Two fully-painted goblin miniatures, they're both very characterful, short, and are wearing black robes. One has a helmet on that leaves his face bare but has a big pointy chin bit in the armour, and is holding a yellow shield in one hand and a sword aloft in the other. The other has a full face mask and you can't actually see his face at all, and he's holding a yellow shield aloft and is carrying what looks like a wooden lance but with a sword blade attached to the end of it.

I'm taking a break from Warhammer Quest and Kill Team to get stuck back into some Warhammer Underworlds! I decided to start the goblins of Grinkrak's Looncourt and have done two of the little fellas so far. I'm just doing the box art scheme because it's simple and I like the look of it, keen to get the other five done and get them onto the table.

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 Ironsoul's Condemnors, three heavily-armoured warriors in deep blue and gold armour wielding maces and shields. Facing them are the Shadeborn, four lithe elves in very dynamic poses with very pale skin and wearing deep purple clothing.

First game of Warhammer Underworlds with the new Gnarlwood rules, Ironsoul's Condemnors vs. the Shadeborn! I used Battle Mallet's suggested Nemesis deck (https://www.battle-mallet.com/nemesis-decks/) for the Condemnors because it turned out the one I had put together a while back sucked, and it was very fun, but ended up very one-sided, oops. It was partially due to some lucky rolling on my part, but we called it half-way through the second turn out of three total because I'd wiped out @yayKM's warband entirely and the score was already 9-5. Fighter of the match goes to Brodus Blightblade who single-handedly killed two of the four enemy warriors outright (the first one in the first activation of turn one) and did two out of three damage to a third one that allowed me to ping that third one for an extra one damage to kill him. I really like the new rule changes for activations specifically, and the Nemesis format is great.

A photo of the seven armoured goblins from the Warhammer Underworlds warband Grinkrak's Looncourt. They're all very characterful, the highlights are one wielding a squig that's been attached to a stick, another hiding behind a wooden door while a second one is on his shoulders and pulling back another squig that's about to be launched catapult-style, and a third riding a very large and angry-looking squig and has a large mallet head attached to the pole he's holding. The others just have mostly regular weapons and Grinkrak himself has what looks like a jester's hat on.

(A squid is a small angry creature that consists of mostly teeth.)

A photo of the four shamanistic-looking warriors of the Warhammer Underworlds warband the Gnarlspirit Pack. They're all dressed in leathers and furs and the leader has a large animal skull on his head. His left arm is too slightly larger than normal and looks like something out of the movie Aliens, and is wielding/has growing out of the hand a blade that looks like it may be bone.

And that's the Looncourt assembled and undercoated! I did the Gnarlspirit Pack from the Gnarlwood core box as well, and the keen-eyed (and/or Warhammer 40,000 nerds) amongst you will notice that the leader's arm doesn't quite look right. That's because it's the arm of a Tyranid Genestealer that I put on because the thumb on his regular arm had broken off in the box, so I just chopped the whole arm off and replaced it with this one. Annoyingly I had a similar issue with the head of the leader of the other warbands from that same box, the Sons of Velmorn, the box must have been REALLY banged up in transit. 😕 I'm undecided whether I'm going to actually spend the time to paint up the leader with the replacement arm, haha. (I contacted the place I bought them from and it's no hassle to get new sprues sent out, just annoying.)

The box of the Warhammer Underworlds warband "Grinkrak's Looncourt". The art on the box has black-clad goblins wielding various weapons. There's also the box for a deck called "Fearsome Fortress," the art on that has stairs up the side of a ziggurat and the field of view towards it is being encroached on by brown vines.

Miniatures for the miniatures god! Plus one of the new Rivals decks, which are a great idea to simplify things because it means you don't have to screw about with deck building.

A photo of the box of Games Workshop's new Warhammer Underworlds box, "Gnarlwood", and four Boss guitar pedals. The Underworlds box has artwork of a guy in furs and looking very shamanic, and the guitar pedals are the DS-1W distortion, DD-3T digital delay, GE-7 equaliser, and Reverb RV-6.

Christmas loot! Hope everyone's had a good one.
