The Uthuk Y’llan Are Rampaging Into RuneWars From Fantasy Flight Games
June 27, 2017 by brennon
The world of RuneWars is getting its fourth faction later this year as Fantasy Flight Games revealed the Uthuk Y’llan and their chaotic beasts!
As a fan of the deckbuilder card game from the same Fantasy universe, it's great to see these wild and rampaging warriors coming to the tabletop led by the vile and devious Ravos The Everhungry.
This fellow is looking superb and as you might have guessed from his name he is quite the bloodthirsty warrior in combat. Because of his thirst for battle he can do a fair bit of harm to units around him, but the sheer presence of him on the battlefield also panics his foes.
Warriors & Beasts
Running into battle on his orders we have the Berserkers who are your standard line troops for this army of the damned.
Because of the nature of how they fight, completely uncaring for their own welfare, they can add the Lethal keyword to their attacks for an advantage in combat and are so wild and crazy making them break is fairly hard to do!
We mentioned beasts as well and that's where the Fleshrippers come in.
These creatures and wild and erratic as a cavalry choice and therefore will be hard to pin down. Add to that the fact that they can rage and slash at units doing extra damage when they're engaged and you'll want to kill these creatures at range.
Last but not least we have the Spined Thresher which is the big beastie that will be going up against the Rune Golems and Carrion Lancers out there.
It is Brutal, Steadfast against Fear and even gets the ability to re-roll dice when the enemy is panicking. This is a truly nasty looking shock troop to use on your enemy.
If you want to learn more about the army and take a look at their dials you can delve into the Fantasy Flight Games article HERE.
What do you make of the Uthuk Y’llan?

Those are really good.
I kinda liked the elves, these are very cool – urgh don’t need another game
Very excited about the armies for Runewars getting fleshed out as I think the core rules are awesome. Think the elves would still be my army of choice but man those Fleshrippers are cool! Az
Some of these may find their way into my use for my dark sun campaign.
nice.
Agreed on those fleshrippers. My wallet was feeling pretty smug until I scrolled those into view.
definitely feeling the pull of a new game now, perhaps it’s time to sell some old models.
I like the Fleshrippers and Spined Thresher.
A great game just became even better!
They kind of look like that a certain purple/blue creature from another company to me …
Except these do look like they’re going to rip your flesh …
