  NEW VERSION Countdown to Cataclysm  is a  mastery  deck, which means adding complexity to your game. As the countdown ticks down to cataclysm this deck boosts in power. If you are looking for a deck to add extra layers to your primary playstyle, this is the deck for you. In this breakdown, I’ll run through how the deck plays, the general theme of its objectives, and a few key cards that stand out. Along the way I will add some of my thoughts on its strengths, weaknesses, and how best to pilot it. Objectives - Building towards Cataclysm.

The deck does not have a particular scoring theme but does benefit from occupying Treasure tokens. A few objective highlights: Spread Havoc  – The longer you wait, the more you score and there is no way for your op...

NEW VERSION Blazing Assault  is a straight-to-the-point, no-nonsense Strike Rivals deck built for aggressive play. If you're looking to fight your way to victory with sheer determination and sharp blades, in a manner that will make Khorne turn his gaze upon you, this is the deck for you. In this breakdown, I’ll run through how the deck plays, the general theme of its objectives, and a few key cards that stand out. Along the way I will add some of my thoughts on its strengths, weaknesses, and how best to pilot it. Objectives - Blood for the Blood God! The deck includes 12 objectives: 6 surges and 6 end-phase cards, totalling 16 potential glory. Of these, 11 are worth just 1 glory each, with  Annihilation  offering a chunky 5 glory if you manage to take out the entire enemy warband. This low-glory ceiling may sound underwhelming at first, but it fits the Strike archetype perfectly—rewarding consistent, forward momentum rather than big flashy plays. If you’re hitting ha...

  NEW VERSION The Emberstone Sentinels Rivals deck for Warhammer Underworlds is a deck focused on the Take and Hold playstyle. It rewards positional play, careful movement, and an ability to stick to remain on Treasure tokens. This makes it a slower-paced, but thoughtful deck that rewards players who can outmanoeuvre their opponents and maintain presence on objective hexes. It is not about eliminating your opponent.  Objectives – Hold Your Ground The deck contains the usual 12 objectives: 6 surges and 6 end-phase cards, with a total potential of 16 glory. Nine cards score for 1 glory, two score 2 glory and one scores 3 glory. The deck is about building towards consistency rather than big moments. Stand-out Objectives include: Sally Forth:  Score for making a Charge action onto a treasure token. Nice and easy early-game tick. Unassailable:  Your opponent is going to try and knock you off Treasure tokens. Nothing is better in Underworlds than when you score glory for ...

I’ve really enjoyed painting the Azyrite Ruins and other terrain features for Warcry and Age of Sigmar . I’m starting to build up a solid collection of pieces, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to see the table come to life. In this article, I’m focusing on the bone components of my Warcry terrain—specifically, the skeletons and skulls . Let’s be honest: if you paint GW miniatures, at some point you’re going to paint bone. There are literally skulls everywhere in the Mortal Realms and the Imperium. I sometimes wonder if the dead just get buried without their heads? Anyway, here’s a quick guide for painting bone that’s been weathered by the elements. I use this recipe for both terrain and bases. Paints required: Wraithbone spray Morghast Bone Athonian Camoshade Karak Stone Screaming Skull Pallid Wych Flesh Agrax Earthshade Optional Zandri Dust Start with an undercoat of Wraithbone Spray —assuming the piece can be painted separately. Then apply a base coat of Morghast Bone . If th...
