Deathburgh: Specialists and Scholars

How to Play Deathburgh

There is a city where no one dies — not from hunger, thirst, age, or even violence. A city where the only real fear is forgetting who you are...

A new Youtube video is now available to learn how to play Deathburgh HERE.

This cinematic guide will show you how to play the basics of the new tabletop game by Highlands Miniatures, a dark fantasy wargame of endless fighting.

As we continue with the development of Deathburgh with more miniatures and designs, we will continue updating and changing these pages to properly reflect the miniatures into the game: weaponry, warband composition, etc.

If your are not a subscriber, you can download the Rulebook and all PDFs for free HERE.

New Unique Miniatures for your Warband

The Scholars are masters of gas in every form. They can sense and control the emotions inside Etherium Vitalis, using it to twist reality itself.

With their powers, they can drive enemies mad or fill their allies with courage. Lost in their studies, they often wander through battle half-aware, surrounded by clouds that carry pain, fear, and memories.

Beside them you’ll find the Specialists.

These are elite soldiers: quiet, fast, and lethally efficient. Skilled in ambushes and surprise attacks, they take control of the most dangerous areas, always staying one step ahead of the enemy.

In today's publication we take a look at the (1) City Watch Scholar and the (1) City Watch Specialist, some of the unique core miniatures of your warband.

These miniatures are not modular

You can find all the PDFs required to play Deathburgh as well as these miniatures in the monthly Google Drive, along with the Welcome Pack and the monthly set of miniatures -when available- from Highlands Miniatures.
