Introduction In my last article, I discussed how I choose the warband I want to take to a tournament. Read the article  here . Spoiler alert : I chose Cyreni’s Razors as my warband for this season of Warhammer Underworlds . I now need to decide on a playstyle and a deck pairing for my fighters. In this article, I want to talk through: Choosing my warband’s playstyle Picking the Rivals decks to use for my Nemesis pairing Deciding how many cards to take Playstyle Cyreni’s Razors are listed in Warhammer Underworlds as a Flex warband. Having played them, I would agree, this is an accurate description of their playstyle. They’re designed to exert control over the board state , while also picking off a few of the opponent’s fighters . My idea is to build a deck that primarily focuses on gaining glory through a mix of attacks and control over feature tokens . That gives me the flexibility to respond to different opponent playstyles,  whether that’s aggressive, contr...

Playing in Warhammer Underworlds: First Edition Tournaments I've been playing Warhammer Underworlds competitively for a couple of years now. I've had a bit of success. I generally finish within the top 8 of any event I attend, and I even won a small Rivals tournament. During the first edition of Underworlds, I used a range of warbands including Magore’s Fiends , Xandire’s Truthseekers , and Lady Harrow’s Mournflight . I always wanted the Truthseekers to perform better, but they never had the glory ceiling to be truly competitive. As a result, I switched to Lady Harrow’s Mournflight, partly because I have a large Nighthaunt force, and partly because I liked their faction cards and played with them for a full tournament season. The Truthseekers were the warband I first learned to play competitively with. They taught me about the importance of glory ceilings, the reliability of different playstyles, and how you can be "winning" through kills while still losing in Obj...

On the 5th of April 2025, I once again headed to Redhill, England, for another tournament hosted by the Agents of Sigmar. For a few months, I had been wanting to play Daggok's Stab-Ladz. After talking to Harry (aka Slippy), I decided to give them a go. In the week leading up to the tournament, I played two games on Tabletop Simulator (TTS)—one against Harry’s Looncourt and another against Pete’s (one of the Agents of Sigmar) Headsman’s Curse. I won both games, and in each one, I learned a little more about my deck. My Stab-Ladz My deck is built using cards from Countdown to Cataclysm (C2C) and Wrack and Ruin (WR). The strategy behind the deck is to dish out chip damage to weaken my opponent’s fighters before finishing them off with the Stab-Ladz. Additionally, the deck is capable of continuing to deal damage and potentially score objectives even if all of my fighters are taken out.
