  Painting April rolled around and the 'clocks' were moved forwards. This provided an additional daylight hour in the evening, I could now paint for longer in the day (I am not a fan of lamp light). I started the the month by painting up Elathain, Ill Fated, which allowed me to complete the Soulraid. Immediately, I could tick off ' Paint a Warhammer Underworlds warband '. I wanted to paint Elathain as I was intending to try using this warband in some games. How I paint - Idoneth Next, I wanted to continue working on Zondara's Gravebreakers. I picked up Ferlain and painted this werewolf in a range of dark grey colours. With Ferlain finished, I took a look at Zondara and felt that she was more detailed than I wanted to tackle at that moment. Next I returned to Daggok's Stab-Ladz. I painted up Hurrk, Da Howla before moving onto Jagz, Da Bleeda. I painted these Orruks to match Da' Kunnin Krew. Before I could move onto Daggok a parcel arrived in the post!   Winte...

Wintermaw is the tenth Season of Warhammer Underworlds. our warbands have descended deeper into the Deathgorge: a chasm within Ghur frozen by the Everwinter.  Brethern of the Bolt Grand Alliance: Order (Cities of Sigmar) Number of fighters: 5 Access to magic: No wizard Playstyle: When painting my Brethern of the Bolt, I had an idea that they would be painted in the blues of the Azyr (to match the Celestrial wizard of the Empire from WFB).  Skinnerkin Grand Alliance: Death (Flesh Eaters Court) Number of fighters: 5 Access to magic: No wizard Playstyle: Aggro When painting this Flesh Eater Court warband, I wanted to make them match my Grymwatch (from Beastgrave). I always, like the idea of my ghouls having a troglodyte look to them (rather Lovecraftian). I used my How I Paint- Flesh Eaters Court guide.  If you have any thoughts please drop them below.  Check out my warbands from oth...

One level 2 and one level 1. Top Cards Objectives: Cacophony  (for attempting to cast four or more spells in the same phase - fairly easy with spell gambits and Vashtiss' spell attack) Cruel Chorus  (for casting two or more spells in the same phase - as with Cacophony this should be fairly easy to achieve) Triumph of Paramountcy (the leader is the only remaining fighter in a warband, yours or theirs - Vexmor is resilient fighter and the Thricefold can aim to not range the enemy leader) Gambits: Word of Pra...

This season brings forth a delightful array of wizards to accompany our battles. As for myself, I've reignited my passion for painting warbands and have made it a priority to focus on the latest releases rather than my existing backlog.

Instead of the mountainous Beastgrave, the setting was a carnivorous forest, tying the Underworlds with Warcry. The Sons of Velmourn Grand Alliance: Death (Soulblight Gravelord) Number of fighters: 5 Access to magic: No wizard Playstyle: Aggro (Rivals), Flex (Nemesis) One of the warbands introduced in Gnarlwood is the Sons of Velmourn, a formidable group of Grave Guard fighters. For three decades, I have been an ardent player of the Undead forces, and when I set out to paint this warband, I envisioned them adorned in the distinguished dark blue colors reminiscent of the notorious Night Lords from Warhammer 40,000. This inspiration sprouted from the iconic shield of Sir Jedran Falseborn, seemingly bearing the symbol of the Night Lords. I want to like this warband but they suffer from two main ...

The sixth season if Warhammer Underworlds saw our warbands descend further below the Shadowsea of Ulgu into the Nethermaze.  The Nethermaze rests below Harrowdeep, acting as a twisted inversion where reality bends to the whims of its shadowy masters. These mysterious entities were born from the Orb Duplicita – also known as the Liar’s Moon – a crucible of dark energies on the Outer Rim of Ulgu.  The Shadeborn Grand Alliance: Order (Daughters of Khaine) Number of fighters: 4 Access to magic: One level 1 wizard Playstyle: Aggro The Shadeborn are a group of four aelves. As such they are quite fragile but are reasonably accurate. They have lost some power since their initial release following the change to the Gloom (cover) hex rule. The warband now needs to pair with a deck that can provide them with additional cover hexes to help them score objectives and utilise their abilities.  The warband a...
