Wave 3: a new hero, a new tactical unit and a custom dice set for every faction

Commanders, Wave 3 just dropped, and it's a big one. Every faction gets three new things: a hero, a tactical unit and a custom dice set. Terran players finally get their Ghost. Zerg get a Broodmother and the nastiest bio-warfare unit in the Swarm. Protoss get a legend and the psionic storm-casters every Protoss fan has been waiting for.

Whether you're building out the army you started with a Wave 1 starter or picking a second faction, this is the wave that adds real personality to your list.
