Xandire's Truthseekers - Warband Review

-
Image
Introduction The Truthseekers had braved the stygian depths of Harrowdeep and the twisting shadows of the Nethermaze before finally returning to the celestial realm of Azyr. Yet there was no time for rest. Sigmar once again called upon their light to banish the darkness, this time in the oppressive gloom of the Spitewood. Riding the lightning, Calthia Xandire struck the soil of Ghyran, the Realm of Life, the towering mass of the Spitewood rising ominously before her. At her side stood the indomitable warrior Dhoraz Giant-Fell, lifting his great hammer with effortless strength, while the ever-silent Stormrider raised her arm for Taros, her vigilant aetherwing, to settle upon. With arcs of fading lightning still crackling across their armor, the Truthseekers advanced onto the shadow-shrouded forest floor beneath the twisted boughs of ancient and gnarled trees. Here, in this brooding wilderness, they would bring the light of the Heavens to the Spitewood and the wrath of the God-King to ...

Warband Review - The Wurmspat

-
Image
Introduction The Wurmspat lumbered to the edges of the twisted, knotted forest known as the Spitewood. The dense thicket of tangled boughs loomed ahead, its lush and vibrant vegetation entirely untouched by the taint of rot. Fecula Flyblown halted at the forest’s border, tapping her Rotwood staff against the soft earth as she surveyed the shifting treeline. “Something potent lies in there,” she muttered, a smile cracking across her bile covered lips. “Aqua Ghyranis, and plenty of it.” Ghulgoch and Sepsimus exchanged eager, gurgling chuckles. Wherever life bloomed brightest, Grandfather Nurgle’s gifts brought the most exquisite decay. To the sound of scraping rusted iron and the wet squelch of suppurating flesh, the Wurmspat stepped into the Spitewood intent on finding the sacred waters and befouling them in Nurgle’s name. Fighter Characteristics This three fighter warband has a total of 15 Health, with all fighters starting at Move 3. Their melee attacks all deal 2 Damage, with Septimu...

Warband review: Ephilim's Pandaemonium

-
Image
   Ephilim's Pandaemonium slithers into the fiery depths of the Embergard mines in the Realm of Aqshy, their sights set on the powerful Emberstone, a magic realmstone said to hold the essence of Aqshy's blazing energy. Led by the summoner, Ephilim the Unknowable [1], the daemonic warband moves like a rolling mass of flame through the twisting tunnels, their shapes shifting and shimmering in the intense heat. Flamespooler’s [2] infernal aura crackles in harmony with the glowing magma veins, while Spawnmaw [3] devours chunks of stone and rubble, reshaping its own monstrous form with each bite. Kindlefinger’s [4] subtle touch leaves smoldering embers on the walls, marking their path as Apo'Trax the Starefysh’s [5] unblinking eyes scour the dark passages for signs of the prized Emberstone. With every step deeper into the mine, the very air pulses with the energy of impending transformation, as the daemons prepare to harness Aqshy's volatile magic for Ephilim's unfathoma...

Hobby Goals - October 25

-
Image
  October has been a fantastic month — both for the hobby and for the blog. There’s been plenty of painting, gaming, and writing, and a few lovely milestones along the way. On October 13th, my blog reached 100,000 views , a goal I’ve had since I first started out. I was absolutely chuffed to bits. It’s been great fun sharing my hobby journey, and I just want to say thank you to everyone who’s read, shared, and supported the blog along the way. Then, just a week later, on the 20th, the blog hit 10,000 views for the month , which was a brilliant bonus. Painting This month, I finished painting my Pyregheists,  a really enjoyable project from start to finish. The ghostly green balefire was something new for me, and I loved experimenting to get that ethereal, otherworldly glow just right. I even wrote up a painting guide (see below) on how I achieved the effect, in case you fancy giving it a go yourself. My Pyregheists With the Pyregheists complete, I turned my attention to build...

Elathain's Soulraid - Warband Review

-
Image
Introduction The Idoneth are a cursed people who must steal the soul essence of others to survive. Elathain [1] is especially skilled in this art. He is accompanied by his Akhelian guardian, Fuirann [2], the Namarti Tammael [3], and the bonded beasts Duinclaw [4] and Spinefin [5]. Fighter Characteristics Elathain Uninspired, Elathain has a sound set of fighter stats with Move 4, a Save of 1 Block, 4 Health and a Bounty of 2. He has two weapon profiles: a melee attack with Range 1, 3 Hammers for 2 Damage and a ranged weapon with Range 3, 2 Swords for 1 Damage. Inspired, he gains an extra Save dice, which he sorely needs. In addition, he gains Cleave on his melee weapon and an extra dice and Ensnare on his ranged attack. While Elathain has a good fighter card, it is not enough to do all the heavy lifting for the warband. A 4 Health fighter with a Range 1, 2 Damage attack will not consistently kill opponents. He is also vital to the warband and losing him reduces access to several warscro...
