I really wish they had kept the $25 price point for the ETB miniatures-only packs of Underworlds sets, which is actually a great price for such characterful models in hard plastic. $37 each, however, is a bit much for me.

The review on Can You Roll A Crit! for this warband and the new Fearsome Fortress rivals deck really make me glad I wasn't as excited for this release as one of my opponents was.
I wouldn't pay any attention to CYRAC. The Rival Decks are what he was begging for, conceptually, in the early days and now he's all super-concerned about "the community". What a farce.
Not sure how common it is with the latest warbands, but I don't see a single half-foot on any of the bases. No feet are sculpted as part of the scenic base, so you have the freedom to stick these guys on normal bases without any issue. The only thing is that half of a salamander is atttached to the shield but that's easy enough to shave off.
Fearsome fortress rivals deck looks really strong to me, I'm looking forward to trying it out with my warbands. Have not looked at the new goblins yet. I have so many warbands now, I'm happy just getting the rivals decks.
I used to really like can you roll a crit for underworlds, but since he stopped playing underworlds and moved to kill team, he's been really negative and jaded towards underworlds. I feel that path to glory is a great resource for reviews from folks who play the game.

Very fair. I listen to Path To Glory while at work, and will watch Can You Roll A Crit's Underworlds content at home on YouTube. I agree with you he has been a bit negative since he mostly moved to Kill Team, but tend to find his commentary on the cards tends to be a bit jaded, but generally from a good understanding of the game.
Both bands look exceptional. This is the first time in a long time Tzeentch has actually looked horrifying and the SC band just looks great in all ways. But why are they always locked in the starter box dammit.
Tzeentch are pretty cool. Stormcast look like Stormcast; I still struggle to differentiate them from each other, some of which is the studio colour scheme.
The Stormcasts are brill but the Tzeentch models aren't all I had hoped for, although that comes down to taste, and its my problem because I had plenty of opportunity to purchase Eyes of the Nine and yet kept passing it up.
The setting is the deal breaker as the "natural envirnoment" theme has been dragging on for far too long. Beastgrave, Direchasm, Harrowdeep, Nethermaze, Gnarlwood and now Wyrdhollow. Harrowdeep and Nethermaze were at least different in being water-based, but there needs to be a bit more variety going forward, and it would have been nice to visit something like a Seraphon temple, a Silver Tower or even the deck of a large warship - a Kharadon airship!
I don't know, I really like the Briar Queen set, but I think these guys look pretty rad too. Not as rad as the Looncourt mind you, which I thought killed it, but a pretty solid band from the newer releases.
I am relatively excited for the updated two player starter box.
Really hoping all they do is update the rulebook and card backs for Drepur's Wraithcreepers and Storm of Celestus.
While still not a fan of the new card backs, having "evergreen" products to act as your intro products (Two Player Starter & Essentials Pack) that look different to the current products is messy and confusing for a newer player.
