It’s Adepticon 2022 week and Games Workshop kicked it off with a preview of things to come. A new warband for Warhammer Underworlds: Harrowdeep was revealed during the evening, The Exiled Dead!
This new undead warband has been teased already and features a Necromantic Vampire who has been exiled for his experiments.
It’s a new take on zombies and walkers mixing in mad-scientist experiments with the classic zombie trope.
This warband is sure to be picked up not only because it looks and sounds awesome to play but for the kitbashing opportunities.
Warhammer Underworlds: Harrowdeep has opened up a whole new world for the miniature board game with all new tactics and themes. Having to do with water, it’s only natural we’d get some pirates to do battle with. Blackpowder’s Buccaneers is the first warband expansion after the boxed set release.
Blackpowder’s Buccaneers feature an ogre pirate, his gnobblar crew, and of course his pet parrot and a monkey… a monkey with a knife!
Out in 2022, this new warband features its own complete deck allowing players to jump right into the new Rivals format.
Games Workshop has revealed next week’s pre-orders and it’s a mix of fantasy and future!
Warhammer Underworlds: Harrowdeep is here with a whole new box set featuring two new warbands. The shadow realm of Ulgu is a murky place at the best of times, and it takes brave souls indeed to journey into the dark fastness beneath the Shadow Sea in search of spoils and glory. Enter the terrifying labyrinth known as Harrowdeep.
The box set features new universal cards, new Grand Alliance cards, cards for Order, Chaos, Death, and Destruction warbands, and more. There are also new mechanics like Gloom tokens which hide objectives from view.
There are also two new warbands, the Thunderstrike-armoured Stormcast Eternals, Xandire’s Truthseekers, and Kruleboyz, Da Kunnin’ Krew.
If you order the set through the Games Workshop website, you’ll also get a set of acrylic objective tokens while supplies last.
Head to the Octarius sector with War Zone Octarius Book 1: Rising Tide. Inquisitor Kryptmann’s meddling has brought Hive Fleet Leviathan into the heart of a colossal Ork empire. Tyranids will feature new synaptic abilities, while Cadia’s remaining regiments are marshaled.
Octarius Mission Pack: Containment sees the return of deadly Planetstrike missions to Warhammer 40,000. It features 21 narrative play scenarios for Crusade campaigns.
And what’s a game without dice!? Get these new dice featuring the sigil of Ordo Xenos!
Forge World has some releases as well!
Sons of Horus Legion Praetors lead the disciplined armies of the Warmaster into combat. They’re exceptional commanders who have no problem leading from the front.
Legion Mk IV Destroyer Squad shoulder the burden of having to wield grotesque weapons. Rad weapons, phosphex bombs, and even worse are among their arsenal.
Two classic Horus Heresy books are going to be released in softback. Book Three: Extermination follows the aftermath of the Istvaan V Dropsite Massacre, as the Heresy sweeps outwards across Imperial space and the Emperor’s loyal Legions race to respond. The Burning of Prospero reaches its apocalyptic climax in Book Seven: Inferno as the Space Wolves unleash their fury upon the Thousand Sons.
A new modeling release is out as well. Citadel Colour Tufts allows you to add some greenery to your bases with Verdia Veldt and Mordian Corpsegrass.
Finally, the second issue of Warhammer 40,000: Sisters of Battle will be released with an exclusive variant cover.
At Gen Con 2021, Games Workshop revealed the next season of Warhammer Underworlds. Warhammer Underworlds: Harrowdeep plunges beneath the waves with a new starter featuring everything you need.
The new starter set features boards, cards, tokens, dice, and two warbands to begin the new season. Kruleboyz Orruks and Stormcast Eternals battle it out to start things off.
Coming from the swamp is the Da Kunnin’ Krew:
To oppose them are Xandire’s Truthseekers:
You’ll be able to use both warbands in Warhammer: Age of Sigmar as they come with rules for that game as well.
Harrowdeep is a shadowy location deep beneath the seas of Ulgu. A forgotten dungeon lies within where darkness reigns. The new location brings new rules of fighting in the Realm of Shadows and the shrouded part of the battlefield.
The box set also includes the new “Rivals format” making it more accessible. Pre-made decks are included to bring balance and allow players to jump right in. Championship format is still around and not going anywhere.
Warhammer Underworlds: Harrowdeep also features new cards including universal cards and Grand-Alliance-specific ones providing something new for veteran players.
