There are a lot of hero types! In the Occult Expansion, we add quite a few new heroes, many specific only to a single faction. In this issue of Over the Wire we include charts to help players keep track of the many different hero types, which factions these hero types belong to and where these hero types can be found. A hero type can only be added to models from the faction that hero type belongs to.
