A photo of a three-player game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's played on three rectangular boards sitting together in a T-shape, there are tiles marked out with hexes, and the artwork is all dark blue like you're underwater. Closest to the camera are The Wurmspat, three hulking miniatures with two of them in big green armour with pustules and tentacles, and the third in a long dark purple cloak. At the left are The Crimson Court, they have pale blue skin, elegant armour, and red cloaks, with blood dripping from their weapons and the corners of their mouths. And finally at the right are the Shadeborn, four lithe elves in very dynamic poses with very pale skin and wearing deep purple clothing.

This afternoon we went over to @[email protected]'s for a game of Warhammer Underworlds! (The old edition, not the new one: we play infrequently enough that I can't justify buying a bunch more stuff).

I played the vampires of The Crimson Court, @yayKM had the sneaky aelves of the Shadeborn, and @[email protected] played Nurgle's finest The Wurmspat. The final score was 15-8-8 to The Crimson Court, but @yayKM had quite a comeback and scored five glory right at the end, which would have made for a VERY tight game except I managed to net SIX glory shooting me out in front to 15. 😅 Definitely want to play again sooner than six months from now (the last game we had was in June, oops). And maybe that'll give me some impetus to actually paint the coughtencough warbands I still haven't painted yet. 🙃

We went over to @[email protected]'s for an excellent game of Warhammer Underworlds this afternoon. I decided to simplify things a bit and we just used the Beastgrave/Direchasm era warbands with their stock decks, me with Lady Harrow's Mournflight, @yayKM with Grashrak's Despoilers, and @[email protected] with the Slaanesh warband The Dread Pagent.

It was VERY tight at the end of the second round, with me and @[email protected] tied on 11 glory each, and @yayKM not far behind on 8, but I was able to score several objectives and make a couple of kills thanks to some crazy-good rolling, and the final score was me on 17, @[email protected] on 12, and @yayKM sadly still on 8.

Next time we're going to do an all-Chaos game with @[email protected] staying with the Dread Pagent, @yayKM using Khorne's Gorechosen of Dromm, and I'll probably use the Nurgle warband The Wurmspat (though now I think about it, maybe this might be a good reason for me to finally finish painting the Tzeentch warband Ephilim's Pandaemonium...).

In addition to Warhammer Underworlds, we met the most adorable staffie puppy named Hendrix, who is only 12 weeks old! 😍 He was SO excited to smell us, and he had his entire snout and part of his head fully inside my shoe after we arrived, haha.

A photo of a game of Warhammer Underworlds. There are two rectangular boards with hex tiles on them, the art on the boards looks like the inside of a cave, and there's two pieces of scenery in the two blocked hexes, one is a giant set of yellow crystals and the other is a massive horned skull. Closest to the camera are the four vampires of the Crimson Court, they have pale blue skin and red cloaks, with blood dripping from their weapons and the corners of their mouths. On the other side of the board are the Gorechosen of Dromm, a three-fighter warband consisting of very large meaty-looking warriors in large red armour.

Another game of Warhammer Underworlds, @yayKM took the Gorechosen of Dromm again and after last game I realised that horde warbands really don't work against the Gorechosen so I went for the undead majesty of the vampires of the Crimson Court.

It wasn't looking great for the vampires at the end of Turn 2, but a couple of lucky rolls on my part meant the game ended up with none of my vampires dead, all three of the Gorechosen wiped off the board, and I ended up winning 14-8.

A photo of the start of a game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's set on a hex-based board, the art on the board looks like it's bunch of gnarled tree roots. Closest to the camera are the Gorechosen of Dromm, a three-fighter warband of large warriors, and on the other side are Khagra's Ravagers, a four-fighter warband of smaller but more heavily-armoured warriors.

Mid-week gaming this week was Chaos vs. Chaos in Warhammer Underworlds: the Gorechosen of Dromm against Khagra's Ravagers!

It ended up being a draw at 10-10, but I was extremely happy with that because JESUS CHRIST @[email protected]'s rolling was on FIRE. I think he saved against every single attack I made for the like the first turn and a half with the exception of one initial wallop from the Gorehulk, but the most ridiculous was me rolling two dice on attack and rolling two crits, and to avoid Khagra dying he needed to roll two crits on defence ...which he pulled off.

I guess it makes up for the absolute wholloping I gave him last time. 😅

A photo of a Warhammer Underworlds board and miniature. The board is covered in hex tiles and the art on it looks like tree roots and the inside of a cave. Closest to the camera are five Skaven (rat-men assassins) in various dynamic poses (one is leaping over a smoke bomb he's just set off), and facing them are three heavily armoured human warriors of Chaos, and a less heavily-armoured wizard who is wielding a staff and looks like she's in the middle of casting a spell.

This time it was me playing the tricksy Skaven, Skittershank's Clawpack, and him playing Khagra's Ravagers. I'd played the Clawpack once before and it went disastrously poorly, but it seems to depend entirely on the cards you draw and when. This time was FAR better, there were lots of fun things to do and we ended up calling it at the end of the second round when I was ahead 13-7 and he had only a single fighter left.

A photo of the game board of a Warhammer Underworlds game. The artwork on it looks like a bunch of gnarled roots and it's covered in hexagons that indicate distances. Closest to the camera are Grashrak's Despoilers, six beastmen wielding very crude-looking weapons and wearing not a huge amount of armour. Facing them are Khagra's Ravagers, four very heavily-armed- and -armoured human warriors.

And tonight's Wednesday night gaming was Warhammer Underworlds! Khagra's Ravagers versus Grashrak's Despoilers. The Despoilers were mine, made with the new Nemesis format, and while I won 12-8, I don't think the Tooth and Claw deck is the right one for them, they're a bit too fragile to be wading into combat.

A photo of a two-player game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's a combination miniatures/deck building game played on a board with hexes on it, the artwork on the board looks like it's in a sea cave or something. Closest to the camera are four vampires with red cloaks on, and facing them are four lithe elves painted mostly in deep purples.

First game of Warhammer Underworlds in a little while, the vampires of the Crimson Court vs. sneaky aelves of the Shadeborn. It was a very low-scoring game, I won with the Court 9-7 but on THREE separate occasions @yayKM needed to roll a critical success (essentially rolling a 6 on one single D6) or one of her characters would die, and she managed it all three times.

A photo of a game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's a miniature-and-card-based game played on boards with hex tiles on them. On the board were my warband of six armoured skeletons, four spooky ghost-looking things, four lithe elves, and three lightly armoured humans alongside a big S&M-looking goat-man.

Mid-week gaming this week was a FOUR-player game of Warhammer Underworlds! Unsurprisingly we only got through one round, but one of the players hadn't even played before. I managed to eke out a win on 8 glory, and Kristina came back from nowhere to finish on 7.

A photo of the boxes of two miniature sets for Warhammer Underworlds. Hedkrakka's Madmob is a tribe of green orcs with loinclothes and basic but savage-looking weaponry, and Elathan's Soulraid are a group of extremely pale elves who live underwater.

I might have gotten the bug again and ordered two more warbands. >_>

A photo of a three-player game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's a board game played on boards with hexagonal tiles, at the right are four flowing spirits in a sickly green colour, at the back are seven ghouls with rotten green-looking skin and fresh blood like they've been feeding, and at the right at four lithe and elegant elves. There's also cards laid out in front of each player, and various dice and tokens scattered about.

We had another visit from @[email protected] today. Beanie barked a bit more than he has previously but it'd been a while, and it was more of an "I'm excited" kind of thing and not "Oh god who is this!"

We played our standard game of Warhammer Underworlds, me playing Lady Harrow's Mournflight (the spirits), Kristina playing Myari's Purifiers (the elves) and @[email protected] playing The Grymwatch (the ghouls) for the first time. Despite a shocking start from @[email protected], he staged a hell of a comeback and the final score ended up with me on 11, him on 9, and Kristina on 8.
