The Warhammer Underworlds: Online base game will be free for a whole week. If you're new to the game, now is the opportunity to jump in, create some decks and score some Glory!
The base game comes with two warbands, Steelheart's Champions and Magore's Fiends, two versatile warbands that can hold their own against most opponents. We encourage you to play through the tutorial, read through our Steam Guides, then jump online to rise through the ranks on the hunt for Exalted status.
The Bloodbound are mortal warriors who have sworn themselves to Khorne, god of carnage and slaughter. Blinded by battle madness, lost to the exultant sensations of combat, they care for nothing but the kill.
The warband led by the brutal killer known as Garrek Gorebeard, are frenzied cannibals, mortals whose dark excesses have drawn them ever further into the thrall of the Blood God. They eschew heavy armour, preferring to feel the blood spatter across their chests, and chase their prey as tirelessly as hunting wolves.
EXCLUSIVE SKULLS CARD BACK & 'MARKED BY KHORNE' SKIN
As part of the Skulls 2021 Festival, we've created an exclusive card back that can only be claimed during the promotional week. If you've got your hands on our new warband, Garrek's Reavers, then make sure to claim your exclusive 'Marked by Khorne' skin pack too!
To claim both of these cosmetic items in-game, enter the code skulls2021promo in the Redeem Code box at the main menu of the game.
Please note: To access the skin you must own the Garrek's Reavers warband DLC. If you do not own it, it will be stored in your inventory and will appear should you purchase the DLC in the future.

Garrek Gorebeard and his reavers are coming...
The Bloodbound are mortal warriors who have sworn themselves to Khorne, god of carnage and slaughter. Blinded by battle madness, lost to the exultant sensations of combat, they care for nothing but the kill.
New Card Backs, Skins, Portraits and Titles have arrived in two new DLC packs!
THE CREEPING STORM
This DLC contains exciting new cosmetic items for Drepur's Wraithcreepers and Storm of Celestus in Warhammer Underworlds: Online, including warband skins, player titles, card backs and deck portraits.
A collection of exclusive card backs for all your favourite warbands in Phase One including Steelheart's Champions, Spiteclaw's Swarm and Eyes of the Nine!
Bug Fixes + Added specific “Lethal Hex Damage” text popups to show when fighters are taking damage from lethal hexes. NOTE: a lot of objectives cannot be scored if a Lethal Hex delivers the final point of damage needed to take a fighter out. + Fixed issue where My Turn could cause the game to hang if used with a Storm of Celestus fighter who has already used their Greatbow that round. + Chosen Axes Bot no longers uses Defiant Strike when making a normal attack activation + Fixed bug where Deck Page 1 would not save text entered by the player + Ironskull’s Boyz fighters will now inspire before the trigger reaction for My Turn + Card Back Titles are now visible in the Cosmetics Editor + Fixed issue where running a fighter across two lethal hexes to take them out would award the opponent two Glory instead of one. + Fixed issue where the ploy Lightning Flare would prevent the objective Point Blank from scoring. + Piercing Stare now correctly prevents Spell Attack actions + Fixed issue where Shattershard would fail to find upgrades to remove if it was played against an uninspired fighter from Spiteclaw’s Swarm. + Fixed issue where Sorcerous Riposte would try to trigger when the only Wizard in the warband had already been taken out by the damage from Lethal Hex after a drawn/failed push back attack (causing the game to hang). + Fixed issue where the following objectives would incorrectly score if the enemy leader was taken out by a Lethal Hex instead of the warband; Slayers of Tyrants, Get Da Boss, Behead the Beast, Assassinate, Execution, Blessed Banishment, and Grim Promise. + Fixed issue where Bulwark against the Dark would score when all friendly fighters were taken out. + Fixed issue where Awe-inspiring wasn’t counting the number of enemy fighters taken out while in the deck. + Methodical Attacks should now let the fighter make a second attack against ANY valid target. Not just the target of their last attack. + Vengeance of Nagash makes sure the cause of the enemy leader being taken out was an attack (and not a ploy or lethal hex). + Fixed issue where Fevered Beat could incorrectly still be played when the Patrician was taken out. + Potential Fix; Issue where Surge objectives would sometimes fail to score and instead the player would draw a fourth objective card.
Known Issues + Master of War and Victory after Victory continue to sometimes not score correctly. Please continue to report any instances of this using the in game bug reporting tool to help us track this issue down.
Note: You should see 1.6.5 in-game once you have the update.
As always be sure to "verify your files" through Steam if you get any weird crashes, hangs or invisible fighters.
Two new cosmetic DLC packs are coming to Warhammer Underworlds: Online
This month has already seen the release of Relics of the Founders and now we have two more cosmetic DLC packs coming to Warhammer Underworlds: Online very soon!
If you're a fan of our Phase One warbands then you'll love our beautifully crafted warband-specific card backs. Each faction's logo is embossed on the back of your power and objective cards to show off your allegiance.
Our two latest warbands, Drepur's Wraithcreepers and Storm of Celestus, have been a big hit in the game. We've put together a special cosmetics pack just for them, which contains exclusive skins, portraits, titles and card backs!
"We need a new warband", we hear you cry. Keep an eye on our Steam page, socials or Discord server, as we'll have some exciting news next week!
Relics of the Founders skin pack is out now!
The haunted streets of Shadespire have attracted many disparate souls, none more so than those trapped from the very beginning. Noble souls and savage brutes are stuck in an endless cycle of violence, clashing together as each attempts to escape damnation.
Bug Fixes + Fixed issue with Victory after Victory sometimes not scoring if drawn from the deck mid round + Fixed issue with Master of War sometimes not scoring if drawn from the deck mid round. + Fixed issue with Arcane Torrent counting defensive Crits during spell attacks + Potential Fix for issue where using Reflected Injury against Gurzag would prevent Gurzag’s Unkillable upgrade triggering. + Fixed issue where taking out an Ironskull’s Boyz fighter with Shardgale would prevent Last Lunge triggering. + Fixed issue where Unparalleled Strike would not treat Smash as Crits on any bonus attack dice that attack received. + Fixed issue with Piercing Stare not functioning as intended + Fixed issue so that Wracking Change now correctly uses line of sight to determine valid targets + Fixed issue so that Abasoth's Unmaking now correctly uses line of sight to determine valid targets + Fixed issue that allowed Contained to score if all enemies were dead + Fixed issue where using Momentary Madness on a Storm of Celestus fighter that had already used their Greatbow that round could cause the game to hang if there were no other fighters adjacent to them.
Known Issues + If you experience any strange issues (game crashes, invisible fighters, strange lock-ups) please be sure to verify your Steam files and make sure you get a "All files successfully verified" message after completing it. + The ploy Lightning Flare prevents the objective Point Blank from scoring + Piercing Stare currently does not stop spell attack actions when it should
Note: You should see 1.6.4 in-game once you have the update.
Relics of the Founders skin pack is coming soon!
Many of you asked and we listened! Soon we'll be releasing the six Early Access skins from the beginning of last year as DLC cosmetics. If you missed out on these classic paint jobs then check the Relics of the Founders!
NOTE! Due to some changes in how we handle in game assets, this patch will be BIG! Expect a 7-8GB download and be sure to verify the integrity* of your files.
Bug Fixes + Potential fix for randomly disappearing card art + Fixed render quality settings to fully utilise “high” quality render features + Added a “super low” render quality setting + Deadly Vengeance will only respond to attacks now (not ploys or lethal hexes), and no longer forces you to target only the attacker. + Enervating Beat’s effect will no longer stay around all match + Ready for Action will no longer cause matches to hang if the fighter’s only attack action with a target in range is a Storm of Celestus Greatbow that has already been used that round. + Strength of Sigmar should now stack properly with Great Strength + Following Objectives now properly work with Blue Horror deaths and track which fighters are out of action correctly; Great Purification, Pure Carnage, Dread Harvest (Righteous Banishment), Scythed Down, Death’s Bounty.
Known Issues + The ploy Lightning Flare prevents the objective Point Blank from scoring + Reports of Master of War and Victory after Victory not scoring sometimes (specifically in relation to some Surge objectives). If you encounter this in game, submit an in game bug report during that end phase and mention what Ploys, Upgrades and Objectives you played if possible.
Note: You should see 1.6.3 in-game once you have the update.
* This can be achieved by right-clicking the game in your library list, selecting Properties, then selecting the Local Files tab, followed by the Verify integrity of game files... button.
