  Thricefold Discord - A Warhammer Underworlds Warband Review Introduction The Spitewood loomed ahead, its tangled boughs blocking what little light tried to pierce the shadows of the undergrowth. Even in Ghyran, this was a place where life had festered into bitterness. If there were whispers of secrets buried deep, they might linger here. A cloud of cloying perfume filled the air as the Thricefold Discord entered the forest, drawn by that possibility. In their endless quest to find their lost master, they sought sensation, rumour, and echo in all its forms. Even here, in this hateful wood, there might be a trace of Slaanesh. Vexmor the Excessively Indolent [1] lumbered forward, his sheer presence pressing down on the forest around him. At his side, Vashtiss the Coiled [2] wove subtle sorceries, drawing out the forest’s ancient malice and testing it for meaning and memory.

The Exiled Dead: A Warhammer Underworlds Warband Review The Spitewood lay ahead, its twisted boughs knotted together to form a dark canopy. Deintalos needed supplies of Aqua Ghyranis to further his experiments with the Force Dynamic. With a silent gesture of his stave, the archwalkers lurched into the gloom of the forest. The Necrarch drifted forward at the centre of his macabre procession.

Behind him clattered the Exiled Dead, each animated corpse bound to his command through the precise manipulation of the Force Dynamic. Limbs jerked and straightened as unseen energies tugged at bone and sinew, guiding their awkward strides across the forest floor. Archwalkers lurched between the trees, their unnatural gait scraping bark and snapping brittle branches as they obeyed their master’s silent instructions. Somewhere within the Spit...

Reliable Attacks in Warhammer Underworlds Welcome back to another look at the mechanics behind Warhammer Underworlds. Last time, I took a look at the durability of Warhammer Underworlds warbands, which I defined as: Durability is defined as the total number of successful 2 damage attacks required to remove all fighters in a warband. As I progressed through that analysis, I looked at how Saves adjusted this durability, and then I considered how the number of successful hits reduced the effectiveness of Saves to the point of returning the warband to its base durability. Once an attack reaches two or more successes, the defender’s Save becomes unreliable. This is the point at which the Save collapses, and the fighter’s durability drops back to its base value. This is what I now refer to as the Save Breakpoint . If you would like to read the previous article before we proceed then here is the link . Suffice to say, this led me to another question: when does an attack profile reliably resul...
