The third rendition of Warhammer Underworlds, called Beastgrave was just revealed at GenCon 2019. Check out what’s coming inside the new expansion!
Warhammer Community revealed what was going down at GenCon including some new love for Warhammer Underworlds. This next expansion is showcasing all-new Warbands and more!
WHU: Beastgrave Warbands Revealed at GenCon!
This is Warhammer Underworlds: Beastgrave – the triumphant third season of the ultimate competitive miniatures game…Look forward to an even tighter ruleset, sharply designed game mechanics, unusual and rewarding new card design and some incredible new warbands.
It looks like there are new boards, cards, Warbands, and more tricks on the way to Warhammer Underworlds. Going by this pic alone, we know that there will be some spell-casting going on for at least one of the Warbands as well.
Before we jump into the new models, you might be asking “Why is it called Beastgrave”? Well lorewise, the Necroquake caused the Mirrored City to crack and bleed its magic into other realms. Beastgrave is set in Ghur bringing all of the current Warbands to the table from the Mirrored City. However, there are some dark beastial fighters lying in wait as well that will be all-new in this expansion!
Draknar’s Ravagers
Check out Draknar’s Ravagers! These guys are the Beasts of Chaos that were first previewed as silhouettes in an earlier video. Keeping the theme of most Warbands, it looks like this pack of fighters will have two heavy-hitters. While the rest might be objective campers/harassers.
Skaeth’s Wild Hunt
Skaeth’s Wild Hunt offers us new insights into the Mortal Realms with our first look at the Kurnothi – aelf-like creatures with a savage style of their own. Offering a fast and highly specialised group of fighters, they’re a deadly and flexible warband capable of cutting down enemies at any range.
Looking at their trusty Lion companion in the middle, he was the first model previewed for the expansion from a while back. But comparing these guys to the Beasts, they look to be more Elite, and probably more skilled fighters.
Overall, the models all look like dynamic characters (which is what we expect to see in Warbands) and are brand new factions to the game. That being said, which Warband will you be bringing to battle first? What kind of cards are you hoping to see come in the expansion?
