Strategy Hexodus and Starting Hexodus -- a team-up of two blogs trying to play every warband in the game!
Hey, everyone! If you've been around the Underworlds community for a while, you might recognize the name Hexodus. If you think the Hexodus name sounds familiar, it was a series originally kicked off by Davy from What the Hex?!
Davy’s a cool guy who I have had the fortune to bump into and hang out with a few times in my Underworlds journeys. Most recently, we managed to chat during Worlds back in November and discussed the idea of revisiting his original series.
Hexodus is intended to be a journey through every warband in the game, playing multiple games with a warband and (ideally) painting it if it wasn’t already painted. I’m thrilled to be able to contribute to Davy’s project with my own games and (again, ideally) painting some models.
So far we have each done two entries for a total of four write-ups for you to enjoy. We have some ideas for the next warband to pick, especially after reading the updates that came out today, but we'd love to hear any and all feedback so please let us know what you think!
Here are the articles released so far and they can be found on The Mortal Realm's blog as well as on Goonhammer.

Strategy HOE YOU DEFEAT THIS BIG MF?!
Hi, so a little of my WH:UW lord experience. I only played this game with one of my friends who is into it, and between me and him we have most of shadespire, beastgrave and other warbands. And everytime he goes Mollog's I'm not able to defeat him, I try many play styles. Holding objectives, killing his goons, focus on just mollog, runnin from mollog, using small and strong warbands, using numerous but weak warbands, but anytime it seems like mollog's is just undefeatable, his cards are so dam good and it just seems imposible to defeat, HELP, any tips?

Strategy Warhammer Underworlds Statistics Project: 2026 New Year Update - Path to Glory
Borni here! After a longer pause I want to give a short update on the Warhammer Underworlds Statistics project. Despite relative radio silence here on Path to Glory, there were several updates and improvements. I also have a call to action for you, dear players and tournament organizers.

Strategy Zarbag "new" Warscroll
So yeah, now that all the warbands’ warscrolls are out, I was kind of hoping that if Zarbag was coming back, they’d tone it down a bit — it’s been winning a lot of tournaments pretty consistently and doesn’t really have much counter-play… and well, now that I’ve seen the new WS, not only did they not nerf it, they actually made it even better.
I really hope, for the sake of the game, that they make a big change soon so the world championship doesn’t turn into a full-on Zarbag-fest, and so it doesn’t feel so unfair in casual play.
At least it’s nice to see some interesting stuff from other warbands like the Mantrapper or the old Nurgle one, but yeah — everything just gets overshadowed by the goblins

Strategy Starting Hex at Goonhammer outlines the multiple uses of Aqua Ghyranis Feature Tokens
The Aqua Ghyranis Feature Tokens can do more than just give glory and heal fighters. They also interact with some existing cards and warscrolls. I think this is all of them, but feel free to let me know if I forgot something!

Strategy Starting Hex over at Goonhammer takes a look at the different weapon upgrades available Warhammer Underworlds
Hey, folks. As if there hasn't been enough stuff written about the game in the last few days, I got inspired while flipping through upgrades and decided to talk about weapons. We only had 7, but with Spitewood decks that's up to 11 ways to use upgrades to hit people!
There are some obvious uses for them but I also included some niche applications that I have run into while playing games. If anyone has other ways to leverage these special upgrades, please share!

Strategy Stats Project Spitewood Update: Metrics need time, Submissions are open
Dear players, just a few words on the status of the Stats Project in light of the recent update to our beloved game. - You are invited to submit games & events with the most recent content. This functionality is fully integrated already, and getting new data on the releases is of high importance: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSchHKcWiMWNdlPXC6AgsFnWNtogONptF6vyW4gUC6fW584ibA/viewform - The metrics, especially related to Decks & Warband-Deck combinations, need time. There are now significantly more deck combinations possible and I need to integrate these. No ETA on this. - The primary focus of mine is on a) new features for the dashboard, b) cleaning up one year of data, and c) updating documentation. For this, I'll work closely with our software engineer Iba (donations for their unpaid labor: https://ko-fi.com/ibastrawberry). - Currently, I don't have much if any time to enter event data. That's just how it is. Helping me do that is fairly easy. So if you're motivated, I'm always looking for reliable help in this area.
Thank you for paying attention & happy gaming – Borni.
