Here’s a first look at the new Warcry and Warhammer Underworlds releases hitting pre-order on October 7th, 2023.
Get those hobby dollars ready if you want any of these new releases from Games Workshop that will go up for pre-order with your favorite retailers on Saturday, October 7th, 2023, around 1 p.m. EST here in the States.
New Warcry Warbands, Underworlds Starters, & BANDAI: First Look
This week is another bit strange, with all the AoS-related stuff being on a two-week pre-order period when the Space Marines release hasn’t even completed their two-week pre-order yet. Either way, it may seem like it’s taking a while for these releases to hit store shelves on the 21st of October.
Then, the BANDAI figure will be on Made to Order (MTO), which generally takes up to 180 days to get to you. While there are some cool Specialist Game releases this time, it’s interesting to see GW keeping up with the second two-week pre-order period in a row.
Warhammer Underworlds Deathgorge:Â
In the icy depths of Andtor lies theDeathgorge, a network of frozen tunnels and caves that has entombed untold treasures – not to mention the souls of unlucky adventurers. And where there are souls to be claimed, you’re sure to find both Idoneth Deepkin and daemons of Slaanesh. Deep in the boreal depths of the Deathgorge, Cyreni’s Razors and the Thricefold Discord are locked in a bitter battle over this hoard of ice-crusted anima.
The new core set for Warhammer Underworlds features two new warbands, two new Rivals decks, two universal Rivals decks, and everything else you need to play the ultimate competitive miniatures game.
This is the new core set for the game, and if you want to get two new warbands in one buy, this is the way to go.
Warhammer Underworlds Starter SetÂ
Beginners can also find their way into Warhammer Underworlds with a new starter set, which will be available from select retailers. It’s on sale from Saturday the 7th of October, and differs slightly from the current Warhammer Underworlds: Starter Set.
It contains two warbands – Ironsoul’s Condemnors and the Sepulchral Guard – as well as their Rivals decks and everything else you need to play. It’s a gentle introduction into the exciting (and decidedly un-gentle) world of Warhammer Underworlds, and the set will even run you through how to play through an example game before you tackle a full game yourself.
If you’re getting into the game, this is the way to go, and we hope the price tag makes it easy to get into.
Warcry Hunter & Hunted:Â
Over in the Gnarlwood, stomachs are rumbling – those of the Mawpits and the pale, ravenousOgor Gorgerswho are determined to eat their fill of fresh meat in praise of the Gulping God.The Wildercorps Huntersare currently following the ogors’ foul scent with the aid of their loyal Trailhounds – but unluckily for them, they’re perfectly snack-sized for the Gorgers. They must rely on their expert knowledge of the wilderness – and an array of pointy implements – to fend off the salivating horrors in this new Warcry set, which features two warbands and an eternally hungry Mawpit.
GW has been loving the doggos lately, and this kit probably has the most ever in one kit. Plus, the Ogors are pretty awesome, but they aren’t dogs… so…
Warcry: Kruleboyz Monsta-killaz:Â
The Gnarlwood is home to much vicious flora and fauna, the perfect poaching grounds for the Kruleboyz. The Monsta-killazhunt, kill, and capturethese savage beasties to keep the stinking stables of the Beast-breaka tribes stocked. When out on the hunt, they employ tamed Gnarlwood Howlaz to flush out their quarry and dispatch surreptitious Klutcha-grots to steal the goodies.Â
It seems like every Warcry kit has some animal companion, but these models are all really cool sculpts overall!
Warcry Vulkyn Flameseekers:Â
Â
Though the Ur-Salamander Vulcatrix once killed the Fyreslayer god Grimnir, there are many who worship this powerful godbeast. Theydedicate their lives to hunting down Magmadroth eggs,along with the remnants of the Mother of Salamanders’ sacred flames. With war picks and shovel-like polearms, they raise and nurture Kyndledroths for the lodges, brooking no mercy to those who threaten to harm the free-roaming Magmadroths– though they won’t hesitate to put down any ‘droths that have become unstable.Â
Fyreslayers are always fun models, and everything in this box looks great.
Ravaged Lands Scales of Talaxis:Â
The ruins of theEye of Chotecare scattered throughout the Gnarlwood, curved jade ribs jutting out from its foetid swamps. These ruins are dire reminders of the catastrophe that once struck this place, and still pulse with cosmic power, setting the mire around them alight with crackling arcane energy. They’re also just right for fighters to leap off and dramatically stab unwary foes.Â
We saw this previewed not too long ago, but it’s much better to be able to buy it instead of just looking at it.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar WarbandsÂ
Originally released for Warhammer Underworlds,these warbands all have rules in Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and are getting a standalone release in grey plastic without their cards. The warbands are the Gorechosen of Dromm, Hexbane’s Hunters, The Shadeborn, Blackpowder’s Buccaneers, Da Kunnin’ Krew, Skittershank’s Clawpack, The Exiled Dead, and Xandire’s Truthseekers.
Like with all the warbands, you can use them in AoS, but they come with all the boxed game stuff. So now, you can buy the warbands without all the cards you wouldn’t need.
White Dwarf 493:
October’s issue ofWhite Dwarfis packed with amazing Warhammer content as always. There are new rules for a Warhammer Age of Sigmar narrative campaign, as well as new scenarios, and painting and gaming advice. The Warhammer 40,000 Tale of Four Warlords continues alongside Crusade rules for the Tome Keepers, while Warcry gets a dose of Courage and Cruelty with quests and artefacts for the Vulkyn Fyreslayers and Kruleboyz Monsta-killaz, and you can whet your appetite for the upcoming Legions Imperialis in an early battle report.Â
White Dwarf is always a fun pickup to get further into the hobby, and if you play Tyranids, you may want to grab this one!
