JonGrantMiniatures

It’s been a few months since my last hobby goals update. Life has been quite hectic, leaving me little time for painting or gaming. However, this month, despite a packed schedule, I managed to carve out some time to make meaningful progress. Painting This month, I began by completing the three Stormcast Eternals of the Emberwatch. I painted them in my standard Hallowed Knights scheme to match my long-time favorites, Xandire's Truthseekers. With this cohesive look, I plan to use the Emberwatch as my primary warband in the coming months. After finishing the Emberwatch, I turned my attention to the Grandfather's Gardeners. As part of my larger Daemons of Nurgle army, I aimed to ensure this warband fit seamlessly with my Plaguebearers. My process started with painting the flesh tones across all the miniatures before adding intricate details. By the end of the month, I had completed Strewg and Squort and made significant progress on the remaining models. Gaming My first game this mo...

Introduction The Jaws of Itzl have descended into the mines of Embergard to prevent the plans of their Slann masters from being disrupted. The aggression of these cold-blood warriors has been peaked by the emotion-riven heat of the Emberstone from deep in the mines. The Jaws of Itzl are made up of  Kro-Jax [1], So-Kar [2], Ro-Tak [3] and the Venomites [4] Fighter Characteristics Each of the three Saurus warriors that make up this warband, Kro-Jax, So-Kar and Ro-Tak, have the same uninspired set of fighter characteristics. A Move of 3, a Save of 1 Block, and 5 Health.  Kro-Jax, the leader, has Bounty of 3 and is armed with a melee weapon (a mace) which is Range 1, 2 Hammers for a mighty 3 Damage. When inspired, his Save improves to 2 Block and his melee weapon improves to 4 Swords, significantly increasing his accuracy. Kro-Jax So-Kar has a Bounty of 2 and is armed with a melee weapon (a club) which is Range 1, 3 Swords for 2 Damage. When inspired... (this is unknown at present...

  The mines of Embergard tremble. Boulders fall hundreds of feet from the exposed cavern ceiling, lava bursts in to once-safe mining shafts, and the very ground collapses, plunging unwary delvers into lethal chasms. The closer one draws to the Emberstone the worse the disturbance becomes. It is only a matter of time before the rest of Embergard collapses into ruin.  Playstyle: Mastery Plot card The Countdown to Cataclysm deck includes a countdown mechanic. This is represented by a token that moves along a tracker of 14 spaces. The position of the token determines the current Cataclysm value, which will influence various cards in the deck (more on this later). The more spaces moved the higher the Cataclysm value, to a maximum of 4.  The token moves along the tracker after the first friendly fighter is slain in a combat round. It also moves one space, after the last Power step, for each feature token that is not occupied by an enemy fighter. You should note that you can adv...
