Subterran Uprising

The Subterran Uprising is part of the Fiends agenda. They were released as part of the Now! series and received supplemental content from the Big in Japan set.

The underground brutes known as the Subterrans fight to enslave humanity and blot out the sun.

The Subterrans are a brutish race of humanoids that dwell beneath the surface of the Earth in a rigid caste system of slaves and masters. Their highly photosensitive eyes have long kept them out of human affairs, but a rebellion among their ranks has recently changed that situation for the worse... far worse.



Story

 * It happened so suddenly. The building frame and scaffolding leaned precariously and then fell right into a hole in the earth. I realized it was much more than a construction accident when that behemoth of flesh and drills climbed out.
 * —Jason Martin, survivor of the first Subterran attack

Of all the monsters mankind has seen since the dawn of the Monsterpocalypse, none are more nefarious than the loathsome Subterrans. The tyrant caste of these misshapen beast-men inflicts slavery and pain upon those in their domain and now seeks to subjugate humankind as well. The tyrants’ ultimate goal is to blot out the sun so they may live comfortably on Earth’s surface despite their highly hotosensitive eyes. To that end, they send Subterran warriors to the surface along with enormous mole-like beasts that smash cities to bits and send citizens running heedlessly into the arms of Subterran slavers. Their perverse “human resource centers” are vast factory prisons whose sole product is a constant wave of inky darkness streaming into the atmosphere, causing the skies to darken gradually in their vicinity. In the face of such villainous foes, the militaries, corporations, and religions of Earth have no choice but to band together.

Faction Strengths

 * The Subterrans are some of the best brawlers in the game. Subterran Monsters can do multiple damage in a brawl, brawl multiple targets, or a combination of both. Their units, on the other hand, can reach boost die amounts that are comparable to some monsters.
 * On top of this, they are extremely mobile as well; with few exceptions, every figure in the faction has either Burrow or Jump.

Faction Weaknesses

 * The Subterran Uprising focuses very heavily on brawling, so, barring certain exceptions, their blasting power is generally poor.
 * In addition, while their units can throw large amounts of boost dice, they generally have very few brawl Triggers; in other words, they can punch really hard, but those punches don't bring many additional benefits.
