Title: Rumours and what's new to be expected of Underworlds
Post by: StealthKnightSteg on January 24, 2020, 09:19:25 AM: Thought I would start this topic also for Underworlds with the new reveals from the LVO

Post by: GamesPoet on February 25, 2020, 12:18:18 AM: That paint scheme is horrible. It might work for the World of 40K, but with fantasy, it ain't doing it for me.

Post by: Gankom on October 17, 2020, 04:16:13 PM: The new season of Underworlds are coming and they've previewed the two teams. A Lumineth and Slaany team.

I think I actually quite like them. The Elf team at least. Hammer elf is getting a head swap, mage and swordmaster are nice, archer I'm lore lukewarm on. The chaos beastman freaks me out, but in a good way I guess?

OK, for once I have to say something nice. I'm not a Chaos guy, but these Chaos Warriors for Underworld are probably the best proportioned standard Chaos Warriors (on foot) in Warhammer history. Still bulky, still with oversized weapons, but within acceptable boundaries.

In general, their chaos have been very good
Title: Re: Rumours and what's new to be expected of Underworlds
Post by: GamesPoet on December 02, 2020, 03:05:07 PM: I do like those, much more along the vein of the kind of Chaos army I'd like to grow.
Title: Re: Rumours and what's new to be expected of Underworlds
Post by: Gankom on December 02, 2020, 05:12:18 PM: I dont even like Chaos but I think they look phenomenal. That kit is pretty much single handedly (Single kitedly?) bring back some old chaos friends back into the hobby.
Title: Re: Rumours and what's new to be expected of Underworlds
Post by: GamesPoet on December 02, 2020, 05:26:20 PM: Apparently those Chaos figures for Underworld aren't quite out yet. I will be picking a set of them up once they are.
Title: Re: Rumours and what's new to be expected of Underworlds
Post by: Old Stonebeard on December 02, 2020, 06:04:06 PM: I mean, the Underworlds Chaos Warriors match the ones in the Slaves to Darkness Start Collecting.

New Underworlds warband. First Seraphon models we’ve gotten since they became Seraphon, I believe. The release schedule teases possible Vampires next, then Spiderfang, Bonereapers and Deepkin.

Post by: Gankom on January 09, 2021, 04:59:23 PM: The legs on the chameleon skin, while accurate, freak me out a bit. But the rest of them I really like! They'll fit into my existing lizard force with no issue.

New Seraphon models for Underworlds, the first released for them since they became Seraphon, I believe.

Word on the street is that a Soulblight Vampire warband will be next:

With Spiderfang Grots, Ossiarch Bonereapers, and Idoneth Deepkin next up.

Post by: Gankom on January 09, 2021, 09:59:44 PM: Huh, could have sworn I responded to this. Anyways, I like the set quite a lot. They'll fit in great with my existing lizard force. The Chameleon skins legs freak me out, rightly I feel, but its a neat looking design.
Title: Re: Rumours and what's new to be expected of Underworlds
Post by: Old Stonebeard on January 09, 2021, 10:03:08 PM: Ohhh, that's wild, it's a completely different lower leg than the existing Chameleon Skinks. The hands have 3 fingers instead of 4, as well. It's more true to an actual Chameleon but less anthro:

Title: Re: Rumours and what's new to be expected of Underworlds
Post by: Gankom on January 24, 2021, 07:22:55 PM: Fairly quick, almost gladiator style combat but with some objectives. I haven't tried it myself, only seen it played, but it looks fun.
Title: Re: Rumours and what's new to be expected of Underworlds
Post by: GamesPoet on January 24, 2021, 08:12:39 PM: And since it was mentioned in the Beastgrave thread that it has the same rules, think I'll pick it up from that direction. Thanks! :::cheers:::

Title: Re: Rumours and what's new to be expected of Underworlds
Post by: GamesPoet on January 25, 2021, 12:24:27 PM: Looks like release timeline for new warbands is as follows:

Feb ... Chaos as shown above
March ... Lizard band
Apr ... Vampires
May ... Orcs

But wondering what this "Direchasm" label on the Chaos warband is ...
Title: Re: Rumours and what's new to be expected of Underworlds
Post by: GamesPoet on January 25, 2021, 12:28:49 PM: Ah! I see ... it's another starter set, and this one has high elfs and slaanesh chaos.
Title: Re: Rumours and what's new to be expected of Underworlds
Post by: Gankom on January 25, 2021, 05:24:09 PM: Direchasm is just like the 'seasons' expansion thing we were talking about with Beastgrave.

So the game is Underworlds. The first season was Shadespire, then Beastgrave and now Direchasm.

I continue to really like these chaos models, and I generally really don't like chaos.
Title: Re: Rumours and what's new to be expected of Underworlds
Post by: Gankom on February 05, 2021, 05:11:59 PM: The new savage orc warband is getting previewed for Direchasm/Underworlds.

Quote
the Warhammer Underworlds warband for May is Savage Orruks! Meet Toofdagga, one of the boyz from Hedkrakka’s Madmob.

Post by: Gankom on February 05, 2021, 05:12:46 PM: He's a beefy boy but I do really like the look of that orc. If the warband is similar to the other orc warbands then I expect it'll be 3 models, one of which seems likely to be a shaman.

Hmm wonder if that means they'll come out more Nobz size then so not integrate well into square based old Savage orc regiments. I mean the one pictured looks good and I like making front ranks diverse and interesting just been leery on the scale.
Title: Re: Rumours and what's new to be expected of Underworlds
Post by: Gankom on February 05, 2021, 06:02:56 PM: I don't have any of the new orrucks, but from seeing them they look significantly bigger then old orcs. Easily nob size. The other ones are all very bulky from the armor, so this guy kind of looks slim compared to them, but I don't know how well they'd fit in a unit. As a savage orc chieftain however, I think they'd be the right size.
Title: Re: Rumours and what's new to be expected of Underworlds
Post by: GamesPoet on February 05, 2021, 08:07:16 PM: I think he'd look better in a darker paint scheme.

Title: Re: Rumours and what's new to be expected of Underworlds
Post by: Gankom on March 16, 2021, 05:46:03 PM: The important thing for me is it fits the ascetic of the rest of that factions range. They all look vaguely like necrons mixed with tomb kings, so its a good sign that Gdubs is not getting to crazy but actually on point.

Whether people like that ascetic in the first place is totally separate of course. But depending on how the rest of the warband looks I think this one and the vampire one I'll pick up first from this seasons releases.

Post by: Artobans Ghost on March 16, 2021, 06:05:43 PM: Looking good!
Title: Re: Rumours and what's new to be expected of Underworlds
Post by: GamesPoet on March 16, 2021, 06:07:12 PM: GW seems to have been making improvements in what they are doing. Suspect they're crossing the look so that 40K folks will buy for conversion purposes. The idea that these look like Tomb Kings kind of goes with the fluff to a degree, and the cross into Necrons is an easy jump.
Title: Re: Rumours and what's new to be expected of Underworlds
Post by: Gankom on March 16, 2021, 09:25:00 PM: The cross over idea is a good angle, I can really see that.

I've got a nice band of Witch Hunters in the (admittedly never ceaseless) pipeline including the Mordheim band, the bloke from the Cursed City set and the other fella with his crossbow daughter.

These will do just nicely :biggriin:

Also *woof!

I like the skellies too, definitely modelled the same as the cursed city and new boxed skellies.

I also like the chaos shaman guy, he looks more like an Amber wizard than the Amber wizard model did :-P
