I think when I get this box.. I am going to paint the Shadeborn aelves as Drow and use them for my D&D campaign as the PCs head to under the mountains..

I really like how the shadeborn rules look. Ni e and sneaky, and combo!

Big arm zombie warband preview, without showing the card of the big arm zombie, it's annoying not seeing all the cards, but their rule looks intersting, like they're 2 warbands : The coil zombies band controlled by the necromancer, and the other 2 zombies without coils form their own mini-warband.

No matter how many times you say it, Chopstick, Marcov won't become a zombie - he's the apprentice of the vampire, and the non-coil zombie is one he has animated as a bodyguard.

I am kind of puzzled why this preview was released after rats and spooks. Shouldn't it be first?

Anyway, looking at elf and rat units, elves loadout is really nice. They all have same melee and ranged attacks, 3 simple rolls. Skaven, on the other hand, are a mess of different melee attacks and a single (LOL) ranged attack. Would the unit really be OP if we assumed they all have slings hidden somewhere and generic poisoned blades? I vastly prefer first approach, though cherrypick 40K brigade will no doubt disagree

Also, I kind of wish you could take leaders without minions in AoS games but oh well...

You mean prentice.

Also Chopstick may be forgiven to not recognize the model that looks like a ghoul at best as a supposedly highly intelligent character.

You mean Prentice. It's his first name and needs to be capitalized. Like Darth.

I'm just too lazy to type out Prentice Marcov over my huge disappointment of not seeing all the cards.

Doesn’t really matter what order they did, they’re all up for preorder this weekend.

Opinions on the Eshin?

2 more cards I guess. I was expecting 3 dice for big arm but then I think that'd be kinda broken lol.

Very solid. Deep strike with 6" minimum range on such a small unit is very hard to screen out and with their MW on 6s to hit (sidenote: holy gak GW please STOP doing this as an ability) they are fully capable of killing support heroes/units. As an added bonus the interaction between the two means they can roll into something nasty and aim for some lucky 6s before the leader retreats out to avoid getting pummeled.

A lot of it hinges on that MW ability; opponents can't afford to leave them running around because they are one good hit roll from killing a character, bracketing a monster, and/or taking an objective.

Hexbane's Hunters

Knew what it was and excited going in, but the models just haven't grabbed me. Oh well, I'll wait for the next warband bus....

I’m excited

I’m pumped on these guys. I’ve wanted a witch Hunter bad in Underworlds for quite a while and I am very pleased with these models. I also love that we had Eshin Skaven and Witch Hunters this season, nice throwback to Mordheim.

It will be interesting to see if they receive rules for Cursed City.

I really love the armoured crossbow guy with his bomb-bolt.

Absolutely. Warband composition gives all the right nostalgia hits too with two hounds included.

I wonder, are these guys a bit of a preview for what the Dawnbringer Crusades will bring? Because I'm all for it, if that's the case.

I have collected everything for Warhammer Underworlds since release but decided that last week with no one else playing it in my town for over 2 years it will just be models I like.

I like these witch hunters.

A great and dark spin on what should be a good guys warband.

That haircut on the pistol wielding warrior makes it my favorite model

Also just realised the crossbowman has a bomb on the end of the crossbow bolt.

Big fan of these guys. Would also be fun to make into an Inquisitor warband.

Nice! They're suitably grim and gritty.

On second thoughts the models do have a good variety of weapons, builds and poses where each of the characters clearly have different roles. Thats good for most skirmish games I suppose...

Awwwww go on then. We'll add them to next month's order.

Great for conversion, you also got 2 doggos in neutral stance

That is also true!

Y'know my current Frostgrave warband is the Godsworn Hunt models, and my 40K factions are Harlequins and Imperial Knights. There is also a Nemesis Warbringer in my AT collection and Blackstone Fortress has somehow managed to set up home on my shelf...

...all of which I shook my fist in the air and swore I'd never buy in a million years!

Hello new Mordheim Warband!

Hexbane's Hunters on preorder next week

EDIT: no change on prices £26, €34, $42

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

Those are fantastic!

Sadly, Shao Khan has let himself go since the 90s...
