We’ve already met the well-armed Coyl from the next Warhammer Underworlds warband, The Exiled Dead. We can now lift the sheet from off the slab to reveal all of his friends for the first time – along with his warband leader, an awesome vampire necromancer!
That vampire is Deintalos the Exiled, a necromancer whose grisly experiments went too far for even those in Shyish. Can you imagine experimenting so much with necromancy that even Nagash asks you to knock it off? In Harrowdeep, far from prying eyes, he continues his work, assisted by his mortal apprentice Marcov.
Deintalos and his reanimated cadavers seek to uncover every secret in Harrowdeep. Much like Blackpowder's Buccaneers, the Exiled Dead offer a unique take on the inhabitants of the Mortal Realms – in this case, a real mad-scientist version of zombies.
The warband has several special tricks to help them emerge victorious in games of Warhammer Underworlds, including the fact that all of the minions – the arcwalkers Bault, Coyl, Ione, Vlash, and Marcov’s personal zombie Regulus – begin the game Inspired! With seven fighters, they can swarm over the board, claiming objectives while Deintalos casts spells and makes his creations danse to his macabre tune.
All of the arcwalkers – and Deintalos himself – are conductive fighters, making this spell a great way of overrunning the board. Alternatively, you could use it to gang up on a powerful fighter – such as fellow dead man Mir Kainan – and bring him down in a swarm of grasping hands.
Much like the arcwalkers, everyone at AdeptiCon has been animated by the force dynamic, and we’ve still got more to show off – don’t miss the rest of the big reveals.
We’ll have more on The Exiled Dead as we get closer to their release, plus updates on the next Warhammer Underworlds core set – sign up for our newsletter to keep up to date with the latest from Harrowdeep.
