Games Workshop has begun to plot out the roadmap for Warhammer Underworlds and the new edition of the game. As well as that, they also showed off the returning warbands that will be getting a revamped physical release with both miniatures and cards for organised play.

Year One Roadmap // Warhammer Underworlds

Good news for those wanting to get into the game to begin with. The Embergard Core Game will remain the same throughout the entire edition. This is great for those wanting to get into the game because they have one point of call with which to begin.

From there, new warbands are going to be coming out this year and throughout all of 2025. A new warband plus a new Rivals Deck means that you can combine Warscrolls with a collection of new rules and mechanics.

Talking of warbands, a whole host of returning Warhammer Underworlds warbands are going to be coming back across four Grand Alliance packs. These cover Order, Destruction, Death and Chaos.

Grand Alliance Boxed Sets // Warhammer Underworlds

These sets are great for those who want to get their hands on miniatures that might become hard to get a hold of over the last few years. You will also get the relevant Warscrolls and Fighter cards for each of the factions. You just need to combine them with a Rivals Deck from the Core Game and away you go. Each of the four warbands in the set also suits one particular playstyle from the new Warhammer Underworlds deck but of course, you can mix and match.

Inside the Order set, you'll get...

Ylthari's Guardians // Warhammer Underworlds

Thundrik's Profiteers // Warhammer Underworlds

Myari's Purifiers // Warhammer Underworlds

Hexbane's Hunters // Warhammer Underworlds

If you prefer the taint of Chaos then you can also get this set which contains...

The Dread Pageant // Warhammer Underworlds

Khagra's Ravagers // Warhammer Underworlds

Gorechosen Of Dromm // Warhammer Underworlds

Ephilim's Pandaemonium // Warhammer Underworlds

The forces of Destruction have also been drawn to Embergard by the thrill of combat and the lure of that emberstone that would be perfect for all manner of different rituals that you concoct...

Morgok's Krushas // Warhammer Underworlds

Grinkrak's Looncourt // Warhammer Underworlds

Da Kunnin Krew // Warhammer Underworlds

Blackpowder's Buccaneers // Warhammer Underworlds

Last but not least, the forces of Death will be doing the bidding of Nagash and seeking out places of power for their dark and terrible master.

The Headsmen's Curse // Warhammer Underworlds

The Grymwatch // Warhammer Underworlds

The Crimson Court // Warhammer Underworlds

Kainan's Reapers // Warhammer Underworlds

For those who already have the miniatures here, you can also buy the Warbands Of Embergard set which will come with just the cards for all sixteen of the warbands above.

Warbands Of Embergard // Warhammer Underworlds

All of these sets are going to be available shortly after the release of the new Embergard Core Game alongside the two brand new Warbands and Rivals decks. That means twenty warbands and six decks will be available physically at release.

All other Warbands from the history of Warhammer Underworlds will get digital Fighter cards and Warscrolls for free. These will be available for those wanting to make use of classic warbands that might have come out during the early days of Warhammer Underworlds. There will be a rotation in effect for those diving into organised play at stores and clubs running tournaments but otherwise, you will have free reign. Some older warbands might also get completely new rules to update them in the future!

Could you be tempted to dive back into Warhammer Underworlds or maybe start fresh?
