Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire

Nagash’s curse traps the Katophrane city between light and shadow, leaving treasure seekers caught in recurring deaths. The boxed game sets three Stormcast against five Reavers on double-sided boards, with objectives, ploys and upgrades adding hidden plans and deck construction to the contest.

Deathshroud Bodyguard

Mortarion’s executioners accompany favoured champions as both protection and a warning that their conduct is being watched. Hooded armour, manreapers, chemical weapons and plague bells combine the Legion’s ancient appearance with its corruption.

Blightlord Terminators

Distorted Cataphractii armour protects exceptionally resilient shock troops. Individual mutations and different axes, flails, launchers and heavy guns give the multipart unit variety while retaining a shared identity as veterans of the Long War.
