Terror of the Lichemaster

Modern Conquest and War Games

Terror of the Lichemaster is a board game supplement published by Games Workshop in 1986 as a mini-campaign for the second edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battle, designed by Rick Priestley. It contains sixteen cardstock buildings, cardboard cutouts of non-player characters and a campaign of three linked Warhammer scenarios that introduce Heinrich Kemler as an undead lich, with background on its setting of the Frugelhorm Valley, Gimbrin's Mine, Bogels Farm and Frugelhofen Village. Cover art was by Ian Miller, the rule booklet was illustrated by Gary Chalk and the buildings were designed by Dave Andrews. Games Workshop also sold metal miniatures for the scenarios. Kemler returned as the players' nemesis in later Warhammer products, and a sequel, Vengeance of the Lichemaster, followed. Richard Vicary reviewed it in White Dwarf issue 75 and gave it 9 out of 10.
