In this post, I'm looking at the characters of the Tomb of the Lich Lord set for the Dungeoneer game by Thomas Denmark. Dungeoneer is sold as card decks, and I own all of them, so I'm reviewing them each.

I've sort of accidentally built up an Astra Militarum army for Warhammer 40,000 over the past few years. I'd been playing them mostly as [unofficial] add-on units to other armies, because I like to mix and match my 40k armies. I purchased the physical data cards for the army because I think I didn...
