Games Workshop - Warhammer Underworlds: Hexbane's Hunters

Product Information

It is important to note that they can’t be hunters. Look, it may not make sense because canines are natural hunters. But, this definitely done for gameplay and balance reasons. I think it makes sense. Plus, they have cool abilities to make up for it.

Stormsire's Cursebreakers • Thorns of the Briar Queen • Eyes of the Nine • Zarbag's Gitz • Mollog's Mob • Godsworn Hunt • Ylthari's Guardians • Thundrik's Profiteers We finally have our third warband of the Nethermaze season! We’ve only waited 109 days. Like no, seriously. The Nethermaze core box was reviewed on April 23. Regardless, it’s a great day to be a Warhammer Underworlds fan! Lives Well Spent - A dual two glory objective that requires you to score three objectives, and have two or more friendly hunters out of action. A new underworlds warband has arrived at last, Hexbane’s Hunters. The first thing you’ll notice is that this is the first human warband in grand alliance… OH MY GODKING THERE’S DOGS IN IT! Oh look at them. They’re such good boys! Okay let’s start again. Wounds follow a nice linear relationship to points, I don’t know whether the designers work out the points or the wounds first but we’ll be going for the wounds first and working out the baseline points from that. We can then make adjustments as needed.

Who Are Hexbane's Hunters?

Penumbral Key: This is a classic style of card. It’s not particularly hard to do, especially with some power card support. That being said, I feel like warbands who want to score using keys tend to be a bit more passive/defensive. This may be great for aggro warbands but the risk is that when you get aggressive, your fighters can die too. I like guaranteed glory and this can be an avenue for it. It may require some work, however.

Proof of Guilt: A hybrid with 3 potential scoring conditions, the first of its kind! I like this idea of this card – it’s a win more card. I think the first condition has no chance. The last condition is decently reliable, though it may depends on who wins the rolloff. There will also be matches where you are the beatdown and you have to bum rush into enemy territory for condition 2. It’s also great for when your opponent is the beatdown and bum rushes you. That all being said, I think the most reliable way to score this card is via the third condition. However, I think that may be a trap. Your opponent can score 6 cards, but they may do it after you have missed your window to score this card. Also, are you going to give up going first in a round when you should to try to score this? I think it’s too complicated. It’s not a bad cards by any means, just not my cup of tea. So for 18 wounds we’re talking about 150 points. We can adjust that up or down as we decide to add extra features. A further 66 cards to enhance your fighters and provide new tactics and challenges for your games of Warhammer Underworlds: Nethermaze, including: push-fit Hexbane’s Hunters miniatures – no glue required to assemble, cast in solemn grey to stand out even when unpainted. I feel like Brydget is the worst and best hunter in this warband. Un-inspired, she feels like someone you want to use as bait. However, when inspired (which is hard to do reliably) she becomes a terror. But that’s the thing, she’s not meant to be survivable. The fighters in this warband are built to die. They’re also built to take the enemy with them. Brydget can do that. You might only get one go – she is the very definition of a glass cannon. But boy when she goes off, it’ll be spectacular. Maybe even game defining.Barbed Promise • Darkdelve • Desperance • Duskhenge † • Gaolintar • Greyspire • Harkraken's Bane • Hollenwald • Murmurus • New Sadoria † • Scant Hope • Tarnastipol • Umbramox push-fit Hexbane's Hunters miniatures – no glue required to assemble, cast in solemn grey to stand out even when unpainted.

Prayers of the Faithful: I think this is more of a rivals card than championship. It’s essentially a more balanced No Time. Miniatures in this box are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel paints. On The Scent - This 1 glory objective can be scored in an end phase if one or more friendly beasts/companions are within 2 hexes of an enemy leader, or if one friendly fighter are adjacent to an enemy leader. Easy to score for aggressive warbands, and great for Hexbane's Hunters who have two companions. Before anyone gets excited, this video isn’t about a GW release for Underworlds fighters. As of this video, we’re still waiting. In the meantime, I am going to talk about how to get beautiful models like these onto the table for a game of Warcry. I’ll he looking at two different approaches. There’s only two one wound fighters in Warhammer Underworlds, Spinefin, and the Brimstone Horrors, so Grotbiter and Ratspike are going to be the lowest, or tied for lowest, wound fighters on most Underworlds boards. There is some debate about whether the dogs who “can’t be Hunters” can benefit from [Punching Up] at all since it would have to make them hunters to fully resolve, but for now it’s a theoretically nice temporary damage boost for them. [Leeched Strength] is less controversial. Even inspired the dogs only hit for one damage, but with their reaction letting them move around they should frequently find themselves next to someone stronger who they can wrestle the weapon from and start hitting with it.

So would I recommend Hexbane’s Hunters? If you like them, sure. Personally I wouldn’t buy them because I’m not a fan of how they look and their gameplay style doesn’t appeal to me. They’re not bad, far from, just not what I look for in a warband. As I said, if you like the look of them from this review, then you won’t be disappointed. It gets a lot better if you only play Rivals or Rivals+/Warlords format. We could make him a Boltboy Boss and have the war band as Kruleboyz. The dogs will be stab-grots, a little slow at 4 move but at least cheap. The other ranged fighters can be Hobgrot Slittas or Man-Skewer Boltboys. The big guy could be one of the Killabosses. All that could definitely work.
