Hey everyone, Who's looking at the Dreadfane warbands now that they've been officially released for Beastgrave? I've been trying to get my hands on a copy of Dreadfane to no avail, so this was a no-brainer preorder. I'm pretty excited about the Condemnors - they seem like a very brutal, and tough, warband. 3-dice attacks, succeeding on hammers, seems particularly nice for starting out, and makes the chances of inspiring (the warband members all inspire on any crit rolled when attacking or defending) seem fairly high. What tactics do you think will work well with the warband? What cards will you want to play? It seems like some of the warband-specific cards will be quite useful, too, from the GW article.

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).

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?

I really want to see a character profile for Gardus from the Hallowed Knights and for Balthus from Anvils of the Heldenhammer. That said, as a new player, I agree Stormcast don't need much. One more warmachine to go with the traditional Chambers would make sense. Maybe a few of the older units could use tweaks. But I'd like some breathing room to build and paint what I do have before feeling any rush to buy newer, shinier Stormcast.
