See exactly what comes in the Guards of Traitor's Toll New Recruits box, including Halfling, Dwarf, and human guards, plus a ferocious attack dog. Decide if this resin expansion fits your army.
Quick answer
The Guards of Traitor's Toll New Recruits box adds three unique resin miniatures—a Halfling, a Dwarf, and a human guard barely controlling an attack dog—to your guard squad, with rules compatibility for standard Recruitment cards or the Guardhouse Heroes set.
What makes these recruits different
Unlike the standard guard sprue from the Starter Set, this expansion introduces non-human models that change how you build your squad. The Halfling and Dwarf each require an appropriate Trait card to match their size and abilities, so you are not just swapping a head—you are adding distinct tactical options.
The human guard with an attack dog is the standout piece. The dog is not a separate model; it is sculpted as part of the base, which means you get a single figure that counts as one guard but visually suggests a handler-and-beast unit. The catalog notes that cards for Attack Animals are found in a separate set, so you will need to source that card if you want the dog to have special rules.
Assembly and material considerations
All three figures are cast in resin. Resin requires washing in warm soapy water before priming to remove mold release, and you should use super glue rather than plastic cement. The parts are one-piece casts with minimal flash, so cleanup is quick, but you will still need a hobby knife and fine sandpaper.
Because the attack dog is integrated into the base, there is no separate animal to assemble. This simplifies construction but also means you cannot field the dog on its own—it is permanently attached to the guard.
Decision rules for buying the New Recruits box
- Do you want to add non-human models to your guard squad?: If you already have the Starter Set and want more visual variety, the Halfling and Dwarf are quick additions that use existing cards. You just need a Trait card for each. Check if you own the Guardhouse Heroes set for the Halfling's alternative card.
- Are you comfortable with resin assembly?: Resin requires washing, super glue, and careful cleanup. If you prefer plastic snap-fit kits, this box will demand more prep time.
- Do you need the attack dog to have rules?: The dog is included as a sculpted detail, not a separate unit. To use it with special rules, you must buy the Attack Animals card set separately. If you only want the dog for display or as a proxy, the box is fine as-is.
Product facts
- Guards of Traitor's Toll New Recruits: The Halfling and the Dwarf can both be used with a standard guard Recruitment card from the Starter Set and an appropriate Trait card. Alternatively, for the Halfling use the Diminutive Guard card from the Guardhouse Heroes set. You have two ways to field the Halfling: either with the standard card plus a Trait, or with a dedicated card from Guardhouse Heroes—choose based on whether you own that expansion.
Guards of Traitor's Toll New Recruits - Guards of Traitor's Toll New Recruits: Cards for Attack Animals are found in a separate set. The attack dog model looks great, but you need an additional card pack to give it special rules in gameplay.
