Warhammer Underworlds Welcomes Two New Quirky Warbands This Week
October 2, 2018 by brennon
Games Workshop is keeping things ticking over with Warhammer Underworlds this weekend as two new warbands will be joining the fight to claim glory and riches amongst the Mirrored City.
The first of these warbands if focused on the powerful sorcerers of Tzeentch. Eyes Of The Nine makes full use of the new magic mechanics that were introduced in Nightvault.
Vortemis The All-Seeing is capable of bringing a lot of spells to the tabletop and can even summon daemons to aid him as well. Each of these characters offers up a new and unique challenge when it comes to gameplay, adding another level of depth to the developing meta in Warhammer Underworlds.
Conniving Grots
As well as these powerful sorcerers we also have some mad Grots as Zarbag's Gitz, part of the Moonclan, go raiding the Nightvault in search of secrets.
There are nine characters in this warband, more than any before, and this opens up entirely new tactical avenues. Of course, they are all a bit of a pushover so you're going to have to work out how best to employ them whilst also watching them die in spectacular fashion.
It's really great to get more of a handle on how the Grotz are shaping up for the world of Age Of Sigmar and hopefully this means we're going to be seeing more of them in the future to compliment the Orruks that already exist.
Old Heroes
As well as the new warbands, you'll still be able to pick up the two warbands from the original Shadespire Starter Set. Steelheart's Champions and Garrek's Reavers will be available with new decks tuned to fit with Nightvault.
All of the old cards are also going to be available separately in a new set called Echoes Of Glory. So, if you fancy catching up but avoiding getting the models then you have options there too.
Which of the new warbands are you tempted by?

Not thrilled I’ll need to rebuy the old warbands just to get the new cards. Hopefully they will sell the cards separately as I already bought 2 of each of the Shadespire bands and do NOT want to have to buy more for cards.
Mate, just quoting young Ben’s last paragraph “All of the old cards are also going to be available separately in a new set called Echoes of Glory” …. I think that answers your concern
I think it was more the decks with the warbands have been revamped, if that means brand new cards or just content tweaks from existing who knows.
Another reason I am glad I am only interested for the minis
It’s exactly the opposite problem. I already have the original cards. It’s nice they are making the old cards available to new players but I’d like to get the “revamped” decks for the warbands I already own. Hopefully they make the new cards available separately for existing players. That would solve the issue neatly. I don’t even know how significant the changes are but the completist in me will chafe at not having the “correct” cards.
No interest in the game but they are nice minis, I will be picking up those gobbos eventually – they are real stand outs
Finally a Tzeentch warband for Warhammer Underworlds.
Sigmarines aside (I’m just allergic to them!) the Underworlds minis are in my opinion some of the best they have produced using CAD sculpting and hard plastic. Which is ironic, given this is a boardgame, not wargame!
Those Tzeentch models are my favorites from those but those Goblins do look really good as well.
