Return from the depths: Merwyrms to appear in Warhammer: The Old World tabletop game

In the near future, denizens of the Old World will have a chance to encounter a sea monster, as Games Workshop staff intend to bring the Merwyrm from Warhammer Forge into the Warhammer: The Old World tabletop game.

Games Workshop has unexpectedly decided to bring back a rather fearsome creature from Warhammer Forge. It has been revealed that alongside the release of the High Elves army, Merwyrms—creatures that love prowling the ocean depths—will be coming to the Warhammer: The Old World tabletop game.

We are talking about an almost serpentine, muscular monster with a sinuous, scale-covered body and four short limbs, each ending in razor-sharp claws.

Merwyrms are resilient and possess the ability to heal wounds at an impressive rate thanks to their rapid metabolism. They are frequently encountered in the coastal waters of the Sea of Claws and are notoriously venomous. 

When available food runs scarce, these monsters typically raid coastal villages in Nordland, devouring humans and whatever else they find. It is currently unknown whether Merwyrms will permanently remain in the Old World or not.
