My Second Underworlds Tournament - Agents Con '23

Image
Checkout my  Warhammer Underworlds - Contents Page for more articles. On Sunday the 24th of September 2023, I once again journeyed to Market Harborough to play in the Agents Con 23 Nemesis Clash. This time I would taking Magore's Fiends combined with Tooth and Claw. An important point to make, I have never played with Magore's Fiends before! I built the deck ( Savage Magore's ) with the simple premise of getting into my opponent's territory before killing the enemy fighters. The deck had gone through numerous iterations, but I was happy with it. The question is, would I still be happy by the end of the day?   Opponent 1 My first opponent was Andy Smith who was using Ironsoul’s Condemnors with Voidcursed Thralls.  Game 1 went well. Magore's Fiends charged into his territory and proceeded to hack his fighters. I scored glory well taking down his fighters and ticked through my objective deck scoring almost all the cards I drew. The game ended with all Condemno

How I paint - Kharadron Overlords

It has been a few months since I painted a Warhammer Underworlds warband and it was time to clear some of the backlog; it is also one of my hobby goals for 2022. Additionally, I recently bought a set of metallic paints from army painter, which I want to try. So, with the metallic paints and a choice of warbands, I settled on Thundrik's Profiteers. These Kharadon sky duardin are covered in armour and would be perfect for me to try my new paints on. Paints required: The Army Painter paints are denoted with (AP).

How I paint - Stormcast Eternals - Gryph hounds

Image
One of my favourite units for the Stormcast Eternals are the Gryph-Hounds. They are a great unit for filling out the spare points in an army or adding a bodyguard/pet to a hero. They are also a fantastic unit for Warcry providing a dose of speed in an otherwise slow warband. From a painting point of view, the Gryph-hound also give you some different textures and colours to paint when compared to your Standard Stormcast fighter. I wanted my Gryph-Hounds to be painted with a relatively natural colour scheme, which was based around greys and light browns. For this guide, I am using the Sleak from the Storm of Celestus, the Stormcast Castigator warband from the Warhammer Underworlds Starter set. My other Stormcast painting guides include: Aetherwings Gryph-hounds Stormcast Eternals - Hallowed Knights Paints required: Chaos Black spray Abaddon Black Mechanicum Standard Grey Dawnstone Administratum Grey Celestra Grey Ulthuan Grey XV-88 Balor Brown Zamesi Desert Zandri Dust Ungor Flesh Seraph

How I paint - Flesh Eaters Court - ghouls.

Image
Back in 2001, my main Warhammer Fantasy Battle army was the Vampire Counts. At the time, I was running an army of ghouls, bats and wolves led by Strigoi Vampires (basically the original ghoul kings). If the current plastic ghoul miniatures were any good, I would have remade my old army for Age of Sigmar. Unfortunately,  the plastic ghoul miniatures are not my favourites although I do like the other miniatures in the small range. When the Grymwatch were released for Warhammer Underworlds, I had finally found some ghoul miniatures that I liked. I wanted to them to look like they had a troglodyte existence. By this I mean, I wanted the flesh colour to be washed out, lacking the warmer red tones of 'living beings'.
