Games Workshop - Warhammer Underworlds: Hrothgorn's Mantrappers

Product Information

While this objective hand has been pretty slow, it has been very scoreable. Thanks to Gnoblar Scramble, we’re likely scoring this as well. So we’re looking at 3-5 glory in the end phase, not counting glory from kills or Primacy. Not a bad start considering the speed of the hand. This means that our objective hands in rounds 2 and 3 will likely be very gas, as we’ll be more likely to draw into surges, meaning that scoring [ Aggressive Strategy] is less awkward. As always, this section is written based on a sample hand draw, and highlights some theoretical lines of play to go with it, which doesn’t necessarily reflect the reality of playing the game. What to do when… Path to Victory] – The main purpose of your Gnoblars is to score this card. While there are other options (a personal favourite of mine is running [ Test of Courage] and using [ Gnoblar Scramble] on two Gnoblars to score it and deny opponents any future Primacy), this is generally a good way to use them to guarantee some solid glory. Intimidating Display] – One of the advantages of being a big boy is that most of the time, you’ll score this without even doing anything. Against some warbands, you might have to throw on [ Massive Bulk] to get it over the line (here’s looking at you, [ Mollog] ), but it’s a small price to pay for (mostly) guaranteed glory. Massive Bulk] – A great +Wounds card, this one takes Hrothgorn to absurd levels of survivability once inspired. You do have to be mindful about the penalty to movement that this incurs, but depending on when and where you apply it, it may not matter too much.

Savage Bolt(Quad, Grashrak):up to 6 damage to an enemy within 12″ and a good chance to prevent his activation the same round. The Arena Mortis expansion contains a double-sided game board that you can also use in games of Warhammer Underworlds, as well as 20 universal gambit cards and 20 universal upgrade cards. You’ll also get your hands on the Arena Mortis rulebook and all the tokens you need to play in the arena, including hazard tokens showing some fanged maws that are just waiting to chew your fighters up.Living Avalanche] – A faction [ Great Strength] just for Hrothgorn. Unconditional damage is always good, and is used to help us score the second condition of [ Awesome Predator] . Ylthari is a Thornwych, a profile not existing in Warcry before. The closest would be a Branchwych, with which she shares both weapon profiles but her movement is 4″ instead of 6″. She has her own ability, The Reaping, that allows to damage any enemy within 6″ on a 2+. If you have a Quad high enough you can do some serious damage. Zharkus and Ghartok are Blood Warriors with Goreaxe and Gorefist, with access to same profile and abilities at an increased cost. Face of Da Bad Moon(Double, Zarbag):an enemy within range needs to perform a bonus disengage action or take damage if they cannot.

If you’re a fan of multiplayer Warhammer Underworlds, you’ll know that there’s nothing better than ruining an opponent’s best-laid plans. The Seal of Ordolos is perfect for such occasions. Storm of Eldritch Lightning(Triple, Averon): a change to perform quite some damage (up to 18) to an enemy within range.

Peachy

A: Yes. Remember that if a fighter is taken out of action, counters are cleared from their upgrades.

Hrothgorn Mantrappers surely aim for the role that Mollog's Mob play so far. It is strongly focused around the main character and from the fluff that covers that role in a proper way. Even the way the designer explained how the inspiration worked, that as soon as Hrothgorn guzzles down an enemy fighter, he is strengthened and the others are relieved that he didn't eat them. The Gluttons are the bulk of the Ogor side of the Wanderglutts and their leader, the Crusher, is one of the heaviest hitters in the game. Replace] [ Momentarily Sated] – This ain’t happening. Faction [ Annihilation] is still Annihilation. The other champion, literally The Champion, has less base damage but higher critical (1/5). He is much cheaper because of his reduced Toughness (3).The Farstriders are a Stormcast Eternals Vanguard Chamber Bladeborn warband from Warhammer Underworlds Season 1. Something stirs in the Gnarlroot Wargrove… It’s a stunning Sylvaneth army painted by Forge World studio painter Sam Wilson! Alternatively, in case of a Double with a low score, Rush can provide 1” extra for both activations allowing an Ogor to run 10” across the field in one activation. Hrothgorn and his party of hangers-on were ranging ahead of their Alfrostun when the Icebrow Hunter caught what he thought was the scent of abundant prey beasts somewhere up ahead. The group hungrily followed the trail… it wasn’t long before he realised they’d been lured into the gullet of Beastgrave. Hrothgorn set about finding a way out, his loyal Frost Sabre and a ragtag band of Gnoblars always at his heels.
