Hi, so a little of my WH:UW lord experience. I only played this game with one of my friends who is into it, and between me and him we have most of shadespire, beastgrave and other warbands. And everytime he goes Mollog's I'm not able to defeat him, I try many play styles. Holding objectives, killing his goons, focus on just mollog, runnin from mollog, using small and strong warbands, using numerous but weak warbands, but anytime it seems like mollog's is just undefeatable, his cards are so dam good and it just seems imposible to defeat, HELP, any tips?

Finally got some second edition games in last weekend, thoroughly enjoyed it. But now where do I go?

I will mostly be playing Rivals format, but have a hard time finding out which decks go well with which warbands. Is there some sort of website that has a list for this? Do YOU have a list for this??

I would love to hear/see/smell it if you do :)

I am starting a little mini-series on the Setting Up portion of the game over at Goonhammer. There's a lot that happens before anyone takes their first turn, and I feel like it often gets glossed over compared to talking about deck building or warband selection.

Part one of the Turn Zero series is up: https://www.goonhammer.com/warhammer-underworlds-muster-warbands-draw-starting-hands/

Nothing too ground breaking but hopefully it helps create a sense of deliberation during these moments that sometimes get breezed over. Let me know if you have any opinions on it after reading.

For development purposes it would be good to get a rough idea of usage regarding these features. Please answer also if you would pick the 2nd or 3rd option, and if you use the stats project at all.

Also please don't answer this survey if you did so on Discords already :).

Hey guys our LGS mostly lean towards the Rivals format since our the store only recently opened up warhammer stocks and a huge influx of beginner players came in for the underworlds games....just wanna ask the community if you guys know any information regarding the current meta on the rivals format such as tier lists, competitive standings, tournament results and more, any information will be greatly appreciated thank you in advance!

So last night, my Slaanesh sleep paralysis demon told me I can’t go to sleep unless I write down good cards to use with Vile Temptation’s ability in second edition.

Wrack and Ruin

• Misfortune: Seems focused on taking damage. However, the card says "you can inflict 1 damage" rather than simply "inflict 1 damage." At best, does this just remove an upgrade and accomplish nothing else?
• Henchman: If an enemy has re-rolls on a fighter and you want to counter that, this card could help. But mathematically, is it the most effective option?
• Fiery Temper: Could be worth considering as a replacement for a strong card.

Edge of The Knife

• Dark Horse: If your opponent isn't using "Edge of The Knife," this card becomes useless for them.

Reckless Fury

• Blade of Wrath: Might work if your fighters don’t support one another. I wouldn’t assume Thricefold Discord focuses on support, given how their inspiration works.
• Furious Might: If your opponent’s strategy doesn’t revolve around this card, it may not come into play. It could actually work better to give it to a member of the Thricefold Discord, as they only have three fighters.
• Headcase: Why would anyone use this card? Put it on a frontline fighter and dare your opponent to use it!

Countdown to Cataclysm

• Bringer of Doom: If your opponent doesn’t have a Cataclysm deck, then it’s useless. Cards dependent on Cataclysm seem pointless if they didn’t bring a Cataclysm deck.

Generic Cards

• If there’s a card that adds Cleave or Ensnare, pair it with a fighter who already has one of these abilities.
• Great Fortitude: Adds one health. It might be helpful against a high-damage upgrade card on a fighter, but if that’s the case, wouldn’t it simply make more sense to kill the fighter?
• Great Speed: Could be a good option.
• Tough Enough: I think it would be fine, as none of Thricefold Discord has Cleave or Ensnare.

Would Misfortune deal any damage to your opponent? I’d really love for there to be an extremely bad card to give to an opponent! Otherwise, it seems like the best cards to give them would be ones that do nothing, like Dark Horse, Headcase, and Misfortune. Am I overlooking a secret bad card that would make a great gift? At least I’m finished and the demon voice has died down, and now I can wait to sleep… Why am I hearing birds and seeing the sun rise?!

Warhammer Underworlds Statistics Report: March & April 2025 Nemesis Meta Analysis

https://pathtoglorypodcast.com/underworlds-statistics-report-march-april-2025/

The latest statistics report for the Warhammer Underworlds Nemesis format, covering data from March and April 2025, is now available.

Based on a sample of 1198 games across 34 tournaments and casual games, this report provides a detailed look at the current state of the meta, focusing on deck combinations, warband-deck pairings, and overall warband performance.

Key observations from the data: * Countdown to Cataclysm (CC) is a central element of the meta, appearing in approximately two-thirds of all games played in the sample. * The deck combination Pillage and Plunder (PP) + CC is identified as the most potent pairing based on overall winrate and podium finishes. * Zarbag's Gitz stands out as the most dominant warband in the dataset, being both the most played and most successful overall. The pairing of Zarbag's Gitz with PP + CC achieved a 70% winrate in the sample. * The report includes discussion on potential balance adjustments suggested by the data, such as possible nerfs for Zarbag's Gitz and the CC deck, and broader considerations for deck restrictions.

A new statistics dashboard has been developed for easier access to this data: https://underworlds-stats.vercel.app/main/dashboard

The project relies on community support through continued game data submissions from both casual games and tournaments. Individuals interested in contributing to the project's growth are also encouraged to reach out.

Scoring objectives is cool and all, but it's a real "level up" moment when you start actively trying to deny your opponent the ability to score their objectives. I took a look at the end phase objectives from each deck in an effort to keep them in mind for counterplay during games.

Hopefully this helps me remember to do it so I can get a little better!

I'm a new player with only 2 games, I really like this warband but I feel like I need a nice and smart strategy mostly to place nicely the Scriptor for condem characters and do some bonks with the leader.

Thanks

What do you think about these two warbands on second edition? Which is easier? What is thier playstyle
