Blackpowder’s Buccaneers Review – Embergard

Intro Ahoy there and welcome back to Path to Glory for another warband review! Back when we heard the words “pirate ogre” I think you can imagine how quickly the jokes started flying. Sadly, in the first edition the jokes continued even after the warband’s release, as Blackpowder’s Buccaneers were simply one of the worst […]

Ylthari’s Guardian’s Review – Embergard

Intro Welcome to the forest! Spirits flit here and there, some friendly, and some vengeful.

They’ve made their way to Embergard, like many fighters, and now are scouring […]

Hexbane’s Hunters Review – Embergard

Intro Well, you either loved them or you hated them in the first edition, but they’re back! One of my favorite warbands aesthetically and mechanically in the first edition, it was just a shame from a feelsbad perspective that they had a, frankly, overpowered faction Rivals deck. Well, if there’s any silver lining to those […]

Set the Tempo: A Way Too Early Tier List

As the Warhammer Underworlds World Championship for 2024 begins this week, playing in the new Embergard V2 rules, I decided to make a tier list of the current tournament legal warbands. That way, when I am completely and utterly wrong after Worlds, I can have a good laugh at how the warbands actually performed. I […]

The Sepulchral Guard Review – Embergard

Being in both of the recent first edition “Starter Sets” appears to have paid off for The Sepulchral Guard, as they make the transition to the second edition via free download on Warcom. Arguably the best Take and Hold warband at the end of the first edition, it is nice to see that the designers […]

Spiteclaw’s Swarm Review – Embergard

Welcome back to Path to Glory for yet another warband review! Today we’ll be covering one of the 13 free launch downloads for organized play: Spiteclaw’s Swarm. It’s no secret that I (and several of my co-hosts) are huge fans of the OG Skaven warband, so we’re very glad they’ve made the journey to the […]

Ironsoul’s Condemners Review – Embergard
