AdeptiCon Preview 2026 – A new Lumineth Realm-lords warband breezes into Warhammer Underworlds

Thyrielle’s Zephyrites – a new Lumineth Realmlords warband – are on their way to Warhammer Underworlds, and they’re manipulating the winds to their advantage.

This new warband brings the masters of anemology* from the Hurakan temples of Hysh to the heart of Embergard. Thyrielle’s Zephyrites are a Mastery warband consisting of four Lumineth Realm-lords and their vulpine spirit companion, Tzul. The twist is that Tzul isn’t a fighter – it’s a token, whose placement on the board will determine the reach of the warband’s abilities.

Alongside Tzul is the eponymous Thyrielle, a master manipulator of the winds, accompanied by the blind archer Orieth, who uses the stormy slipstreams to ensure his arrows find their mark, and acolytes Sirikith and Anara, who are adventuring to further attune themselves to the elements of the Mortal Realms.

The Zephyrites’ warscroll abilities are all based around Tzul. The spirit is placed in an empty hex at the start of each Action Step, and any lines of sight he can draw to the edges of the battlefield that don’t pass through a blocked hex become windblown, with fighters in them experiencing effects based on whether they’re friendly or hostile.

Friendly windblown fighters can perform gravity-defying leaps using the currents, and after they’ve moved or charged, their saves improve too. Windblown enemies, on the other hand, always count as Flanked, giving Thyrielle and friends an advantage in combat. The Zephyrites Inspire when they make a successful attack, so this is super useful.

With Tzul’s position being critical to the warband’s success, there’s a once-per-game ability to reposition him as well.

ONE WITH THE WIND

Tzul can become a gust of wind to evade foes.

Use this in your Power step. If your leader and a friendly Twul model are on the battlefield, you can remove that Tzul model from the battlefield and place it in a different empty hex that does not contain a feature token. You can only use this ability once per game.

We’ll bring you a more in-depth look at Thyrielle’s Zephyrites closer to their release. For now, head back to the AdeptiCon Preview hub to see what else has been revealed for all your favourite games.
