Although those who own the warbands already may be annoyed by having to re-buy the models to get the new cards.
I'd be more annoyed having to wait 3-4 months for the card packs to see a release that never gets broadcast, if delayed regionally, like Beastbound Assault was.

Agreed, I hope we see more of this. This is an absolute win for new and veteran players.
Simple warbands with the updated card layout for newer players, and updates to older warbands for veteran players who enjoy them.

I guess, on the Underworlds Discord servers I haven't really seen anybody upset at the thought of having to rebuy the minis.
They have been so scarce for so long, and with players rotating in and out of the game... there are far fewer people still playing who own these warbands than people who don't.
Ideally a rivals set with the new cards for the models if you own them (like me) and the rivals decks in the new set.
I have every release from Warhammer underworlds (except when the original box set warbands were released in season 2, I just got their new cards on ebay) and otherwise this it the only set I have considered not getting as I already have the models.

If of interest, the digital version of Underworlds is moving to a 'season-based' model, with the current iteration becoming 'Shadespire edition' and now includes all warbands from seasons 1-2 of the board game, previously paid DLC.
They are keeping the current price (£7.99) for the duration of the Skulls sale event, then increasing up to £29.99 or equivalent.

Honestly, there are so many Warbands in Underworlds and with the new starter sets every 6 months, I wouldn't mind if they only put out new Warbands in each starter (and eventually Rivals packs) and at least for a while spend some time rereleasing the S1 and S2 warbands with functional rivals decks as the individual releases. I think a lot of those warbands are fan favorites (and are generally simpler and easier for new players to pick up the game with), so having them be playable in one of the most common ways the game is played would be pretty nice.
Edit: I do know you can take a generic Rivals deck with the older warbands, but I don't feel those tend to be very thematic to the individual warband, which is part of the appeal of the game to lots of people I have played with.

Given the frozen setting, ogors seem inevitable. We already got a hunter, and warcry got gorgers, so I’m hoping for a butcher. Maybe he went to savor the frozen delicacies. A firebelly could thematically work too

Wouldn't icy climes make sense for a Yhetee?
I sure hope so. I hate their models but I want one for warcry.
We will get new Gorgers in Warcry so why not get new Yhetees in Underworlds?
Then again the 2 warbands in the Deathgorge don't have anything to do with ice... I mean one of them even has sand on their bases...

Oh man, they’re still using those old things?
Let’s hope they get a forger style glow-up then. Or perhaps even start taking after their Blood Bowlcousins.
