Warhammer Underworlds

Under the sea. Under the sea. That's where the next season of Warhammer Underworlds is headed. Though the beach season is coming to a close here in the northern hemisphere, it's just getting there down in the south. And, as such, Games Workshop will be headed to the Harrowdeep for this next round of releases.

From the article:

The doors have opened at Gen Con 2021, one of the biggest tabletop gaming events in the world. As the crowds pour in, they’re getting a first glimpse at the future of Warhammer. 

Obviously, we couldn’t let them have ALL the fun, so we’ll be here over the next few days sharing the massive reveals with you, and we’ve got some really BIG things to show you.  

So grab a torch as we’re kicking things off with a peek at the shadowy core set for the new season of Warhammer Underworlds.

...

Harrowdeep is the biggest ever core set for Warhammer Underworlds. With all of the boards, cards, tokens, and dice you need to get started, it’s the ideal way to jump into the new season.

Wait, did we mention that the two warbands in the box are new and incredible? Reflecting the matchups in Dominion and the Warhammer Age of Sigmar Starter Sets, Harrowdeep pits Kruleboyz orruks against the Stormcast Eternals. Each of these stunning models is a classic example of what makes their faction unique.

"Boids! He keeps boids! ... ... ... Boids!" You'll be able to get your own boid... I mean, bird, with the upcoming releases for Warhammer Underworlds. Get yourselves a look at Taros, a new Aetherwing coming to the game soon.

From the article:

We recently showed off Gikkit, the first model from the fifth season of Warhammer Underworlds. Now it’s time to meet one of his opponents, who’ll be attempting to thwart him and the rest of Da Kunnin’ Krew. 

Look to the skies – Taros is on the way.

Taros is an Aetherwing who accompanies Xandire’s Truthseekers into battle. Sleek and swift, Taros is an expert hunter, gliding above the battlefield before swooping to savage its prey with a sharpened beak. Famed in Azyr and beyond for the bonds they form with the Stormcast Eternals, these celestial hawks are the perfect partners for the God-King’s chosen.

The 4th season of Warhammer Underworlds is coming to a close (it was Direchasm, if anyone was curious). So, does that mean that's it? Of course not! It just means Season 5 is on the way. And Games Workshop is showing off the first mini for this new season, Gikkit.

From the article:

Direchasm, the fourth season of Warhammer Underworlds, has been incredible – we’ve seen amazing new warbands from factions such as the Ossiarch Bonereapers (Kainan’s Reapers), and Slaves to Darkness (Khagra’s Ravagers), and who could forget the crab?* Now it’s time to take a look into the future of Warhammer Underworlds with the first model for the fifth season

The world of Warhammer Underworlds is getting just a bit more deadly as the new Arena Mortis box is now available to pre-order from Games Workshop. Get your gladiator prepped and hit the arena floor. Will you be the one walking out triumphant or laying facedown on the floor?

From the announcement:

The clash of steel rings out in the dark once more as individual heroes come to blows in the latest update to Arena Mortis, available for pre-order today. This popular expansion for Warhammer Underworlds is fast, fun, and violent, but more importantly you can play as Duinclaw, the mightiest crab of all. How many other games let you fight vampires with a crustacean?*

In the dark depths of the living mountain, lone heroes battle over precious treasures in the updated Arena Mortis boxed set for Warhammer Underworlds. This expansion to the main game sees singular champions fight it out in intense three- to six-player scrums, designed for fast-paced gameplay and jolly multiplayer fun. 

Arena Mortis contains a newly updated rulebook, double-sided game board, 40 universal cards, and all the tokens you need. In fact, whether you have the Starter Set, a copy of Warhammer Underworlds: Direchasm or even a core set from an older season, you’ll be ready to jump right in with just this box.

Warhammer Underworld's favorite arena combat style is getting itself an upgrade. Arena Mortis brings you down from even a small warband of fighters to just a single combatant against their foes. Get a look at the new version and some of the special cards therein with this preview.

From the article:

In Warhammer Underworlds, we’re used to commanding warbands of varied fighters, but have you ever wondered how one of your heroes would fare on their own? 

Arena Mortis lets you pick a champion and challenge other Warhammer Underworlds warriors in swift, uncompromising battles for supremacy. Those clashes now take place in Direchasm’s death pits which might eat your fighter if you’re not careful – be warned.

Fans of Arena Mortis’ fast-paced 3-6 player scraps can look forward to a whole new edition which is on the way soon. Expect sharper rules, gory hazards, and a collection of universal cards that can be used in all games of Warhammer Underworlds.

As usual, Games Workshop put up a bunch of stuff for pre-order over in their webshop. What's the new stuff this week? Well, there's the new Adeptas Sororitas book and kits for 40k. There's the new House of Faith book and figures for Necromunda. And then there's the sea-faring gang for Direchasm. Have yourselves a look.

From the announcement:

If it seems like it’s getting hot in here, that’ll be all the flamers carried by this week’s pre-orders. Not only are the Sisters of the Adepta Sororitas making their way in full force to Warhammer 40,000, but down in the underhive, the ultra-zealous Redemptionists are also starting to set the world on fire. If you’ve ever thought about giving yourself over to the Ruinous Powers, this might be a week to reconsider.

Oh, and a giant crab has come to Warhammer Underworlds too. We can’t forget about the crab.

Games Workshop is following up this last week's big Age of Sigmar pre-release week with a big 40k and Necromunda week. Though, if you're playing Direchasm, there's stuff for you, too. Even some Aeronautica Imperialis thrown in from Forge World for good measure.

From the preview:

As those of you who play some of the phenomenal Warhammer video games on offer may know, every year Khorne himself graces us with his attention and rewards those who reap a hefty tally of skulls in his name. Well, it’s that time of year again, so put on your Slaying Hat,* and take a look at the details on the next Warhammer Skulls event.

We also have a massive crop of pre-orders on the way next Saturday, including a High Lord of Terra, Redemptionists in the underhive, and an Idoneth Deepkin warband making their way to Direchasm.

It was a shotgun blast of releases over in the Games Workshop web-shop this past weekend. There's the new Adeptus Mechanicus book for 40k. There's also new minis for various factions. The Soulblight Gravelords in Age of Sigmar also got a bunch of releases. There's even a new Direchasm gang to pick up.

From the article:

We’ve got something for everyone today with a veritable tsunami of pre-orders available right now. If you missed last week’s Sunday Preview and need a reminder of what you can pre-order today, read on.

The Kainan’s Reapers are the new gang for Direchasm that are coming to the Games Workshop pre-order page this weekend. But what are these bony baddies capable of? We get a look at exactly that in this preview.

From the article:

Direchasm has been a great season for Warhammer Underworlds so far. We’ve seen many factions making their debuts in the game, such as the Seraphon with the Starblood Stalkers and the savage orruks in the form of Hedkrakka’s Madmob. With the new Ossiarch Bonereapers warband, Kainan’s Reapers, available to pre-order from Saturday, it’s time to show off the cards that come with the awesome, sinister models.

Source

While Nagash isn't going himself into the world of Direchasm, he has sent some representatives in the form of Kainan's Reapers. These undead warriors are up soon for the game, and GW is giving us a look at some of the special rules that make them stand out from the regular, living gangs out there.

From the article:

Hot on the heels of Hedkrakka’s Madmob come Kainan’s Reapers, the first-ever Ossiarch Bonereapers warband for Warhammer Underworlds. Sadly, we couldn’t get hold of Nagash to learn why he sent the Reapers to Beastgrave, but we do have the next best thing – Warhammer Underworlds’ designer, Dave Sanders.

It's most a trio of games that's got new pre-orders up over on the Games Workshop website. First off, there's the new Necromunda 2-player starter set. But there's also the new Ork gang for Warhammer Underworlds: Direchasm. Plus, there's some new Blood Bowl accessories and a new pitch to check out.

From the announcement:

We’re just about reaching the end of Warhammer Fest Online (you especially don’t want to miss today’s instalment – trust us), and it’s time to get the pre-orders back up and running. We had a look earlier this week at the contents of the new Necromunda starter set, and there are also new releases for Warhammer Underworlds and Blood Bowl on the way.

Source

Warhammer Fest Online continues. Weren't able to make it to all the announcement streams? That's fine, because you can get a quick overview of it all here. Today, it's all about Warhammer Underworlds, Necromunda, and Aeronautica Imperialis. If you're a player of any of those games, you'll not want to miss out on what's coming.

From the article:

Welcome to day four of Warhammer Fest Online. So far this week, we’ve met a new god of Destruction, seen reinforcements for the Adepta Sororitas, and had a first look at the Black Library books you’ll be reading soon.

We’ve got a model you’ve been asking about for years, the sneakiest spies, and something a little fishy. So put another pair of socks on, because we’re about to knock off the ones you’re wearing.

Source

Hedkrakka's Madmob is the new Ork mob coming for Direchasm. If you're looking to get these new savage Orks, you'll want to check out this preview. They've got their stat cards as well as the deck of cards that they come with as well.

From the article:

Hedkrakka’s Madmob is available to pre-order from Saturday, so we’re showing off ALL of the cards that come with the latest Direchasm warband and focusing on a few of our favourites.

As we saw in our recent chat with Warhammer Underworlds’ lead designer Dave Sanders, Hedkrakka’s Madmob is a flexible warband, capable of dishing out damage, casting spells, or jumping onto objectives. They were also brought to Beastgrave thanks to a talking snake, but nobody’s perfect.

Source

Hedkrakka's Mob will be making their impact known in Warhammer Underworlds: Direchasm soon. What was the design theories used for this group? We get a look at that as GW has sat down with Dave Sanders, head designer for the game. Find out what he had to say in this interview.

From the post:

Hedkrakka’s Madmob is coming to Direchasm soon – can they throw a spanner in the plans of warbands such as the Starblood Stalkers and Khagra’s Ravagers? We sat down with Warhammer Underworlds lead designer Dave Sanders to find out. After he’d finished bellowing “Waaagh!”, here’s what he had to say.

Games Workshop has quite a big set of pre-releases now available. There's some Blood Bowl. There's some Warhammer Underworlds. There's some Adeptus Titanicus. There's a new issue of White Dwarf. Head on over and check them all out.

From the announcement:

This is a great week for new releases. Today you can pre-order a Starter Set and a warband for Warhammer Underworlds, the latest White Dwarf, buckets of Blood Bowl goodies, and a brand new class of Titan which is leading the charge for a wave of Adeptus Titanicus releases.

Warhammer Underworlds is getting itself a new starter set. Pre-orders for it will be coming this weekend. But what's inside it? What are the heroes? What components does it come with? Glad you asked. We get a look at just that in this preview.

From the article:

If you’ve been looking to dip your toe into the (shade)glassy waters of Warhammer Underworlds, the new Starter Set, which is up for pre-order this weekend, is the way to do it. Designed from the ground up to be the easiest, most accessible way to get involved, it includes everything you need to get started. Let’s take a peek at what’s in the box and discover why it’s great for getting into the game.

A small group of very powerful vampires, the Crimson Court is looking to drain their foes dry of blood. How do they do this? Well, we get a look at exactly that in this preview, with a look at all their stat cards coming for Warhammer Underworlds.

From the preview:

Led by the cunning Prince Duvalle, the vampire warband known as the Crimson Court found their way into the living mountain by chance, and they’re wasting no time sampling the buffet of prey inside. With both physical and magical power at their fingertips, the vampires are hell-bent on making Direchasm their newest and greatest hunting ground.

As we found out in January’s Warhammer Preview Online, the Crimson Court are an aggressive warband that must manage their unique mechanic, Bloodthirst, to excel on the battlefield. 

While control of their Hunger brings special abilities and is required for Inspiration, the savage bloodlust that takes over, should their thirst run rampant, comes with its own benefits too. After all, a burst of murderous fury might be just what you need to crack open the walking bags of blood we call mortals.

There's a lot of things coming to the Games Workshop webshop this weekend. There's new Warhammer Underworlds kits and boxes. There's a new Blood Bowl book and figures. And then there's <whoop! whoop! whoop!>, thank you, Giant Robot Alert, a couple of new Adeptus Titanicus books and kits.

From the article:

We’ve got an especially packed week of pre-orders coming up, with new releases for Warhammer Underworlds, Adeptus Titanicus, and Blood Bowl on the way. And if you’re a fan of the Horus Heresy, make sure you don’t miss the hardback release of possibly the most revelatory Primarchs novel ever written.

Vampires are tough opponents at any time, but they are decided more powerful at night, when their movement isn't inhibited by the sun. That's going to be an issue in Cursed City, as the players must worry about the waxing and waning of enemy power thanks to the day/night cycle included in the game.

From the article:

Ulfenkarn lives under the thumb of its vampiric overlords. When the pallid daylight gives out, the evil creatures that stalk the streets grow even stronger.

Your band of adventurers use a Kharadron skyvessel called the Adamant as their base of operations, and they slip into the city to complete their various missions. We explored a few different types of journey you can take into Ulfenkarn earlier this week, if you missed it. When your heroes have completed their objective, they call for the ship to retrieve them before they face the full fury of Radukar’s servants. 

During your games, the passing of time is represented by a daytime tracker, which slowly ticks away until nightfall – that’s when things get nasty.

Jelsen Darrock (and his hat) will be making their way down the streets of Cursed City soon. Want to know what this highly-armed executioner can do in the game? That's just what we get a look at in this preview for the upcoming Warhammer Underworlds set.

From the article:

You’ve discovered the tragic history of Ulfenkarn and seen the glorious board pieces that make up the environment of the Cursed City. Now, with the co-operative game going up for pre-order in a matter of days, it’s time to check out the character and hostile reference cards for Warhammer Quest: Cursed City.

We’ve already met notorious vampire hunter Jelsen Darrock who, along with other heroes such as Octren Glimscry, Qulathis the Exile, and Brutogg Corpse-Eater, is seeking to save Ulfenkarn. Each of these brave warriors has their own card which tells you their key stats such as movement, defence, the attack values of their various weapons, and any special skills that they possess. Here is Jelsen’s card.

Bleh! Bleh! I vant to sook your bloood! Bleh! Bleh! Ok, so that's a terrible impersonation of a really cheesy vampire. The Crimson Court would probably be pretty mad at me for that. They're a new warband coming for Warhammer Underworlds, and we get a preview of them in this post.

From the website:

Hot on the heels of the release of the Starblood Stalkers, the Crimson Court is the next warband for Warhammer Underworlds. In anticipation of their release, we put our stakes away and sat down in a dark room with Warhammer Underworlds’ lead designer Dave Sanders to learn a little bit more about them.

It's been a couple weeks, and Games Workshop is making up for it with this week's pre-releases. There's quite a lot going on, from the new Drukhari codex for 40k, to a new campaign book, to a new box set. There's not just 40k, though, as there's a new warband for Warhammer Underworlds. There's even Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game and Blood Bowl to check out.

From the update:

The dark denizens of Commorragh are raiding the webstore this week, with Codex: Drukhari and Warhammer 40,000: Piety and Pain leading the way. Don’t miss the opening act of War Zone Charadon either, as a Chaos invasion threatens to engulf a critical sector in the next series of narrative supplements for the 41st Millennium.

Warhammer Underworlds is getting itself another new addition. Games Workshop has announced that the Ossiarch Bonereapers are getting themselves a warband. Head on over and check out the first mini preview as well as inf about when this set will be available.

From the article:

With its fourth season, Warhammer Underworlds is in the best shape it’s ever been. Khagra’s Ravagers are already hard at work desecrating Direchasm, while we’ve also had a glimpse of the Starblood Stalkers, Crimson Court, and Hedkrakka’s Mad Mob. Now, the next warband really has a bone to pick with you.

As one or two of you may have guessed from the logo on previous road map articles, the seventh warband for Direchasm are drawn from the ranks of the Ossiarch Bonereapers. Now, we’re not just going to show off any member of Kainan’s Reapers, oh no, we’re going to show off the main skeleton himself – say hello to Mir Kainan.

This is the first time that we’ve seen a Mortisan Executioner in the Mortal Realms, and as you might expect from someone who carries such a big axe, he’s pretty handy in a fight.* But who will be joining the Reapers as the final warband of season four? Looks like something fishy is going on with the updated road map.

Games Workshop is doing another of their big video previews this weekend of stuff they're working on. If you want to check out what's in the works for 40k, Necromunda, Age of Sigmar, or Warhammer Underworlds, you'll want to tune in.

From the post:

Did you think we’d shown off EVERYTHING in The Dead and the Divine and Lords of the Mortal Realms Warhammer Previews Online? Were you under the impression that New Model Mondays had filled in ALL of the gaps? Allow us to restore your faith next weekend with the massive reveals we’ll be showing off in the upcoming Warhammer Preview Online: Faith & Damnation.
