Warmachine Dusk Ghosts of Ios Starter Set

Warmachine Dusk Ghosts of Ios Starter Set 

The Warmachine Dusk Ghosts of Ios Starter Set (updated naming for the former Ghosts of Ios Command Cadre) is a 30-point starter force for the Warmachine tabletop miniatures game, representing a band of refugee mage hunters operating on the fringes of the Empire of Eternal Dusk. Led by Morayne, Blade of Twilight, this force emphasizes speed, precision, and anti-magic warfare, making it a distinctive entry point into the Dusk faction.

The Ghosts of Ios are former members of the Retribution of Scyrah who now fight to preserve the legacy of the vanished Iosan gods, striking surgically at enemy forces while protecting scattered survivors. This starter can be played straight out of the box as an introduction army and integrates into House Kallyss and other Dusk forces as your collection expands.

Who is this product for?

The Ghosts of Ios Starter Set is suited for players who want to begin a Warmachine Dusk army with a fast, elite force focused on precision strikes and anti-spell tactics. It appeals to new players seeking a thematic entry into Warmachine as well as experienced hobbyists expanding a House Kallyss or Dusk collection with a character-driven cadre force.

How it’s used in play

This starter provides a playable 30-point force designed for immediate tabletop use after assembly. Morayne coordinates mobile assaults while the Mage Hunter units specialize in eliminating enemy spellcasters and key targets. The Specter light warjack provides flexible support, and Vaelyss adds specialized disruption capabilities. Together, the force excels at surgical engagements, flanking maneuvers, and high-precision attacks rather than brute force.

The set functions as a standalone army for smaller games and can be combined with other Dusk releases to form larger forces.
