Games Workshop has been previewing what's available this weekend to pre-order for Warhammer: Age Of Sigmar and The Mortal Realms. Warhammer Underworlds is the focus as two new warbands head to Direchasm.

Deep within the bowels of the living mountain that is Beastgrave, new caverns have opened up and revealed glittering ancient treasures. Those who are bold enough to delve deep enough will find themselves richly rewarded.
Two new warbands are included in this set starting with the Lumineth Realm-lords and the Myari’s Purifiers.
Myari's Purifiers // Warhammer Underworlds
These miniatures represent the mighty Aelves who have been tasked with trying to calm the mountain and its rage. You've got a bunch of cool miniatures here which represent the style that we've come to know for the Lumineth whilst also carrying through some fun nods to The World That Was and Warhammer Fantasy Battles.
I think these might work as a fun way to dip your toe into what Age Of Sigmar has to offer. Warhammer Underworlds is a quick game to play and the miniatures are all unique and quick to build meaning that it works perfectly as an entry point into The Mortal Realms.
You've also got these brutal and deadly additions to the Hedonites Of The Dread Pageant.

Whilst the Lumineth Realm-lords are looking to calm the mountain, these Slaaneshii worshippers are enjoying the pain and suffering that they bring to the mountain. As they tease and torture their foes they deny the mountain its carcasses which help fuel their passion for excess.
This is another excellent looking set of miniatures which bring together lots of different takes on Slaanesh over the years. The beastman in particular (bottom right) reminds me of Blanche's artwork. You've also got all of that intricate scar work to paint across the legs of the champion in the bottom left.
Are you tempted by this new adventure into Warhammer Underworlds?

I like the hedonites figures.
The Lumineth are a bit static and the mountain bases are quite strange, but I like the Hedonites.
And I can’t wait for the Chaos adn Lizardmen warbans adn hopefully a vampire one:

Your Hedonites are great. I’d love to see a whole regiment of those pervy beastmen (slaangors?)
From those two warbands Hedonites are best looking one.
So many feet on so many rocks…
I actually like the Hedonites, although the leader could have a more interesting pose.
The Lumineth are … well, the leader and the Stonewarden are ok (apart from the helmet, but different topic), but not great. The archer is completely bland and the mage, best not talk about that one. Also, do they really need the bonsai mountain theme?
Would’ve been neat if the Hedonites were a full Warcry style warband, I think I would buy that.
Can’t say I’m a fan of the new ‘Not High Elf’ faction, and these models look more like miniatures of bad cosplayers
