Registration

Registering in advance is a huge help to us for planning. To register, follow these two steps:

Email whatthehexcast@gmail.com with your name.
Send $10 via PayPal to “mortalrealms@gmail.com” or pay on the day of the event.

You will receive a confirmation email from a member of The Mortal Realms crew. Please note we manually check these so there will be a delay between submission and confirmation.

Prize Support

Alongside tournament champion, we’ll also have prizes for Best Painted, Best Sportsmanship, Best in Grand Alliance, and maybe a little something just for showing up.

Best in Grand Alliance
Our signature prize support category. The players that place the highest among those that brought a warband from the same Grand Alliance will be awarded Best in Grand Alliance for Chaos, Death, Destruction, and Order respectively - and will receive a corresponding set of custom activation tokens.

The Tokens
Designed and created by father and son duo. Made from black acrylic and hand painted.

Best Painted
Official Beat To The Punch alternate art card from the Wyrdhollow organized play kit.

Best Sportmanship
Official Break The Ice alternate art card from the Wyrdhollow organized play kit.

What is Nemesis?

Nemesis is one of three primary play formats available to Warhammer Underworlds players. These formats allow players to interact with the game in unique ways. Each format brings its own strengths and together they serve as pillars for organized play.

Official Nemesis Format Document

Play Formats: The Pillars of Underworlds
Rivals | No deckbuilding. Shuffle & play!
Nemesis | Deckbuilding from two sources- your warband’s Rivals deck (the cards unique to them) and one universal Rivals deck.
Championship | Deckbuilding from a product pool comprised of the latest four seasons of Underworlds. This format includes a Forsaken and Restricted list.

New Release Cutoff Date

The player at the end of three rounds with the highest win record will be our Tournament Champion. In the case of ties, the following tiebreakers will be used in order to determine final event placements: Win Record, Game Losses, Glory Point Differential, Strength of Schedule, and then Rock, Paper, Scissors.
