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 ...

Ah! I see ... it's another starter set, and this one has high elfs and slaanesh chaos.

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.

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.

The link includes a little bit about their playstyle and cards they can use if you want a bit more about the mechanics.

and a hint at one of the other members.

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.

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.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #32 on:** February 05, 2021, 08:07:16 PM »

I think he'd look better in a darker paint scheme.

The full savage Orc Warband is revealed!

Preview of another coming Underworlds Warband. The Ossiarch Bone boys are getting a warband let by this fellow, called an executioner.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #35 on:** March 16, 2021, 05:05:55 PM »

Looks like a Necron, maybe for Blackstone fortress!

Gankom · « **Reply #36 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.

Artobans Ghost · « **Reply #37 on:** March 16, 2021, 06:05:43 PM »

Looking good!

GamesPoet · « **Reply #38 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.

Gankom · « **Reply #39 on:** March 16, 2021, 09:25:00 PM »

The cross over idea is a good angle, I can really see that.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #40 on:** April 05, 2021, 12:34:02 AM »

A new starter set is being released. It will contain Storm~~crud~~cast Eternals and Undead warbands.

Gankom · « **Reply #41 on:** May 06, 2021, 05:52:17 PM »

Posted this in AoS chan because it gets more traffic, but for completionist sake here's the new Deepkin warband.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #42 on:** May 06, 2021, 06:04:58 PM »

Yep, somebody will enjoy having that war band.

Gankom · « **Reply #43 on:** July 10, 2022, 05:59:05 PM »

Its a big preview today. I don't care as much about the new chaos forces for the new warcry starter set, but there is an underworlds warband I like the look at. Witch Hunters!

Sharkbelly · « **Reply #44 on:** July 10, 2022, 07:29:53 PM »

Agreed. Awesome models!

Gankom · « **Reply #45 on:** July 11, 2022, 01:35:27 AM »

Big hope that they keep this going with more cities of sigmar focused stuff. But also dogs! Bring all the dogs!

Sharkbelly · « **Reply #46 on:** July 11, 2022, 12:47:43 PM »

Very cool models. Definitely going to pick these up.

Jmash · « **Reply #47 on:** July 11, 2022, 01:17:05 PM »

Yes please let's be 'avin you!

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

Also *woof!

GamesPoet · « **Reply #48 on:** July 13, 2022, 03:15:09 AM »

Those look awesome! I will be buying a set of these asap.

Gankom · « **Reply #49 on:** September 27, 2022, 01:44:26 AM »

I like the look of these dudes.
