It's Sequitors instead of the Evocators that Nightvault came with.

Also, Sylvaneth aren't Elves. They're tree spirits. All of them. Wood Elves became the Wanderers faction.

**JimmyWolf87**

Never been a fan of the Sylvaneth range (Treekin aside). These are probably the best they've done (especially the axe guy) but I still just can't enjoy them. They look more like wood elves strapped in to wooden mecha-suits rather than an organic fusion of tree and spirit. Think it's the legs (especially on the bow guy in this set).

More Underworlds is always good, hoping for more new races before too long (Idoneth and DoK surely in the next round?)

**infinite_array**

Looks like there was a stealth update to the Errata, FAQ, and BAR list.

Big takeaways: Inspired Mollog can now activate normally with a single Charge token (like he needed that...) and Extreme Flank has been added to the ban list. Goodbye easy glory! Also Cover Ground got a stealth buff, since you can now Faneway Crystal to an objective 6 or more hexes away and score it.

I dunno, I don't follow the new Warhammer, I'm just going with what I know.

**porkuslime**

Looks like the new Forbidden Chambers board pack is up for pre-order.for shipping March 2.. dont know if that means my FLGS will have it tomorrow, but .. I dunno

**Clockpunk**

Just annoying that the lethal hexes don't have corresponding scenic terrain, a la the core set. :-/

Never really saw the point of those. I bought them since they look nice for AoS terrain, but using them in-game seems impractical. I mean, you can stand in a lethal hex, but if there's a giant thing in the way you would have to move it anyway so the model could stand there.

**pgmason**

Yep We've taken to using the scenery for blocked hexes but not for lethal ones.

And finally we have Thundriks Profiteers

Each of Thundrik’s Profiteers embodies an aspect of the Kharadron Overlords – from the ingenuity of the Aether-Khemists to the relentless firepower of the Grundstok Thunderers.

These guys turn Warhammer Underworlds on its head with the ability to pepper their foes at range, allowing them to hold objectives while still slaying enemies. New cards and rules take everything you love about these skyborne duardin from Warhammer Age of Sigmar and converts it perfectly to Warhammer Underworlds. If you’re excited to plunder some underworlds, you won’t have long to wait

**Chopstick**

Look pretty meh, hopefully the guns have good range, because obviously they all move like a sloth except for the balloon guy.

**xerxeshavelock**

I didn't expect a flamethrower...

**Waaaghbert**

I like them! three different ranged weapons, 2 CC guys. Could be really fun

**Alkasyn**

Looking pretty cool and I hope they have interesting rules.

**Binabik15**

I just wish they did something more interesting with the Shadespire models. A Kharadron with his mask off, showing a dwarf face but with respirators would be cool. Kinda like the usual SM sarge with respirator. An ornate scope on the gun of one team member. Nothing outlandish, but making them more interesting than bog standard guys from the respective unit choice in a slightly different pose.

At least the leader is cooler looking than the clampack version for justa bit moremaking it almost a no-brainer even if you don't play the game.

**SnotlingPimpWagon**

I have to say, I like this warband a lot. IMO second best looking one, after the skeletons!

I like them -but yeah it would have been nice to see some new aspects of the Kharadron - even these troop types but perhaps with different weaponry, an open helmed one and I'd love to see a female Kharadron. I've just picked up Underworlds so I'll definitely be getting these guys. Hopefully GW might use Warcry to add further new things/options for various factions in the future.

**porkuslime**

My personal take is.. I dont like them much, but I also know that the Kharadron esthetic is something I dont like. Novel concept for dwarves for sure, but.. maybe too "steampunk" for me in my fantasy.

I might look to get just the card decks off ebay to get more options, but the models are a pass for my choice

**alleus**

I really, really like them. More varied than I thought they would be, especially after the Fyrelsayer warband that is just embarassing in terms of variety.

**ImAGeek**

I like them a lot too. Each is just basically a really cool example of the unit they represent.

**Carlovonsexron**

It's a pass for me personally, though I'm happy other find value in them.

I'm looking forward to the next round. But that will need to wait til net year I guess?

**RiTides**

I think they're pretty amazing! Loved the varied armaments, it's what makes a lot of the more recent Underworlds warbands so cool, imo

Hopefully they have multiple different shooting profiles to go with those sweet guns

About October, most likely. That’s when Shadespire and Nightvault were released.

Thundriks Profiteers and Yltharis Gaurdians preorder next week plus the other war bands miniatures only.

**GoatboyBeta**

Good looking pair of warbands. With a Sylvaneth vs Glomspite box recently teased I'm even more convinced that Ylthari’s Guardians are a preview of things to come.

Sounds likely.
I would love a generic revenant Hero to go with the wraith and wych. Also Revenants with bows would be nice.
But perhaps we dont want to much focus on revenants, I really like the not humanoid/elfine focus of the Sylvaneth -I even consider claiming the giant beetle is Alarielle and having the lady as just a servant druidess

**Herodius**

Can't believe this hasn't made it up here yet! https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/04/16/warband-focus-yltharis-guardians/

It looks like they're definitely going to take some finesse, but I personally can't wait to get my hands on them!

Wonder if a lot of the objectives will revolve around healing and regrowth i.e. Glory for not dying

Given that I really suck at not dying in Underworlds, they may not be the warband for me

**GaroRobe**

Ok, so Curse of the Dwindling card sort of confirms that Fyreslayer mohawks are part of the helmet, not their actual hair. I like that a lot more. (It was probably confirmed elsewhere, but seeing it on the card is nice)

I don't doubt elsewhere the mohawks are their actual hair, so I guess it depends on the person

**ImAGeek**

Thundrik’s Profiteers focus is up:

**ZebioLizard2**

Interesting that the only way they can be inspired is through scoring.
