Warhammer Underworlds - Da Kunnin' Krew

I have to admit, didn't get these done until Friday afternoon ( a little late for Warhammer Wednesday!). Amanda was very obliging and played on Saturday instead. 

These, along with Xandire's Truthseekers, were one of the two warbands that came with Warhammer Underworlds: Harrowdeep - which was released just over a year ago! 

Da Kunnin Krew. 

Having a brief look through the cards, they actually look not too terrible, on paper. They have a pretty strong them of mutual support and killing things. They all inspire if there are 3 enemy out of action (not always easy... especially against the harder hitting warbands that only HAVE three in them), OR they inspire after an attack action in which they were supported or were supporting another friendly fighter... 

Mannock the Kunnin'

Five wounds is nice. His special ability is a reaction that allows an adjacent fighter to move after some other friendly fighter has made a move action. 

Torka Tuffskul

four wounds Attacks from two away with ensnare and grievous AND counts as supporting if within 2 hexes of the target of an attack action... NASTY!!

Krookgrin

Meh... lies somewhere between Mannock and Torka... 3 wounds.. deals two damage... but, honestly, the minions below seem more useful.. 

Gikkit 

Gikkit, and Shank below, both have only two wounds and deal one damage... BUT both count as TWO fighters when supporting! Which is pretty cool! 

Shank 

Overall looked pretty interesting - just with the starter deck... filtering out some of the weaker cards and adding in some stuff to make them a bit more maneuverable - pushing to get them within support range - could make them downright NASTY! 

Not sure which I'm going to do next... Feeling a little distracted by Astra Militarum rebasing projects. Myari's Purifiers seem like they'd be a good idea, as they are partly painted... and now it's Saturday and I only have half a week to get another warband done... if I want to have it ready for Wednesday! There are others Id be more interested in doing at this point... but they're ones I'd like to actually do a good job on, and so, don't want to rush... like Elathain's Soulraid (which seems like it would fit right in to this setting!) or The Crimson Court or The Shadeborn or Blackpowder's Buccaneers... I don't know....
