Saturday Oct 22, 2022
Saturday Oct 22, 2022
We breakdown the first rivals deck in the Gnarlwood box set, Tooth & Claw! This deck is all about invading enemy territory and hitting your foes hard. Join us as we breakdown the savage mechanic granted via the plot card before jumping into the objectives, gambits, and upgrades.
For newer or returning players, Rivals decks are designed from the ground up to play as a cohesive strategy out of the box and introduce bespoke rules to your game. It's a great way to jump back in or even join the community!

Saturday Oct 22, 2022
In this episode we review the second of the new warbands in the Gnarlwood box set, The Gnarlspirit Pack - a band of Darkoath warriors regarded as outcasts by even their own murderous kind. Each has been consumed by an animalistic spirit which allows them to transform on the battle field and fight in beast, regular, and inspired forms. Darkoath gone wild! Join us as we discuss the fighters and review their rivals deck: objectives, gambits, and upgrades and discuss their viability in Rivals, Nemesis, and Championship.

The new season of Kill Team is kicking of and GW sent us a copy of the Into the Dark box set to review. Aman & Zach are joined by the number one ranked Kill Team player in the world, Ace, to discuss the contents of the box. We go over the big rule changes, kill teams themselves (including their stratagems, equipment, and fighters), and what these changes mean for the meta. Zach is a big KT player himself so the episode is filled with great conversation and knowledge.

Friday Sep 02, 2022
Friday Sep 02, 2022
In this episode, we talk about what the Nova Open meta is going to look like and how Aman prepared for the upcoming Grand Clash. The crew also chats about what they've been up to towards the tail end of the summer and how they've been enjoying the hobby lately. We also pick our favorite cards from the recently released Hexbane's Hunters set. We actually did record a full episode but about halfway through, the audio just goes blank. So this is our attempt to that lost episode justice. Good chat all around!

Their goal is simple, to scour the region in the cleansing fires of justice and order.

Path to Glory 85: Warcry Heart of Ghur
Saturday Jul 30, 2022
Saturday Jul 30, 2022
Games Workshop sent us a free preview copy of the newest Warcry box set, Heart of Ghur. This set kicks off the newest season of Warcry which includes brand new rules, mechanics, and warbands. Zach was quite keen to do this episode and shares his love for the fast paced, brutal skirmish game. As we are an Underworlds podcast, we view the box through the lens of an Underworlder who might be interested in taking the plunge into Warcry, but isn't so sure.
Hopefully this episode convinces you to brave the brutal and savage woods of Ghur. Just watch out for dudes trying to inject you with plague ridden swamp water. Yeah, best to stay clear. Oh, and watch out for the bull helmet dudes too. They'll light you on fire. You know what, maybe just avoid everyone.

Thursday Jul 28, 2022
Thursday Jul 28, 2022
In this episode, Aman is joined by special guest, Nick - the Italian Underworlds Stallion! We kick off things off by chatting about the Hexbane's Hunters previews before diving into Nick's undefeated Zarbag's Gitz deck that podiumed at the Warhammer World Mini-Clash. Nick recounts his games and his strategies, which provide deep insight into how he pilots the diminutive fighters. Inexorably, we end up chatting about the meta and discuss who we think is currently sitting on top.
In addition, we have a slightly different 'Sleeve it or Leave it" section where we discuss whether or not Dark Inversion should be restricted. We end the episode with some rapid fire (shoutout to my boy Ironhail) questions!
