Underworlds has been brilliant for minis. I've never played the game, but have loads of the warbands, mostly to use in Warcry. I really hope they keep up the small team units. Love the black library minis and units too, but Underworlds is much better value.
It'll be the Eshin Underworlds team Skittershank’s Clawpack - modern sculpts, neat little spruce to giveaway, sewer bases and glowing weapons. And they're really fun to paint, fantastic minis.
I think we've heard that there will be a shared command phase at the start of the battle round, before the first turn play moves. So going first or second may be less impactful when 2nd player can still have buffs up.
Seem like there are still a few gaps in for Warcry bands for the season ahead - Gloomspite, Ironjawz, Idoneth, Beasts, Skaven, Khadarons, and Slaanesh at a glance
Lore on the black Anvils of Heldenhammer is super interesting. They were present in Anvilguard but I think their main base is Shyish.
Mostly heros from the Old World, souls rescued from Nagash rather than plucked from battles - and Nagash wants them back, sending Mrs Grief at them.
So perhaps a new character with hints to the old world. Lord Felix?
They have a cult to Morrda an old raven image death god. I wonder if related to the elf lass.
And - I'm curious to see if Mrs Ruin is the one who wipes Phoenicium.
"two cities will rise, but one will fall before the end"
and that shadow over the city reference from vol2
Are we wondering if neither of the crusades will fail, but it's actually the city of Phoenicium that will fall?
Taking with it the last remains of the old High Elf range, which will all return in TOW.
I can carry a kid and some toys on a backpack easily enough, that's about the scale difference, so doesn't seem too bad.
But yeah, the pole would make this tough to balance, even if the weight sits low down the back.
£126 of minis needed to play that expansion.
Seems a terrible approach to me. Basically only for Soulblight collectors, not fans of Cursed City. Really disappointed.
