Vakarian Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Looks like a new Underworlds announcement: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/02/15/15th-feb-new-models-games-and-funko-pop-at-the-new-york-toy-fairgw-homepage-post-3/ Stormcast and Nighthaunt getting new warbands, Sequitors and Banshees apparently. The starter set says it's aimed at new players - apparently some differences from standard Underworlds, wonder what they will be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJetski Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 So those red cards... are they just for Dreadfane, or are they a new concept being introduced like Lethal hexes in season 1? Also worth mentioning is that despite being larger than the standard boards, the board has objectives placed too close to each other... Which other existing model kits could be turned into warbands? Crawlocke, Glaivewraiths, and the Castigators come to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReynakZhen Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I think those red backed cards are going to be the new 'thing' introduced to WU. They seem like they'll have AOE effects that hit the whole battlefield. Also those warbands seem to be the same models as the second edition AoS 'filler' packs.

PJetski Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I really hope they play like additional objectives that each team can try to score, and not something silly like "randomly cast Shardgale"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReynakZhen Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Oooh, kind of like the oath objectives but, ones both sides can try to score? THAT would be neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakree Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Quote ....balancing taking out your opponent with a host of hazards, like falling meteors, beams of magical energy and more. I would guess this is what the red cards are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requizen Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Curious if there'll be Universal cards in here, or just warband cards for the Sequitors/Banshees. Also, couldn't be an Underworlds season without 2 Stormcast Warbands lololol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliman Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) I'm curious because Sequitors are liberators from a SCE-Chamber focused on magic, and Banshees are an anti-magic unit, but the box doens't come with any magic dice. Another thing that I'm interested is in the boards, seems to be one big board with the same size of two Underworlds boards, but even if it's divided (and they just photoshope'd the edges), there seems to be 5 starting hexes for one board and 4 for the other. Some other hexes seems to have some type of pit but are not marked red too... Maybe this box/game uses a board that is not compatible with Underworlds?

Klamm Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Are those the easy-to-build boxes of Banshees and Sequitors that they're appropriating? If so, cool, I've got a half painted trio I never finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyeline Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Those are indeed the easy to builds that have been snuck into Underworlds. Quite an odd reveal, can't say I expected anything like this. Looking forward to more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReynakZhen Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Well, GW said this new game is not season 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_blackfang Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Missed opportunity to give us new boards tho, that's a shame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vakarian Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 Yea new board looks like a single board for the game and not translatable to Underworlds. Like the easy-to-build models sneaking in (I'll have another painted warband with less effort!). Weird that GW seems to think another version of Underworlds, but not-quite-Underworlds, is a good release. Glad the warbands should port over (a second Haunts warbands is cool, even if Stormcast hardly need a fourth, and I say that as a Stormcast player).

My guess is that it was teh other way around. That the Ironsoul’s Condemnors were co-opted as easy to build sequitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see GW try to do a warband with the Celestar Ballista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamcbutton Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I’d love to see the Dreadblade Harrows made into the first cavalry warband - it always seemed odd you got two heroes in a box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomr19 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Was there ever a release date announced for dreadfane? Or does anyone know when the last set of Barnes & Nobles were released in relation to the announcement from last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyriphiry Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 And if dreadfane is not season 3, is there a release date for the next season? (not that I'm eager, at the moment I have plenty of stuff to play around ) I'm just curious... 😉 P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJetski Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 There is no release date for Dreadfane yet. They haven't said anything about it since the reveal announcement. Season 3 will likely follow the format laid out by season 1 and 2 - core box in September, 2 warbands in October, 2 warbands in January, and 2 warbands in April.

WathLab Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 So here it is ! https://www.reddit.com/r/WarhammerUnderworlds/comments/cjxit5/bn_dreadfane_delivered/ https://www.reddit.com/r/WarhammerUnderworlds/comments/cjxsib/some_pictures_of_the_cards_content_of_dreadfane/ https://www.reddit.com/r/WarhammerUnderworlds/comments/ck30hi/finally_got_the_dreadfane_review_up_youll_find_a/ What do you think of it ? And of these two new warbands ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intrinsic Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Took a shot on B&N after the news broke, lo and behold Dreadfane arrived today. Mournflight are really good. Stormcast are also good, but weaker faction cards and harder inspire mechanic. I have a Shadeglass tourney this weekend, TO said I'm good to use either band if I want. Definitely taking Mournflight.

Anthony225 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I think both warbands look cool (for underworlds). The ghosts are what I'm interested in. They look very underwhelming uninspired, but gain a lot when inspired. I really like that they cause you, me anyway, to come up with different combos. The teleport to any empty hex banshee opens up a lot of combo potential. You could teleport into a perfect hex and then play Centre of Attention. Or move onto any empty objective. There's an objective you can score if you have at least 2 fighters and all of your fighters have at least 1 wound. Combo that with shardgale and use the faction ploys that heal you. There's a ploy that lets you heal a damage and deal a damage if adjacent to an enemy fighter. There's an immediate objective you can score if a friendly fighter moves through a blocked hex and ends adjacent to an enemy. Shardfall can help with that. There's a lot of other good ploys and upgrades also for the banshees. Objectives that come to mind an auto-include would be Cover Ground, Shortcut, maybe Alone in the Darkness (with access to 2 distraction cards), Keep Them Guessing, and some of the faction ones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zilberfrid Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I've read that it comes at $50 at Barnes & Nobles, is that correct? If so, not having a compatible board and having these models, it's not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely some kind of new aggro flex playstyle... I love their design. Ghost flying all over the board, tormenting the opponent, strong and unpredictable... Exactly like my Chosen Axes !
