Welcome to Warhammer Underworlds: Spitewood

Welcome to the Path to Glory Spitewood Hub

The roots of the Mortal Realms twist deeper with Warhammer Underworlds: Spitewood, the latest chapter in the ever-evolving saga of the Underworlds. New Rivals decks, fresh mechanics, and the arrival of two entirely new warbands make this season one of the most dynamic yet. Whether you’re a veteran hunter or just stepping into the glade for the first time, there’s plenty to explore.

Our team at Path to Glory has spent the past few weeks diving into the box, testing every blade, bow, and daemonic hammer that’s emerged from the woods. Below, you’ll find links to our full reviews for each new addition, plus the returning warbands we revisited as part of this release.

New Warbands

Blood of the Bull – Helsmiths Warband Review
The forge fires of the Dark Lands burn once more. We take a closer look at the Helsmiths, chaos-touched Duardin who wield infernal Daemonforge dice to turn precision and fury into a deadly art.

Kurnoth’s Heralds – Kurnothi Warband Review
The hunt returns to the Underworlds. The Heralds of Kurnoth bring elegant brutality to the tabletop, blending careful positioning with explosive bursts of aggression once inspired.

 

New Rivals Decks

Deadly Synergy – Rivals Deck Review
Coordination, timing, and teamwork define this Rivals deck. We explore how Deadly Synergy rewards fighters who work in harmony to dismantle their foes with precision strikes.

Hunting Grounds – Rivals Deck Review
A thematic masterpiece for warbands that thrive in their own territory. Hunting Grounds is all about dominance of space, and we break down who stands to benefit most.

Refreshed Warbands

With Spitewood’s release, several classic warbands received updated cards and rule formats. We’ve reviewed a few of them already, and we’ll continue to add more in the coming days as our coverage expands.

Sons of Velmorn – Review
An aristocratic undead lineage returns, their cold blades glinting in the gloom.

The Shadeborn – Review
