No toenails on any of 'em..

I do like the shaman and his snek..

archer and shaman look good.

Archer for sure is the nicest one.

Archer and shaman are quite good, the two melee orcs are...well, not great.

They must be sitting on a ton of those castigators and glaivewraiths

Small sprue, easy to produce en masse, paid for itself in initial outlay.
Perfect choice, just like when they used the other two ETB.

Are we talking sharp claw-like toenails, or just toenails? 'Cause I can clearly see them modeled on. Painter just didn't bother himself.

The Shaman saves the Savage Orc set for me, looks like I'll be getting it after all.

Over 200,000 sold is a lot even when you divide it between 4 starter boxes. I guess underworlds is here to stay.

These kind of toes are fine on Ironjawz, and many of the models have similar toes. They've got nothing but new models, and the older black orcs all have shoes, ergo no feet.

However, every single savage orc model has sharp claw-like toenails, so some continuity would be nice

Maybe the whole warband recently clipped them for some spending money while in Direchasm.

Overall I like the Savage Orcs ok. Overall I feel like this season's warbands have been pretty strong - save the starter box elves.

Not all that keen on Direchasm's theme so its good to see another starter with the casts'n'haunts. If its a bit kinder in price I might take the plunge and join you all for Underworlds.

If I manage to get one for myself, I'm gonna greenstuff 'em.

I just can't look at them. It gives me goosebumps.

Having a butchers on the AoS facebook page and they have indeed confirmed that this set will be cheaper than Direchasm.

Alright, I'm in!

You mean the set with the recycled models? Of course, but it'd still be too expensive for set with recycled models.

Look at direchasm, each team + card cost 40US$, so buying the whole set, i got 5 US$ off and "free" gameboard, token and dice.

Now look at this new starter, each team is 15US$ (without the cards) on GW store, so how much would they price this? Look at the "champion of dreadfan" set, same 15US$ team and they sell it for 60US$ (and 58US$ after they retired it and repack it, but without the board and the new mechanic cards) So I got NO discount, and have to pay a truckload for all of the extra.

Might as well buy the Direchasm(or Beastgrave) starter if you want to play. Plus those team have wizards, which can help score some easy points, what needed to win the game.

Indeed.
It’s whether it costs the same as Dreadfane or more that was the question. More being the safe bet,

I just don't fancy the teams in those two sets, and I already have the Sepulchral Guard with the decks still sealed. The models in this set will at least see reuse in AoS as I collect those factions, and I was going to buy them down the road anyway.

No idea at this time as to the price, but to even have a starter set opposed to the current starter set, which is selling at £50? I'd venture about £40.

Sepulchral cards are in high demand.
I sold a duplicate set for £15.
You should sell them or the whole set on if you aren’t gonna use them

Did cross my mind several times but I kinda like them as a team, and I get all fuzzy holding a deck of cards...

Selpuchral guards were the top-performing team, back in season 1, iirc.

Wonder how well they hold up, now that there's warbands with ranged weapons (which did appear in season 1), magic, that hunter mechanic, etc.

The real question is, can any of the mini starter set warbands, like the glaivewraith stalkers, become a top tier warband? Would be funny to see them sweep the championship

Sepulchral Guards were considered extremely lacklustre back in S1. S2 added the Briars and they were basically Guards+1 thanks to the "Push" mechanic.

Yeah, sepulchral guard was the worst team in the game. They were slow as sloth and their inspire condition was literally feeding points to your opponent and waste your activation to bring them back, yikes.

In ss2 some cards was banned and some mechanic was changed, which help them somewhat.

Also not recommend playing them for starting player, that'd be the equivalent of playing halfling and goblin team in Blood bowls.

I picked up the Grymwatch because i love FEC.
How are they in the game?

Seems fine based on tournament result. But not without having a bunch of other expansion.

Team with their based deck are meme-tier, you are playing it for the meme and crit god, don't expect to win against non-meme deck.

Jump on the Underworlds Discord for advice and deck tactics etc if you want.
There’s some good Grymwatch advice to be had on there.

Last season they were top tier (alongside Thundrik's Profiteers), but I can't speak for how Direchasm's affected 'em

You will not though. The castigators and glaivewraiths are two units that have no reason to exist and you'd be better off buying command points for the same points in AoS proper.

Might be an okay buy at £30, but ti's probably will be £37.5-£40 because dreadfan.

In that case don't. meme-players shouldn't have to put up with GW's insane pricing. Other players did because "new models", or they're serious competitive players.

What on earth is a meme-player?

A term that allows Chopstick to belittle people who don't play as he thinks they should, apparently.
