So i know 'what should I buy first/next??' comes up quite a lot in slightly different guises but I think my question is reasonably specific, happy to be pointed to where this might have been previously answered. I'm trying to work out what, if anything, I should look to try and get in Black Friday sales.So I have the core box, intending to play vs. an OL, not RtL (have other dedicated co-op games).
My game group has played Imp Assault reasonably extensively. I'm quite confident we will enjoy the descent campaign, I'm sure we will get around to a 2nd campaign eventually but for now we are just considering the Heirs of Blood campaign.
On the back of the Heirs of Blood campaign alone what additionally would you consider good purchases to improve it? My thoughts are;
#1 Lieutenant?
Am I right that the Lieutenants bring the OL some kind of new deck each? Are these just a replacement to the basic OL deck? If you were to buy 1 which would you go for?
#All 6 Lieutenants that appear in the HoB campaign?
Is there much benefit to buying all the Lieutenants? Or do I only gain the ability to use the model instead of the token? Is this mostly for those with loads of cash to throw around? I'm not adverse to buying all of the Lieutenants but I feel I could possibly get more for the money putting it into a full expansion?
#Either/both of the major expansions?
Would these be considered good, again only for the purposes of the HoB campaign? What would they provide? Additional heroes, enemies, items, OL cards, ect. that can both be used in the HoB missions, yes? Do they add any new mechanics that can be used in HoB? If so would you consider these an improvement?
#Heroes and Monsters collection(s)?
If I'm just looking to add some more variety to the HoB campaign are these some of the best variation for price options? Or are these more for the absolute completionist who must have everything?
#Nothing just play it as it you fool!
Is there already enough variation/complexity/mechanics to stay on top of as the OL without adding anything else in?
Thanks for any info and advice.
