About the game
The Ogor Maneater Gorlok Blackpowder and his motley crew found themselves washed up in Harrowdeep after being sucked down from the Penumbral Sea by a whirlpool. They soon realised the ancient labyrinth offered a chance to seize a great wealth of treasure. While the Maneater sought out worthy adversaries to add to his boasting-tally, his crew proceeded to loot everything they could get their hands, claws, or beak on. Blackpowder’s Buccaneers are as aggressive as you'd expect of a warband led by an ogor. As Blackpowder delivers devastating blows against his enemies, his followers work together to hamper the foe whilst securing the treasure they desire. This set also features universal cards usable by any warband in Warhammer Underworlds. The first expansion for Warhammer Underworlds: Harrowdeep, featuring five characterful miniatures. Contains 70 cards for your deck, including 20 universal cards. Also contains 12 Grand Alliance cards that can be used by multiple warbands. - 5x fighters: Gorlok Blackpowder, Kagey, Peggz, Shreek, and Mange NOTE: The card back graphics in this set do not match those of all the previous games released in the Warhammer: Underworld series. You will not be able to mix and match cards from other previous sets with this one to deck build a unique team.
