Terror of the Lichemaster is a board game published by Games Workshop in 1986 as a mini-campaign for Warhammer Fantasy Battle. Games Workshop also offered related metal miniatures that could be purchased for use with the scenarios.
Gameplay[edit]
Terror of the Lichemaster is a supplement which consists of a selection of 16 cardstock buildings,[1] as well as a campaign of three linked Warhammer scenarios introducing the character Heinrich Kemler as an undead lich.[2] Kemler would return as the players' nemesis in many more Warhammer products.[3] Cardboard cutouts for the various non-player characters are also included, although the gamemaster could substitute separately purchased metal miniatures offered by Games Workshop.[2] Background information about the setting of the Frugelhorm Valley, Gimbrin's Mine, Bogels Farm and Frugelhofen Village is also included.

Reception[edit]
Richard Vicary reviewed Terror of the Lichemaster for White Dwarf #75, giving it an overall rating of 9 out of 10, and stated that "Terror of the Lichemaster is a solid product for Warhammer players.
