I like it. Gives me worlds strongest man vibes rather than the usual roided out look.

Looking forward to these folks! They get to pull double duty in Underworlds AND Mordheim!

I have a feeling these dudes are like 2 heads taller than Mordheim minis tho.

Very cool. Always a fan of skullgrinders

And who says boob armor cant work for men?

I'm so incredibly excited for this warband, I love khorne warbands. I wonder how many fighters they'll have.

He'd be perfect for a Corpse Grinder gang in Necromunda.

I think his lower legs look a bit thin proportionally but he’s pretty cool.

I really like him. The last few Warbands have been excellent designs.

We shall see what the Slaughterpriest looks like. That’s what is gonna interest me most.

Agreed! The Nethermaze bands look like a huge step up from the four Harrowdeep ones, who I felt were pretty uninspired.

Nice! I like his doughiness.

New Warband revealed, very beefy, very aggressive.

I need them. Glorious.

I'm totally off the rumour mill (helped a student learn for/pass a big med school exam) so Ivll ask here:

-ETA for the Khorny dudes?

-I stopped buying at the Slaanesh vs Elves starter (and playing after I stomped my opponent too hard with The Wurmspat 😵), can I play the new band(s) with that or have they added new core mechanics that make a newer starter necessary?


Thank you.

They added a rival format which you play using either GW seasonal prebuilt deck or your warband deck.

If you want to play the "normal" format, which is called championship, it's pretty much what you'd expect: build the deck online (or just copy other people's deck if you're lazy), then ebay the cards you need. You have the direchasm box so universal cards from that one will be rotated out of the format as soon as the next starter hit, which should be in a few months.

All info here, including the limited/ban list in the champion format pdf.

New season is usually every six months, so the Khorne team probably isn't that long away if they want to keep to some kind of schedule.

The Khorne warband is coming in September. They said so in the preview show.

I personally really like the so-called Rivals Plus format. It seems like the sweet spot of simplicity and deck building, even if it means all of my universal cards are now useless lol

Haven’t played since season one. But still buying the models, and definitely more interested at the Rivals and Rivals + points

My group has returned to the game with Rivals+, really is the best blend of deck building without having to card chase during the seasons for us.

Really like that Rivals+ allows older Nightvault and Shadespire warbands that only came with 9 faction objectives instead of 12 to play well against newer warbands since you can still use the faction cards that play well with that warband's abilities on their fighter cards and give that warband it's unique feel.

Next week for a new Rivals deck and the new Khorne band.

New season, Gnarlwood is where all the cool kids are playing:

I like both quite a bit.

Edit: The art piece at the end of the article seems to preview the mortal human warband.

Sculpts are good and I would be happy to see a regiment box of either, but I feel like the game has reached the point where all the sensible design space has been filled and new rules are just getting stupider... plus this will cost double what the original starter was.

The cost is where they lost me. This was such a great game when I didn't feel like I went broke for a warband. Now, I just can't justify the price for them.

I like the look of both, although the guy with the hammer needs to have that idiot spike removed.

Does anyone else remember back in season 1 when certain members of this forum were saying we wouldn't see a season 2. Here we are, more than 40 warbands later about to kick off season 7!

I love these minis and hopefully the promise of this season being newbie friendly holds true.

I hope that Sons are a test ground for a new Grave Guard minis.

I like those graveguard models, very nice sculpts. Never played the game but always good to see alternative sculpts for factions. Hoping we get some more dwarfs and/or Kurnothi.

That is an issue I am having with the newer warbands as well, played Garrek's Reavers my last few matches, and hot dang was it pleasant to play such a simple but still thematic warband compared to a majority of the releases since Direchasm.

I may have to get the Skellies just to run in Warcry, they are bloody gorgeous sculpts

*Holds up hand*

Yeah, I really thought they would've run out of ideas for teams after about season 3 or 4, glad to be proved wrong!

Both of these new teams look great, and I'm really hoping that art piece is hinting at a Cities of Sigmar team.
