.

For those that enjoy tournament gaming, Godslayer rules are tight and very well-suited to tournament play. Not only that, the factions
and models are incredibly well balanced after four years intensive playtesting.

- Profile cards list all statistics and special rules, so there’s no need to thumb through army books.
- Godslayer is a 2D6-based game which utilized an incredibly flexible action-point system.
- Models can perform actions in almost any sequence, so there are no artificial phases.
- All models have abilities as well tactics they can use by paying action tokens, for example Phalanx, Testudo, Shield Wall etc.
- Characters and warlords can order tactics to other models and units.
- The game runs on a turnaround basis where players alternately activate 2 individual models or a unit, then switch over. This keeps the tension high and
the tactical situation is continuously evolving so both players remain intensely interested in the game throughout.
- Most models have different attack options, some have multiple weapons.
- Warlords can be equipped with a different set of items from a long list of options.

All options are so clear and so simple, and the action-point system regulates the games so easily, that Godslayer is a fast and bloody game while allowing
outstanding detail and flexibility of actions.
