Warhammer Underworlds is heading to the twisting caverns below the Gnarlwood for a new season and a new core set. A new season means fresh rules, more warbands, more Rivals decks, and much else besides as the conflict comes to Ghur.
Set in the hungry Gnarlwood, this season is set to last six months, and will pack in four warbands. First up are the two found in the core set, the beast-worshipping Gnarlspirit Pack and the rotting royal family of the skeletal Sons of Velmorn. Two more warbands will be released in due course, each packaged with their own personalised Rivals deck. Who are they? We can’t yet say, but keep your eyes on the treeline…
The Rivals format remains the most accessible version of Warhammer Underworlds, thanks to its simple deck-in-a-box approach. This season will bring players four universal Rivals decks that can be used with all warbands past and present – or combined with warband-specific cards in the new Nemesis format.
The Tooth and Claw and Daring Delvers decks come bundled in the Gnarlwood core set, while two more universal Rivals decks will be released separately, giving you a vast wealth of options for plundering the root-halls and smashing up your pal’s warbands – in a friendly way, of course.
Now we’ve cut through the tangled thicket of upcoming information with the razor-sharp edge of our shiny new roadmap, it’s time to talk about what’s on the way for the crucible of Organised Play.
Organised Play for Warhammer Underworlds is returning at the end of this month. Clashes return, including some held at Warhammer Stores, while League Support is also back and stores all over the world will soon be receiving an Organised Play pack to run competitions across the various formats. Each set comes with a blood-red trophy to be claimed by the most cunning and vicious player – on the tabletop, naturally.
Fans should speak to your local store manager to find out whether they’re participating, and how you can get involved.
Grand Clashes will meanwhile continue at the US Open events, alongside Mini Clashes at Warhammer World. The release of Gnarlwood will be followed by free celebratory Clashes at Warhammer Citadel in Grapevine, Texas, the Warhammer Store and Cafe in Los Angeles, and even the brand new Warhammer Store and Cafe in Tokyo!
The Warhammer Underworlds: Gnarlwood core set will give you everything you need to play the ultimate competitive board game.
