Description

Warhammer Underworlds: The Exiled Dead – Necromancy in the Gnarlwood

Unleash forbidden power upon the cursed realm with The Exiled Dead, a sinister warband expansion for the ultimate competitive skirmish game, Warhammer Underworlds. Led by the disgraced necromancer Deintalos, this group of shambling horrors and resurrected thralls introduces a unique and terrifying playstyle focused on controlling the flow of battle through dark magic and relentless, expendable fighters.

Warhammer Underworlds blends tactical miniature movement with strategic card play. The Exiled Dead offers players a resilient and attrition-based strategy, utilizing their unique ability to raise the dead and overwhelm opponents through sheer numbers and necromantic support. This expansion is a must-have for players seeking a thematic, control-focused force in their tabletop gaming collection.

Lore: The Necromancer and His Thralls

The Exiled Dead are led by Deintalos the Exile, a former lord of Shyish who was cast out for his blasphemous experiments. Driven by his obsession with mastering the art of undeath, he now wanders the realms, accompanied by his grotesque retinue. This warband is a disturbing mix: the powerful necromancer himself, the hulking vampire Vlash, and a collection of reanimated, disposable thralls.

Their presence in the Gnarlwood is a blight, their dark magic corrupting the environment around them. The lore emphasizes their resilience; even when a thrall is destroyed, Deintalos often has the means to bring them back, ensuring the necromancer’s will is carried out regardless of the cost in undead flesh.

Gameplay: Controlling the Battlefield with Dark Magic

The core mechanic of The Exiled Dead revolves around the necromancer’s influence. Deintalos is crucial for activating special abilities and ensuring the thralls remain effective. While the individual thralls may be weak, their numbers and the constant threat of reanimation make them excellent for claiming objectives and tying up enemy fighters.

This set is supplied as a complete Rival Deck, meaning you receive a fully pre-constructed deck of 32 cards, ready to use straight out of the box. This makes it an ideal entry point for new players or a quick addition for veterans. The deck focuses heavily on utilizing the unique warband mechanics, rewarding careful positioning and strategic use of gambits to maximize the output of the undead minions.

Key Tactical Elements:

• Necromantic Support: Deintalos’s abilities are central to the warband’s success, often allowing for fighter manipulation or powerful magical attacks.
• High Fighter Count: Allows for effective objective control and swarming tactics.
• Resilience: The ability to return fighters to the fray makes them difficult to eliminate permanently.
• Complete Rival Deck: Includes 32 unique cards (fighter cards, objectives, gambits, and upgrades) tailored to the necromantic playstyle.

Hobby and Collection

The miniatures in The Exiled Dead set are highly detailed, multi-part plastic figures supplied unpainted.
