SET DETAILS
Release Date: April 2022
Those warbands who followed the spiralling labyrinth of Harrowdeep to its very nadir have found themselves in an even more nightmarish place – the Nethermaze. Once the dungeon of Harrowdeep’s architects, this bizarre and ever-morphing domain of pure shadow magic is a maddening labyrinth, full of traps and dangers of all kinds. It’s in this oppressive darkness that your warband must fight, never trusting the ground beneath their own feet.
This set contains:
- The complete rules for Warhammer Underworlds – a tight and concise ruleset, honed over many seasons. This expansion adds fresh new mechanics like Maps and Domains, as well as chilling new lore and art that delves deeper still into the shadowy setting established by Harrowdeep
- The complete Shadeborn warband
- The complete Skittershank’s Clawpack warband
- 2 double-sided game boards to represent the uncanny corridors of the Nethermaze
- Warhammer Underworlds tokens, including objectives, wound markers, glory points, and many, many more
- 48 universal cards – gambits, objectives, and upgrades that can be used by any warband, perfect for changing up your Shadeborn and Skittershank’s Clawpack decks, or expanding on your favourite warband as you bring them into the new setting
- Warhammer Underworlds tokens, including objectives, wound markers, glory points, and many, many more
- 36 Grand Alliance cards – gambits, objectives, and upgrades that can be used by any warband belonging to that Grand Alliance
