New Shadespire Warbands & Dice Sets On The Way Soon
October 31, 2017 by brennon
Games Workshop has been showing off the new pre-orders for two new warbands in Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire as well as some accessories which might fit the bill for those looking to add some bling to their games.
The Sepulchral Guard and Ironskull's Boyz are the next warbands to be added into the game. By now we've talked about them a lot and you can find out more about them through our Unboxings which we've posted here on BoW.
Both warbands are certainly interesting and bring new mechanics to the game on the tabletop as well as plenty of additional options for going forward into the meta.
Dice To Meet You
As well as the new models for the warbands some specific sets of dice have also become available for pre-order which focus in on the four different factions.
The Stormcast Eternals from the original set as well as the Khorne Bloodbound are getting their own dice. Each set comes with some semi-translucent dice as well as three black dice for your own personal set.
In addition, the two new warbands also have their own themed dice with green for the Ironjawz...
...and purple for the Deathrattle selection; the shambling undead always gets the best colours.
While this is a simple colour change for the dice, it's nice to see Games Workshop adding a few ways to add some personality to your faction of choice.
Sleeve Your Cards
A similar approach is taken to the new card sleeves for both the Sepulchral Guard...
...and Ironskullz Boyz. So, if you want to add to your collection and keep all of the cards for your deck safe then these are now certainly an option.
Whether or not this game is going to actually be a hit is certainly something we'll find out in short order, but with tournaments planned by Games Workshop very soon, it will be interesting to see how it settles down within the gaming community.

Those are some neat looking special dice.
Don’t enjoy the game but I think they are doing good stuff with the price point and accessories on these, now if only we would see a few acrylic tokens rather than lying models down etc.
Why would you like a model down?
@hithero More thinking bloodbowl etc, however some slick tokens for charge etc could be a good edition. Drifted a bit interesting to see GW exploring the potential in accessories.
I’m not so bothered about lying models down (although if I was playing on a textured surface I might be) but I think a set of Acrylic Tokens would be a great way to up the game quality. The card tokens that come with their games look ok but card isn’t the most hard-wearing medium in the world
I’m going to get the Ironskulls!!!!
Already rederved both warbands in my local store xD
Love the game, and with this addons now I consider it “complete”, and can play without thinking too much in thr other warbands to come. I wanted the Undead one the most, so Objective Complete xD
Dice are cool but little pricy for my taste (already owning the ones from the core, they are just for the bling) and the sleeves look nice, but I prefer to buy something blinger xD
What I would love to see are a pack of extra tiles of maps, to play multiplayer games without needing another core box… for the time been, I will print me some,, but it’s not ideal.
