Hobby Goals - June 2024

Image
At the start of June, I had two remaining Warhammer Underworlds warbands: the Shadeborn and the Brethren of the Bolt. I set myself a goal for the month: to paint at least one of these warbands. Painting I chose to start with the Brethren of the Bolt, a five-miniature warband. Having played Warhammer for many years, I envisioned my Brethren adorned in the blues of Azyr, inspired by the Celestial wizards of Warhammer Fantasy Battle. I aimed for a variety of blue robes to avoid a uniform look. As usual, I began with the most basic miniature, Acolyte Arcus, to establish the color palette for the entire warband. Once satisfied, I progressed through the other miniatures, culminating in painting the leader, Pater Filius. The Brethren of the Bolt By the end of June 2024, I had successfully ' painted a Warhammer Underworlds warband ' once again (for a total of 43 miniature so far this year). Only one warband remained: the four fighters of the Shadeborn. Additionally, I purchased a pair

Hobby Goals - May 2024

Image
In May, I had one primary goal, which was to finishing painting three Warhammer Underworlds warbands. These were: The Crimson Court, Skittershank's Clawpack and Daggok's Stab-ladz. I had started all the warbands in previous months. I began by turning my attention to the Crimson Court. I had already completed Gorath and Ennias, and I always paint the leaders last, so this left me Vellas Von Faine. I wanted to keep the warbands theme colours of red and black, but also emphasis the individual nature of this vampire. With Vellas complete, I moved onto Prince Duvalle. I continued with the theme of bright steel armour, edged with bronze and complemented with red (crimson) cloth. With Duvalle and Vellas complete, I had completed ' Paint a Warhammer Underworlds warband '. Prince Duvalle and Vellas Von Feine With the Crimson Court, I moved onto the Skittershank's Clawpack. I again had two fighters that needed painting. Skittershank, himself and Kreep. For these miniatures, I

Checkout my  Warhammer Underworlds - Contents Page  for more articles. On May 11th, I participated in my fifth Warhammer Underworlds tournament, hosted by Pete and Robin of the Agents of Sigmar. The venue was once again the Gamers Guild in Redhill. In recent months, I've experimented with a variety of warbands, but for this tournament, I chose  Lady Harrow's Mournfligh t  once more. This time, however, I brought a new deck I had never used before, which I've dubbed 'Savage Scream,' pairing the Mournflight with Tooth and Claw. The deck list can be found over on my  Nemesis Deck Library . Game 1 In the first game, I faced Jon and his Plaguepack. Skabbik was teamed with Voidcurse Thralls. The game started well; I aimed to inspire my banshees and score some objectives (including Inescapable Hunger ) in the first round, managing to kill Itchitt. This provided the glory needed to upgrade a few fighters and inspire some banshees. Jon scored a few objectives and inspired hi

Hobby Goals - April 2024

  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 other seasons of Warhammer Underworld
