Steel Sky Productions have released the Thorns of the Briar Queen DLC for Warhammer Underworlds: Online.
This is the first DLC pack for the game, and adds the Thorns of the Briar Queen warband. Much like in the tabletop game that inspired it, the Briar Queen and her cohort of Nighthaunt Chainrasps marks the introduction of spell cards to Warhammer Underworlds.
The Thorns of the Briar Queen DLC costs $6.99.
As part of the ongoing Skulls for the Skull Throne 4 event, Warhammer Underworlds: Online also received a piece of free content. Anyone that finishes a match during the event will win some Khorne-themed card backs. The game is also 40% off until June 1st.
You can find a rundown of the new content (via Steam) below:
THE WARBAND
The Thorns of the Briar Queen are a large warband of 7 fighters. Their leader – the Briar Queen – is able to make use of all new spell cards, while controlling a horde of geists and spirits who are eternally bound to her will.
- The Thorns of the Briar Queen inspire when they are adjacent to an enemy fighter at the start of your activation. Get in close to get stronger!
- All units from this warband are able to pass through blocked and occupied hexes!
- Varclav has the ability to push all friendly Chainrasps 2 hexes – perfect for overwhelming your opponent or supreme map control!
TIPS & TRICKS
- While fighter numbers are on your side, the Chainrasps have limited wounds and cannot take much damage before being taken out. Make sure your opponent isn’t scoring too much Glory!
- Cards that move your fighters around the battlefield give you an advantage – use Hidden Paths to get the Briar Queen close to enemy fighters and inspire!
- The various Key upgrades synergise well with this warband. Equip them, then push all Chainrasps onto objective markers to score loads of Glory!
Warhammer Underworlds: Online is available on Windows PC via Steam.
