  Warband Durability in Warhammer Underworlds Introduction: Why Durability Matters In Warhammer Underworlds, victory is all about scoring Glory. To score, your fighters need to be on the battlefield, working towards your Objectives and engaging enemy fighters. Naturally, the longer your fighters survive, the more opportunities you have to score Objective cards, and the less Bounty you give away to your opponent. This is why durability, the time it takes for a warband to be removed from play,   is the subject of this article. In this article, I will attempt to break down durability into a single, understandable variable: the number of successful attack activations required to remove a warband. This is a simplification, we are not simulating entire games, but isolating durability under a set of standard conditions.

From the silent depths of Shyish they were summoned once more, for the God of Death had turned his pitiless gaze upon the Spitewood of Ghyran. Something within that forest defied his dominion, and such defiance could not be permitted to endure. Mist thickened and curled as the Briar Queen slipped from the veil between worlds, her thorn-crowned form gliding above the fertile loam.
