Warhammer Underworlds returns to the tabletop this weekend from the folks at Games Workshop with Harrowdeep. A new season, new rules, new ways of playing and of course some brand new Warhammer Age Of Sigmar miniatures.

Warhammer Underworlds brings its skirmishes to the Realm Of Shadow (Ulgu) where the Stormcast Eternals find themselves facing the Kruleboyz in an undersea labyrinth. On the one side, you have Xandire's Truthseekers who are seeking to bring light to the darkness.

Each of the miniatures in the set is armoured in the new Thunderstrike Armour that has been crafted by the Duardin god, Grugni. You get a nice mixed force which should give you good options for close combat and ranged engagements. I am a big fan of a cloak or hood (and any combination of the two) so it's neat to see that on display here.
As well as the Stormcast Eternals, we also have these dastardly-looking Orruks. Twisted and broken, these evil torturers and butchers have their own ideas as to what to do with the secrets uncovered in the depths of the labyrinth.

I am, as always, a big fan of the miniatures that we get as part of the Warhammer Underworlds range. I think it gives you a good snapshot of a particular faction and lets you have a pop at painting them without diving headfirst into a complete army.
The game of Warhammer Underworlds is pretty good fun too. Quick and easy to play, Warhammer Underworlds is a tight little tactical battle for two players to have a pop at. I like that it has been made a little more accessible with the addition of these Rivals decks. Move all the deckbuilding to the side and just get stuck in with a set of cards right out of the box.

I have been rather a fan of the underworlds sets they have been doing for a while. The figures are very nice and at a reasonable price. I think the combination of figures in this set is a little bit of puzzle for an underwater theme but they are very nice models. Even if I am not the biggest fan of the old style of stormcast model these ones tick all the boxes. The orks however are something quite special. The idea of a snatch and grab ork band running around. They are both odd, wonderful and going to be… Read more »
Aye – I think it’s a great entry point option for AoS. Nice to have everything you need bundled into one box.
I had bought into this game with the first two box sets, but I quickly realized that the competitive nature of this game was in the card race – and the only way to get the cards was to buy everything. That is when I gave up on it and sold everything – even though I enjoyed the game a lot. I think I will give it another shot with the introduction on the rival decks. First I want to see some reviews of how the game plays and if these decks truly solve the problem. If so I will… Read more »
The Orruks. Look great.
So what we have in here is more Sigmarines and some nicely sculpted hobgoblins. Really over all neither of those two appeal to me.
Could be tempted with this as deckbuilding really isn’t my thing, and the inherent “gamesy” abstraction that comes with the deckbuilding cardgame mindset has been why I didn’t get into the game, although I have bought a couple of factions over the years just to have the models. However…Stormcast Eternals…again…so still a no from me.
