The Warhammer Underworlds: Nethermaze box comes with a pair of game boards printed to look like the swirling, spooky underwater depths that reside deep beneath Harrowdeep. Still, at the end of the round I was still 1-0 up.We drew and discarded as appropriate, and the groan that came from Lizzie as she flipped her Objective and Gambit/Upgrade cards over told me that I was, perhaps, in a good position going into the last round. Round 3 Amongthe set’s 48 new Universal cards, there are 16 gambits, 16 upgrades, and 16 objectives – of which the handful that most jumped out at us (from first riffles through) are: Regular readers will know that Lizzie absolutely hammered me when we had a go with the Harrowdeep set (and I’m still not over that useless bird the Stormcasts have on their side), so I’ve got a score to settle this time around. Set Up

The leader of this 4 model warband is Shroud Queen Slythael. She wears a faceless mask and seems to float on her cloak while it is turning to smoke, an impressive feat of miniatures design. Be careful with her staff though, this is one of the thinnest pieces of plastic I’ve ever seen. The other Shroudblades are armed with a mixture of blades and a crossbow pistol, which should make for plenty of gameplay options. Chum the Waters– A two-glory Objective that scores in an End Phase if your opponent has one or more wounded Fighters on a feature token It’s really important to note that, whilst this is a clear and concise book in the grand scheme of rulebooks (each section builds on the previous – for example, the “Playing the Game” section is immediately followed by a more in-depth look at what makes up each step in a battle round), this is not a resource designed to be used by brand-new players of the game as an introduction to Underworlds. This isn’t a beginners guide to the system – that came out in the Starter Set.Smoke and Mirrors– A ploy that lets two of your fighters swap places anywhere on the board, so long as one is in a Cover Hex There are two things in the wallet: the all-important rulebook as well as the assembly guide for the miniatures. The guide is only one sheet of A4 as the miniatures are push-fit, so super easy to put together. The various warbands stumbling through Harrowdeep have arrived at this new zone, so called the Nethermaze, and it is within the confines of this staggering and maddening labyrinth that Season 6 of Warhammer Underworlds takes place. In the image below, the hex-shaped counters on the left are either gloom hex tokens, double-sided scatter tokens, or double-sided feature tokens. The silver and gold tokens in the top centre are glory point tokens. The square tokens on the right are Move/Charge tokens and Guard/Stagger tokens. The red counters and counters with gemstones on them are wound/generic counters. The little tokens with the Underworlds logo on them are activation tokens, and the final pile in the bottom-right corner are Raise tokens. The print on these boards is excellent. Each one is unique yet fits the underwater theme perfectly. Hexes are clearly outlined, as are the various icons on each, which will make playing the game all the easier. Tokens

Nethermaze comes with a whole host of goodies to really pimp up your gaming experience. We’ll have a look at the gaming boards, the tokens, the cards and the dice that come in the box in this section. Game BoardsI’ve always been quite impressed with the Underworlds rulebooks. On the whole, Warhammer rulebooks have a habit of being a little bit, shall we say, overawing. They can be extraordinarily jargon-heavy, long-winded, and have to explain key concepts and rules to the Nth detail that can leave players feeling confused and frustrated. This is Underworlds’ biggest selling-point: the game has a very understandable rhythm to it that’s very easy to get into. The more rounds you play, the easier and easier players will find it to get into the game’s swing. Our final Round only took us about ten minutes, as we were well into the pattern of how the various turns progressed. Rumours abound of powerful relics to be found in the ever-shifting labyrinth known as the Nethermaze, located in the deepest layers of Harrowdeep. At Morathi-Khaine’s command, the penumbral Shadeborn venture into the darkness to find remnants of the shadow magic used to construct it – but little do they know the devious Clans Eshin have their own schemes afoot. Kixi-Taka the Diviner is blessed by his Slann masters, and makes use of esoteric Old One technology to lead the Starblood Stalkers into battle and usher along the Great Plan. Two skinks join forces with Otapatl the Chameleon Skink – and that taciturn mass of scale and muscle known as Klaq-Trok.

The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted,a replacement will be sent to you. The very first thing players need to do before they can begin playing Nethermaze is set up the battlefield. The battlefield is made up of the two double-sided boards that come with the box. Each side is covered with hexes which divide up the battlefield. Some of these hexes all have different rules applied to them. Hedkrakka’s Madmob is a gang of four Bonesplitterz Orruks. Led by Hedkrakka, the self-proclaimed Gob of Gork, a potent wizard who is convinced that Gorkamorka speaks to him through his pet squig-snake. Toofdagga, Wollop da Skul, and Dakko Sharp-Stikka join Hedkrakka on the quest to hunt the mightiest prey.

There is a lot, though. As I discovered when I played the Harrowdeep box, getting through my first game of Underworlds as a newcomer to the rules can feel like a bit of a slog. There’s still lots of stuff that needs to be done and an awful lot to remember when playing Underworlds, so even though the rulebook isn’t massive, there’s still a lot of information in it that will take some time to get to grips with. Each warband provides its own painting challenge, with a hatful of highly-detailed miniatures to get creative with. The Warhammer TV painting team has come up with a collection of paints for each warband to help you get them ready to enter the Gnarlwood. Relive the Dark Imperium trilogy with this stunning collection, housed in a special slipcase. It contains the novels Dark Imperium , Dark Imperium: Plague War , and Dark Imperium: Godblight , and the short stories In the Grim Darkness , The Armour of Fate , and His Will .
