Warhammer Underworlds: Gnarlwood Coming Soon
The next Warhammer Underworlds season is almost here with the introduction of Gnarlwood. Bring out your dead!
“As the new season of Warhammer Underworlds heads beneath the Gnarlwood, there’s never been a better time to get into the game. Here’s why the Rivals format is perfect for new players, lapsed Warhammer Underworlds enthusiasts, and even the most hardcore fans.”
Bring On The Rivals
The concept of Rivals Decks was introduced with Harrowdeep. Now, Gnarlwood is following in that format’s footsteps with two more decks.
You can take one of the Rivals decks included in the box to instantly create a deck ready for play. There are two new Rivals Decks in the box that you can use to get started.
“This format has been great for new players while also offering those with more experience new ways to play with their older warbands – now you have to outplay your opponent on the tabletop, rather than beat them at deck building.”
This “Grab and Go” format is perfect for new players who are just getting into it as well as Veterans who might prefer an older warband. Maybe deck building isn’t your thing — the Rivals Format is for you!
The New Nemesis Format
“There’s also a new format in the new season, for those who wish to dip their toes into deckbuilding. Nemesis sees you create a deck from your warband-specific cards and the cards in a universal Rivals deck. This hits the sweet spot between Rivals and Relic* format, giving new players a first taste of experimenting with adding and removing cards while still using a manageable card pool. “
Personally, I like this concept. It’s also a way to “limit” the card pool without limiting the older warbands. It’s also less punishing for newer players that might not have the card collection of veterans. If you were curious as to how GW was planning on cycling out cards and keeping things fresh, the Nemesis format is a great way to do that.
Are you ready to journey into the Gnarlwood?
