Read the full game description
Warhammer Underworlds: Two-Player Starter Set is a streamlined entry point to Games Workshop’s tactical arena game. The box pairs the Storm of Celestus with Drepur’s Wraithcreepers, each supplied as four easy-build miniatures with fighter cards and a dedicated thirty-two-card deck. Players alternate activations to move, attack, guard, and hold objectives across two double-sided boards while dice resolve combat and objective cards convert positional plans into glory. The rules focus on the Shadespire core, leaving out later spell, quarry, hunger, and primacy systems.
