Warhammer Underworlds - Playing upgrades to score glory.

Image
As I finished this article, the new Underworlds information was released.... still, please take a read. As I continue to explore pairings for Lady Harrows Mournflight, I began to think about Malevolent Mask, Rimelock Relics and Toxic Terrors. Each of these decks use upgrades to score Objectives cards to a greater or lesser extent. This then leads to the idea of Seed Glory (the initial one or two points of glory needed to access the Power deck, and then to score the Objectives). Rimelocked Relics Recently, at my local gaming club and in the few tournaments I have attended, I have seen a lot of Rimelocked Relics. Equally, I have tried the deck myself (paired with Magore's Fiends - Nemesis Deck Library) and have found that it pairs well with aggressive warbands. Why do I state this? A number of the Objective cards,within the deck, require your fighters to be holding Objective tokens in enemy territory and/or to have enemy fighters out of action. In addition, some Objectives require fi

My hope for the future of Warhammer Underworlds

Recently, I’ve begun to wonder about the fate of Warhammer Underworlds . I’ve been playing Games Workshop games since 1990, and over the years, my relationship with the hobby has evolved dramatically. As a teenager, I had plenty of time to build armies but often lacked the funds. After my student days, I finally had both the time and money to indulge in large-scale armies. Now, as a parent, I find myself with neither the time nor the surplus funds for bigger games. As a result, I’ve shifted my focus to smaller-scale games rather than Age of Sigmar (AoS) or Warhammer 40,000 (40K). Games like Aeronautica Imperialis and Warhammer Underworlds have proven to be a perfect fit. I also love painting miniatures, and with a focus on quality over quantity, massive army painting is something I’ve moved away from. The original teaser miniature for Warhammer Underworlds, The Sepulchral warden When Warhammer Underworlds first launched, I began collecting the miniatures solely for the joy of pain

My Fifth Warhammer Underworlds Tournament - Agents of Sigmar Wintermaw Clash 2024

Checkout my  Warhammer Underworlds - Contents Page  for more articles. On May 11th, I participated in my fifth Warhammer Underworlds tournament, hosted by Pete and Robin of the Agents of Sigmar. The venue was once again the Gamers Guild in Redhill. In recent months, I've experimented with a variety of warbands, but for this tournament, I chose  Lady Harrow's Mournfligh t  once more. This time, however, I brought a new deck I had never used before, which I've dubbed 'Savage Scream,' pairing the Mournflight with Tooth and Claw. The deck list can be found over on my  Nemesis Deck Library . Game 1 In the first game, I faced Jon and his Plaguepack. Skabbik was teamed with Voidcurse Thralls. The game started well; I aimed to inspire my banshees and score some objectives (including Inescapable Hunger ) in the first round, managing to kill Itchitt. This provided the glory needed to upgrade a few fighters and inspire some banshees. Jon scored a few objectives and inspired hi
