Warhammer Underworlds: Grandfather's Gardeners Warband is an expansion for Warhammer Underworlds: Embergard released in 2024 for 2 players, 30–60 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Card Play Conflict Resolution.
Grandfather's Gardeners see the sweltering innards of Embergard to be ripe for transformation into a seething cauldron of plagues – especially with the emberstone drawing in so many potential hosts... The disease-ridden Phleghmus Potbelly leads this warband and sees his duty as a simple one – to spread the blessings of Nurgle across the realms. Helping Phleghmus cultivate such gruesome cycles are his fellow Plaguebearers Slunge, Maggoty Strewg, Bug-eyed Dripterus, and the daemon-fly Squort, who revels in injecting vileness directly into living bodies. Grandfather's Gardeners are a Mastery-style warband which would synergise well with a Mastery Rivals deck (available separately). This kit includes a full Grandfather's Gardeners warband for use in games of Warhammer Underworlds, along with fighter cards and warscroll cards for the warband. —description from the publisher
