Social recommendations and mentions

• Games that don’t use measuring?

  2 games I haven't seen mentioned: One is called Skytear. The other is called Warhammer Underworlds. Both do have a heavy card influence in their games, but they still have cool minis and important positioning decisions. Source: 10 months ago

• Wyrdhollow or Gnarlwood?

  From the previews of Wyrdhollow, the warbands have more unique and complicated mechanics than those in Gnarlwood (which were already a bit wordy in their unique abilities). One of the Rivals decks in Wyrdhollow will be focussed on wizards and contains plenty of spells, which can be used fine by the two warbands in that set but won't be usable by Rippa's Snarlfangs or Mollog's Mob. I'm not sure how well the... Source: about 1 year ago

• Warhammer Underworlds: Starter Set - Learn to play Rules

  You should get the latest rules. Go here https://warhammerunderworlds.com/ , click the link at the top to download the PDF, it's the rulebook from Gnarlwood. I would not recommend learning the older rules as you will need to adapt later if you play with anyone else who is playing current rules, as there are some small but very impactful differences that will catch you out.

• Planning to get into Underworlds with the Starter Set and another warband of my choice (as I fear the new box sets like Gnarlwood might be too difficult to learn for casual play). Is this a good way to get into the game?

  I'm not saying not to get the starter set, if you like those warbands go for it, the Gnarlwood rulebook is available online from the warhammer underworlds page. Source: about 1 year ago

• Games that hit too close to home

  I’ve been playing Warhammer Underworlds recently and it’s a great crossover game between board games and miniatures war games. Source: over 1 year ago

• Rules question about Trapped wording

  GW have posted the Gnarlwood rules on the https://warhammerunderworlds.com/ site, direct link to the PDF here: https://s38763.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/qlluVeXHbZZUtiJb.pdf. Source: over 1 year ago

• Newb warband question…

  A version of the rules (I think Harrowdeep?) is available free from http://warhammerunderworlds.com which will include more definitions and updated rules. Source: over 1 year ago

• Warhammer: The Old World – Orcs, Bretonnians, Tomb Kings Arrive

  As far as I understand there are some smaller skirmish games though like Warcry or Underworlds which only have a warband instead of a full army. Source: over 1 year ago

  In about a month on their Boxed Sets category under Warhammer UnderWorlds as well just keep an eye on the official AoS UnderWorlds site: Https://warhammerunderworlds.com/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• I bought some sigmar models from a friend (first edition as far as I'm aware) and I don't know what faction they're from because they aren't on the games workshop website, does anyone know what faction they are?

  The Warhammer UnderWorlds site is also very helpful in seeing essentials and the warbands. Source: almost 2 years ago

• How exactly do I play with more than 2 people and where are the rules for that?

  I guess I could have been more helpful. You can get the most recent rules here, which includes multiplayer rules: https://warhammerunderworlds.com/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Can you use new warbands in older versions?

  All warbands are essentially cross-compatible with all editions ("seasons") of Underworlds - whilst the most recent rules are recommended (and can be downloaded free here: https://warhammerunderworlds.com/ -> scroll down to the "read the rules" rulebook image) because the fundamental way the game works doesn't change you can use any warband.

• Closest Warhammer game to Settlers of Catan level of complexity?

  There’s also a AoS Tile and Dice sidegame called “The Rise and Fall of Anvalor” (but no models) that might worth a look. Here’s the links: Https://warhammerunderworlds.com/. Source: over 2 years ago

• AoSLore Book Club: Shadespire: The Mirrored City

  It incorporates a theme very rarely seen in Warhammer: genuine cosmic horror. It is also a proper adventure novel, provides a nice callback to an obscure being in the Old World of Warhammer Fantasy, and serves to explain the setting and background of the Warhammer Underworlds game. The story even cleverly explains how you can have two players using the same warband against each other. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Put some pressure on GW to get an FAQ

  Good points! While you're at it, want to ask them to update their warhammerunderworlds.com website :S... Maybe put out a FAR list? :P. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Elathain's soulraid

  Warhammer Underworlds is GW's deck-building/miniatures hybrid game. The premise is small warbands (usually three to seven models) fighting it out. Unlike the rest of GW's games, each warband has a set composition (allowing for a variety of unique models) and the customization comes from building gambit and objective card decks.
