Yesterday, we showed off the Warhammer Underworlds Starter Set, which is the ideal way to get new players into the game. Whether you want to build on that set or you’re looking to catch up on some of the cards you missed in previous seasons, the Warhammer Underworlds Essential Card pack is ideal.
After you’ve learned the basics of Warhammer Underworlds with the Starter Set, you’re ready to take on the next challenge – building your own deck! By putting together your own objectives, ploys, and upgrades you can make your warband play in whichever style you want.
The cards in the Essential Card Pack are all universal cards, which means they can be used with any warband, from the Storm of Celestus and Drepur’s Wraithcreepers included in the Starter Set to any of the warbands from previous seasons.
Prefer to claim objective tokens and score your glory that way? Take Tactical Supremacy 1-2 and Tactical Supremacy 3-4 in your decks.
If you’d rather crush your enemies with brute force, Annihilation will be more up your street.
Or how about you let your opponent do all the hard work and then just steal from them. You’ll want to include the super sneaky Daylight Robbery in that case.
However you plan your decks, the 20 objective, 20 gambit, and 20 upgrade cards in the Warhammer Underworlds Essential Card Pack will allow you to support your chosen warband’s strengths and help mitigate its weaknesses.
Once you’ve created your first decks, you’ll be ready to delve even deeper into Warhammer Underworlds. You could pick up a new warband such as the lightning-fast Rippa’s Snarlfangs, the indomitable Wurmspat, or the latest fighters, the Starblood Stalkers, whose tricks and tactics we had a closer look at last month. Or grab the Direchasm boxed set to get two warbands, along with extra boards AND even more cards.
Existing Warhammer Underworlds players will be excited to know that the cards in this set won’t be rotated out in future seasons, meaning that classics such as Plant a Standard, Duel of Wits, and Great Fortitude will remain staples in decks for years to come.
The Warhammer Underworlds Essential Card Pack will be available to pre-order from Saturday, along with the new Warhammer Underworlds Starter Set. If this is your first time playing this competitive miniatures game, join us over on the Facebook page where everyone will make you welcome.
