via Games Workshop

Warhammer Underworlds: Gnarlwood $95

The Mortal Realms are vast beyond imagining, and so much of their seemingly endless expanse remains unexplored and untamed. For centuries this was true of the Gnarlwood – a vast forest that lies in the Realm of Beasts. The gnarloaks that grow here are capable of uprooting themselves to hunt for prey – now warbands are plunging deep below the canopy of the trees, to challenge their rivals and fight for ancient secrets left buried beneath the soil.

The ultimate competitive miniatures game enters the Era of the Beast with the Warhammer Underworlds: Gnarlwood Core Set. This box is stuffed with everything you need to start playing games in the nightmare forest of Ghur, including two complete warbands, four decks of cards, dice, tokens, boards, and more.

Warhammer Underworlds is a deck-based strategy game of skirmish battles set in Warhammer Age of Sigmar’s Mortal Realms. It’s full of big action, clever combinations and tricks, and fast-paced gameplay. You’ll be able to get started right away with the four complete 32-card Rivals decks included in the box – one for the Gnarlspirit Pack, one for the Sons of Velmorn, and two universal Rivals decks for any warband. If you wish, you can even tailor your own deck using universal cards from other Warhammer Underworlds expansions for near-endless strategic depth.

This set contains:

– A complete and concise rulebook for Warhammer Underworlds – reformatted to make getting started even easier. Gnarlwood puts a greater emphasis on Rivals decks, offering new ways to mix up your games and keep things fresh and balanced. The riveting background material moves the game to Ghur, in keeping with current events in the Warhammer Age of Sigmar setting

– The complete Gnarlspirit Pack warband. This group of Darkoath warriors pillage and raid the forest in the name of their patron spirits, led by a shaman-warrior as they live off the land. Quickly assemble your warband with four push-fit models, cast in a ruddy brown to stand out even when unpainted, complete with fighter cards and a full Rivals deck

– The complete Sons of Velmorn warband. These ancient undead nobles once ruled the forest, but now the Wight King Velmorn leads his four skeletal descendants, including the massive Sir Jedran Falseborn. With five push-fit models in an ancient bone colour, plus fighter cards and a pre-made Rivals deck, you’ll be ready to battle at once

– 2 additional universal Rivals decks – Tooth and Claw, and Daring Delvers

– 2 double-sided game boards to represent the sinister root-ridden caverns beneath the slavering gnarloaks

– Warhammer Underworlds tokens, including objectives, wound markers, glory points, and many, many more

– 11 dice – 5 Attack dice, 3 Defence dice and 3 Magic dice, enough for the most devastating blows, desperate defences and cataclysmic spells

Gnarlwood is perfect for getting new players started faster than ever with the streamlined rulebook and additional Rivals decks, and is perfect to bring Warhammer Underworlds veterans up to date for the new season.

The Crimson Court $38

Kainan’s Reapers $38

Mir Kainan is a brutal enforcer of the Mortisans, fanatically devoted to ensuring the bone tithe is met – and first to be despatched when Nagash resolved to claim the dues of the Silent People. The Reapers serve as Mir Kainan’s heralds, a cadre of elite Mortek Guard who back up the enforcer’s demands with clinical violence. His Hekatos lieutenant, Binar Khenta, assists in recording the grim payments of the bone tithe, guarded by Senha and Karu’s shieldwall as Hakor advances with his greatblade and Nohem launches hissing volleys of nadirite arrows.

The Starblood Stalkers $38

Though only a lowly priest in the complex rungs of the skink hierarchy, Kixi-Taka is looked upon with favour by his masters. When the Slann foresaw the doom that would fall upon Ghur, birthed in the bowels of the living mountain known as Beastgrave, they entrusted Kixi-Taka with relics of Old One technology to put an end to the threat. Now he faithfully guides the Starblood Stalkers – his taciturn Oldblood bodyguard Klaq-Trok, the skink hunters Xepic, Huachi, and Tok, and their camouflaged scout, Otapatl.

This multipart plastic kit builds the Starblood Stalkers – a band of cold-blooded Seraphon, led by Kixi-Taka the Diviner.

Hedkrakka’s Madmob $38

All Bonesplitterz carry a spark of the violent god Gorkamorka’s wild rage in their cracked minds. The connection is especially strong in the Wurrgog Prophet Hedkrakka – the self-proclaimed Gob of Gork even claims he can hear the voice of Gorkamorka through his squig-snake familiar, Mista Fangs. This same squiggly serpent convinced Hedkrakka to roam far across the realm of Ghur to hunt down the living mountain known as Beastgrave, accompanied by his Madmob of mates – the kunnin’ Boss Toofdagga, the club-wielding Wollop da Skul, and the arrowboy Dakko Sharp-stikka.

This multipart plastic kit builds Hedkrakka’s Madmob – a band of savage Bonesplitterz, led by Hedkrakka the Gob of Gork. This group of unique characters is packed with personality and detail – Hedkrakka’s mystical Gobby mask strikes fear into his foes, almost as much as the pet squiggly snake twisting around his shoulders, while his Madmob includes a trio of burly orruks draped with trophies from their kills, armed with a stinga bow, big chompa axe, and twin toofdaggas.

The kit comprises 24 push-fit plastic components, including four integrated scenic bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Elathain’s Soulraid $38

 

The Idoneth Deepkin of the Ionrach Enclave visited the living mountain known as Beastgrave many times over the centuries, claiming countless souls from the Silent People. The celebrated Isharann Soulrender Elathain was tasked with leading his own foray, but his failure damned him, along with his companions – the soul-bound thrall Tammael, the bond-beasts Duinclaw and Spinefin, and his sworn Ishlaen escort, Fuirann. Now known as Elathain Ill-fated, he seeks to claim redemption with a bounty of spirits.

This multipart plastic kit builds Elathain’s Soulraid – a band of disparate outcasts and tamed beasts, led by Elathain Ill-fated. This group of unique characters is packed with personality and detail – Elathain is garbed in the ritual vestments of an Isharann Soulrender, wielding his hooked talúnsickle with a mystical soulnet, while his escort includes a nobly-armed Akhelian knight, a Namarti thrall ready to hurl his riptide harpoon, and two deep-dwelling creatures.

The kit comprises 25 push-fit plastic components, including five integrated scenic bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
