The Shadow and The Blade is decent value, offering plenty of play, some exciting new units, and an interpretation of Malus Darkblade that might actually match the hype. Both Tz’arkan and Deathmaster Snikch are terrors on the battlefield — Snikch especially has some of the best Lord animations I’ve seen in the entirety of Total: War Warhammer. But it’s not quite up to previous Lord packs like The Hunter and The Beast, with neither Lord’s campaign displaying the levels of storytelling and innovation of which CA has shown itself capable.
