The Warhammer Underworlds battles beneath the Gnarlwood are set to intensify, as hot on the heels of Grinkrak’s Looncourt comes the next warband. Unleash the Har Kuron hurricane and leap, vault, and pirouette your way to glory with Gryselle’s Arenai.
These glorious gladiators enter the root-halls beneath the meat-eating forest with a simple mission – kill, kill, and kill again! As they hone their skills to an even deadlier degree, they praise their bloody god Khaine through acts of wanton carnage.
The warband are led by Gryselle the Slaughterer, a priest whose church is the gladiatorial arena and whose sermons are all practical demonstrations in spilling blood. Now, her faithful followers are heading to the Gnarlwood to slice their way through witch hunters, zombies, ogors, and anything else that gets in their way.
Each fighter in the warband has the same Acrobatic ability but don’t rely on it too much, as Gryselle’s faithful aren’t exactly flush with wounds – this is a warband which firmly believes that engineers shouldn’t build cannons out of metal when there’s perfectly good glass available. What they don’t share, however, are their Inspire conditions. Each aelf has a unique condition, representing a signature gladiator move to draw the attention of Khaine.
As befits such an aggressive warband, Gryselle’s Arenai has plenty of Objective cards in their Rivals deck that reward getting stuck in – keep charging, and Khaine himself will reward you with glory.
Scoring the warband’s Objective cards will involve getting the most out of your Flourish cards. These new Ploys represent the dazzling skills of Gryselle’s Arenai – but you’ll have to be careful about selecting when to use them as they come with a drawback alongside a powerful ability.
Want to use your Flourish again? Upgrade Gryselle with Mistress of the Bladestorm, and return them to your hand at the start of the round. Perfect for when a trick is so good that you just have to show it off again.
Gryselle and her gladiators will be leaving the arena to head to the Gnarlwood soon. In the meantime, we’ve still got loads more to show you from the Las Vegas Open, so dance over to the hub page to catch up with all the big reveals.
