Games Workshop - Warhammer Underworlds: Hrothgorn's Mantrappers

Product Information

I used a bit of tree to mount Rudolf so he looks like he’s taking off, and I used the biggest base I could find to put it all together after I’d painted the component parts separately using Contrast paints. What this means is that they may not have access to all abilities available by their counterparts despite the same profile and higher points. While sometimes the cost is justified by having access to specific Bladeborn abilities, most of the time the difference is only 1 or 2 wounds more. So, when this article refers to an ability being a Double, a Triple or a Quad, it refers to this system. It might sound a bit confusing, but takes no time to get used to when you start playing

The Ever-Hanged is cheaper than Varclav, with better damage than a normal Chainrasp (1/4) and slightly higher wounds (10). Drizgit is a much improved Squig Herder with the same ability to prod Squigs to make a bonus move, 2″ range melee weapon, higher damage (2/4) and higher Toughness (4) and wounds (12).They have access to all Ogor abilities, including On the Mawpath (3″ Move), Bullcharge (damage after movement) and Might Makes Right for the leader (free move or action after taking down an enemy). The Tyrant is one of the most expensive unit in this already costly warband. For a third of your total Wanderglutt (on a standard 1000 point game) you will get this massive leader armed with a 2″ Strength 6 damage 4/8 melee weapon, Toughness 5 and a respectful 42 Wounds.

The Beast is Slain] – Similar to [ Successful Hunt] and [ Not so Fast] , this is functionally “kill something”. A good easy to score surge. Summon Stalagsquig(Double, Mollog):set up Stalagsquig (once per battle) nearby but not engaged to any enemy. The first opponent to pass near Stalagsquig gets damaged. Clean Kills] – A Direchasm aggressive warband staple, this does limit your flexibility by requiring you to focus fire enemy fighters down prior to scoring. However, it doesn’t have any territory stipulation and will naturally happen if you kill 2-3 fighters, which makes it worth it. 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.

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 Fiendish Lure(Double, Prince Duvalle):add 1 to the damage on critical hits to enemies within range of Prince Duvalle. Bloodscent(Triple, Riptooth):perform a bonus move with all friendly characters within range of him. Bone Krusha(Triple, Hedkrakka):a reliable chance to damage an enemy within range. Shorter range allocates more damage.

By far the cheapest unit in the warband and one of the lowest in the game, the Gnoblar is unimpressive with 6 wounds, Toughness 3 and Strength 2. But hey, you need some bodies! A: No. Well-rewarded specifically demands that the fighter in question be given a third or subsequent upgrade. The Familiar counter is not an upgrade that is given to the fighter Not all warbands have abilities usable by all components that would justify their higher price, and sometimes they are not worth the cost as some are really underwhelming. Considering the high strength, they are going to hit on a 3+ for a potential 12/24 damage on a single shot!

Play Style

Gryselle is an upgraded Slaughter Queen with more wounds and more damage on critical hit. In addition she has access to 3 abilities specific to this Bladeborn warband and 1 extra reactions. And she can still use Daughter’s generic abilities and reaction, plus the Leader ability.
