The Tau are an empire, united as one by The Greater Good (or brainwashing if you want to go down the newer lore). Part of this empire involves the coalition of peoples united against challenges such as terraforming and of course, war. So far in the miniatures range from Games Workshop we have really only seen two of these allies peoples - the insect-like Vespid and the avian cannibal bipeds, the Kroot. Since their introduction in 2001, the Kroot have received little attention from GW, but that's now all changed, with a whole new range that can not only ally with the Tau, but stand on their own! Launching part of this new range in the new Kroot Hunting Pack army box, we get a good look at what's new through a collection of highly detailed and dynamic miniatures. The Kroot Hunting Pack army box includes all new miniatures including a Kroot War Shaper, a Kroot Flesh Shaper, 20x Kroot Carnivores, a Krootox Rider to provide some supporting fire, 3x Krootox Rampagers to get in close and be all brutish, the new Codex: T'au Empire and the new Datasheet Cards: T'au Empire. It's a force all in one box, and quite the painting challenge, as there has also been an update to the iconography of the Kroot which greatly expands the character of the miniatures. It's great to see the Tau Empire getting some attention, and hopefully this isn't the only allied faction we get for them. Different Vespid units would be amazing!
Warhammer Underworlds was once quite the little Age of $igmar side-project, but as they delved more into the pets of each new unit, the miniatures became lacklustre and the variety of miniatures became a bit... slate! With Warhammer Underworlds: Deathgorge, the newer expansion of Underworlds, they have gone back to basics a bit more - but is it too late? The latest warband is Zondara’s Gravebreakers, a collection of ghouls and a wolf/dog/cat/monkey thing, led by a wizard. It's a bit tired really, and the three minions look like they have been designed by AI. It's a boring set, given no real interest by GW. Warhammer Underworlds is built for competitive play, so there's also a new Rivals deck, Rimelocked Relics, to add to your ever growing collection of cards. Also in the Warhammer Underworld's setting is a revitalised set, Rivals of the Mirrored City, which not only brings back Zarbag’s Gitz, Thorns of the Briar Queen, Mollog’s Mob, and Spiteclaw’s Swarm, but adds brand new cards to the set to jazz them up!
Necromunda gets some love this week with the new Delaque Gang Tactics Cards and Delaque Vehicle Tactics Cards, plus some Delaque resin goodness with the Delaque Rogue Doc & Gang Lookout and Delaque Ash Wastes Upgrades on pre-order. It's a real pity GW don't assemble the Upgrade sets so we can see what they look like. It would be a better selling point than just a shot of heads and backpacks! Also this week, there's an update to the Zone Mortalis Gang Tactics Cards for those who like close close combat!
