Games Workshop is preparing for the launch of a new edition of Warhammer Underworlds, with the Embergard core set available for pre-order next week. The Embergard set brings updated rules, warbands, and Rivals decks centered on four different playstyles. The set includes two warbands: the Emberwatch, a team of Stormcast Eternals from the Vanguard Chamber, and Zikkit’s Tunnelpack, a group of Skaven from Clan Skryre. Additionally, the box contains four Rivals decks, a rulebook, tokens, and a double-sided game board.
The release lineup includes several other items of interest. The Da Red Gobbo’s A-bomb-inable Snowman offers a Christmas-themed miniature with Da Red Gobbo and his Snotling companion building a snowman atop an explosive. This limited miniature will be available while supplies last.
For Legiones Astartes collectors, the Melee Weapons Upgrade Set introduces a range of melee weapons suitable for MKVI and MKIII models, with options like chainswords and thunder hammers. Also releasing for the Horus Heresy, the Blast Markers and Templates kit provides accessory markers to represent large-scale weaponry effects.
The upcoming White Dwarf issue in November will feature multiplayer rules for Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Legends updates, painting breakdowns, and scenario cards. The issue will also include a code to unlock Isabella Mariken in Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus.
Black Library is also introducing new material, including The High Kâhl’s Oath by Gav Thorpe, the first Black Library novel focused on the Leagues of Votann, available in a limited special edition. Additionally, Long Live Da Red Gobbo by Justin Woolley and the Da Red Gobbo Collection bring together stories of Grot resistance against Ork rule. Both will be offered in hardback and audiobook formats.
In anticipation of the Embergard release, the Warhammer Community team is organizing a league to showcase the new warbands and decks. Loremasters will also feature additional content focused on the T’au Empire. The new edition of Warhammer Underworlds is expected to bring notable changes to the game’s structure and gameplay experience.
