Fantasy Flight Games has finally released the new Uthuk Y’llan Army Expansion. Prepare to swarm across Terrinoth and bring your enemies to their knees!
The Uthuk Y’llan consumed everything in their path until their defeat at the end of the First Darkness. Now, they have returned and their demonic warbands bands bring chaos and destruction. The Uthuk Y’llan Army Expansion brings three units and a hero to the table. Units include Berserkers, Flesh Rippers, and Spined Threshers. The hero unit is the brutal Ravos the Everhungry. The expansion comes with 22 models, tokens, 2 new terrain pieces, 12 upgrade cards, and more.
The Uthuk Bersekers run frenzied at their enemies after being whipped up by Blood Coven witches. They have a Steadfast nature, so they are resistant to fear effects. Their action dial consists of 3 blue march actions between initiatives 3 and 6 and they have a white modifier that can be paired with any action. They can choose to suffer a wound to gain Lethal 1 for the duration of their attack. Their frenzy does not last forever and this ability can only be used twice in combat.
The Flesh Rippers make up the cavalry of the Uthuk Y’llari and are terrifying. They can function as hounds, scouts, or saboteurs. Chieftains and sorcerers can use them as mounts but are nearly impossible to restrain. Before their command tool is revealed, the player must perform a movement speed -1 maneuver. Surges are their greatest asset. After rolling a red die and two blue die, they have the ability to inflict damage equal to each surge icon revealed. They can even use the red action modifier on their command tool to grant them a morale and a surge icon. They can spawn quickly and a player can have up to nine trays of these beasts on the field at any time.
Their command tool is heavy with actions and modifiers that are focused on marches, shifts, and reforms. At initiative five, the Flesh Rippers may tap into their link to the Ynfernael to perform a march action equal to the number of unstable energy runes in play. If the forces of darkness grant their favor, this may allow your Flesh Rippers to move at a speed of four, the highest in the game. Don’t worry if the runes are not in your favor. They possess a blue march two modifier that can be paired with any other march actions.
Spined Threshers are monstrous beasts that can rend flesh, armor, and even fortified stone. Once activated, each enemy player who does not have a panic token within Range 1 to the number of unstable runes on the field will receive a panic token. The panic token allows the Thresher to reroll a die to aid its attack. With five wounds and two solid defense, the Thresher is highly resilient. They are a pain to summon however, with a cost of 18.
Spined Threshers feature a white march one modifier, granting them greater mobility than many other siege units in the game. When participating in a melee, the Spined Threshers may pair their attack with a red modifier that not only provides a bonus hit, but a morale icon as well.
The embodiment of ruthlessness and greed, Ravos the Everhungry manifests every aspect valued by the Uthuk Y’llan. The hulking creature is covered in bulging, sagging tissue and sharpened, bony growths. Open gashes crisscross his enormous belly and thighs and weep a foul substance with every movement. Ravos the Everhungry is equipped with Brutal 1, Precise 1, and Steadfast (Fear 2). He is armed with a wicked bone scythe and can spend a surge to inflict a wound on every enemy at range 1. Y’llan allies are not immune to Ravos’ wrath. Before each End Phase, you must choose a unit—friend or foe—at range one of Ravos, and force that unit to suffer one wound.
Ravos is a one man nightmare and is the first hero to be classified as a siege unit. He has an initiative of 4 and can perform a march action with speed equal to the number of unstable energy runes in play. If there are no unstable runes, then he has an initiative of 8 and a speed four march action. The Uthuk’s hero has not one, but two melee actions on his action dial. He may strike early in the round at initiative three, or wait until initiative 6. Ravos can pair his melee actions to cause bonus hits or inflict panic. Ravos’ upgrade allows him to maintain Precise 1 and Steadfast by choosing a unit at range 1 to suffer a wound and, after setup, each enemy receives a panic token. His Insatiable Hunger upgrade will have him pursuing enemies, even after his action for the round is complete.
