New Warhammer Underworlds & More: FIRST LOOK
It looks like there were supposed to be some Ogor releases this week, but they were taken off at the last minute, so if you’re not too worried about Underworlds, we might get to some big guy releases next week!
Warhammer Underworlds: Gnarlwood
A new season of Warhammer Underworlds kicks off with the Gnarlwood boxed set. Set in the ravenous root-halls beneath the hungry forest of Ghur, the new box brings a host of new and updated rules – and two new warbands, the savage Gnarlspirit Pack and the skeletal Sons of Velmorn.
You get four full Rivals decks – one for each warband, and two universal decks that can be combined with any Warhammer Underworlds warband. You also get boards, a rulebook, tokens, and dice – it’s everything you need to start playing.
As with every new season starter, this has everything you need to start playing! Whether you are a new or continuing player, this is a perfect way to start off the new season with a friend.
Rivals of Nethermaze
First seen in the Warhammer Underworlds: Nethermaze boxed set, The Shadeborn and Skitershank’s Clawpack are now coming out separately. This kit includes both warbands, plus their Rivals decks, so once you’ve assembled the push-fit miniatures and shuffled your cards, you’re ready to start playing. Can you dominate the root-halls with survivors from the Nethermaze?
It’s a little interesting to re-package the old starter, but still, force you to buy both warbands. At the end of the day, at least these are both sweet sets of models, and it will be cheaper than the whole starter box!
Warhammer Underworlds Card Sleeves
Protect your Warhammer Underworlds cards in the depths of the Gnarlwood from blood, meat trees, and spilt tea with these sleeves. This set includes 15 sleeves for your Objective cards and 30 sleeves for your Power cards – perfect for whether you’re playing Rivals, Nemesis, or Championship format.
Sleeves are a great way to keep your cards in good condition, so these might be decent options if you want to keep things simple and protect your cards.
Soulblight Gravelords Direchasm Warband
Seraphon Direchasm Warband
Slaves to Darkness Direchasm Warband
Orruks Direchasm Warband
Ossiarch Bonereapers Direchasm Warband
Idoneth Deepkin Direchasm Warband
The great thing with Warbands for use in AoS is they are all essentially characters and can EASILY stand in as lieutenants or leaders among the squads of similar models in your army!
