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. At the bottom closest to the camera are the Shadeborn, four lithe elves in very dynamic poses with very pale skin and wearing deep purple clothing. At the left are the Gorechosen of Dromm, a three-fighter warband consisting of very large meaty-looking warriors in large red armour, one of whom is clearly part daemon because he's hunched over and has MASSIVE arms and huge horns sprouting from his head. And lastly at the right are the vampires of the Crimson Court, who have pale blue skin, elegant armour, and red cloaks, with blood dripping from their weapons and the corners of their mouths.

A closeup photo of the bloody battle at the beginning of round two. All four of my Shadeborn are within one or two hexes of two of the vampires of the Crimson Court, with a third standing just behind them. And behind _them_ are the Gorechosen of Dromm, two within charge range of any of the Shadeborn or Crimson Court, and Dromm himself standing a little further back in the distance.

We were going to have a bad movie night with @wobin@aus.social and another friend, but said friend had to cancel because he was coming down sick so instead we had @wobin@aus.social over anyway and played Warhammer Underworlds instead! (The original edition, not the new one.) I played the Aelves of the Shadeborn, @yayKM@aus.social played the Khorne's finest, the Gorechosen of Dromm, and @wobin@aus.social had the vampires of the Crimson Court.

Man it was a hell of a game, the start of the second round consisted of an incredibly brutal three-way fight between all of us, and the Crimson Court lost all but one of their warriors before the end of that round. My Shadeborn were doing okay, but I lost two warriors during the second round which denied me a couple of objective scoring opportunities, then Sylark was killed during the third round by a ridiculously long-range charge of 8 by the Crimson Court's remaining warrior Vellas von Faine. The Gorechosen only lost a single warrior right at the end (granted they only start with three), taken out by Valyssa of the Shadeborn, and I was able to score two objectives right at the end, which meant that the final score was 8-8-7, with the draw being between the Shadeborn and the Gorechosen! I'm honestly amazed that the Crimson Court managed to get so close with how badly it started for them.

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 gnarled and corrupted roots like you're deep within a cursed forest. Closest to the camera are Domitan's Stormcoven, three warriors in armour who look like they're also mages because they all have staves and one of them looks like she's levitating. 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, one of whom is clearly part daemon because he's hunched over and has MASSIVE arms and huge horns sprouting from his head.

@yayKM and I played some 1v1 Warhammer Underworlds for the first time in ages! @yayKM went with her now-standard Gorechosen of Dromm, while I played Domitan's Stormcoven who I haven't actually played at all before despite getting the Wyrdhollow box nigh on two years ago now. 😬 The Stormcoven are shamefully unpainted and we had to call it after the second round (and it ended in a 8-8 draw!), but the Stormcoven's gameplay was really interesting with the inspiration being able to be switched around after activations, I'm looking forward to playing them more!

The miniatures themselves are fantastic too (you can see them close-up when I assembled and undercoated them) and normally I find the Stormcast Eternals very uninteresting (they're much like Space Marines in that respect 😛) but Games Workshop done a really good job with these three, in particular Leona Stratosi who looks like she's actually flying.

A photo of Herax Skullgrinder's fighter card with upgrades on him.

We had @wobin over today for games and a barbecue! We mixed it up a bit and went back to Warhammer Underworlds, me with the Shadeborn (that I haven't played before), @yayKM with the Gorechosen of Dromm, and @wobin with Lady Harrow's Mournflight.

Round one was an absolute shocker for me, I lost both Drusilla and Valyssa to @yayKM's Gorehulk, and she was in a commanding position and it looked like it was going to be a blowout. Things turned around in the second round though, and I managed to kill the Gorehulk and Dromm and not lose anyone else and it was 8-8-2 Gorechosen/Shadeborn/Mournflight at the beginning of the third round. The Skullgrinder Herax was upgraded to be an absolute BEAST, I'm not sure we've had quite this many upgrades on a single character in any game before. 😅

The final score ended up being 12-8-5 to the Shadeborn thanks to an objective that gave me three glory at the end of the third round. I definitely want to play the Shadeborn some more to get my head around them, and really need to get around to painting up both Domitan's Stormcoven and Ephilim's Pandaemonium because they're such cool miniatures.

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 a Warhammer Underworlds game board. It has hex tiles on it, and the artwork looks like the bottom of a forest with gnarled roots everywhere. Closest to the camera are the Exiled Dead, a warband of seven miniatures consisting of six zombies and the zombiemaster Deintalos. Four of the have very Frankenstein-esque metal poles coming out of them like they're being animated by electricity, the fifth is more upright and has armour and a halberd, and the sixth is crouched down low to the ground. Deintalos is wearing a flowing purple robe and carrying a staff. 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.

A close-up of the Gorehulk, a very large miniature that looks like he's been partially transformed into a demon with massive muscular arms and shoulders and a huge set of horns sprouting from both his head and behind his shoulders. His right arm pulled back like he's about to punch the absolutely living shit out of something. Surrounding him are four of my zombies.

@yayKM and I played our first 1v1 game of Warhammer Underworlds in quite a while this afternoon, @yayKM with the Gorechosen of Dromm versus my Exiled Dead!

It started out well for the Exiled Dead in the first turn, I killed The Gorehulk and was up 3-0 glory, but it absolutely fell apart after that even despite some very lucky rolling on my part. I scored zero more glory until I killed Herax in the second-last activation of the whole game, and scored one objective worth one single glory at the very end of the game. There were other objectives I might have been able to score, but @yayKM managed to kill the exact person in the exact spot that I needed them to be in in order to score them. >_< The final score was 11-5, oof.

A photo of a three-player game of Warhammer Underworlds. There's three rectangular boards with hex tiles on them in an inverted-T shape, the art on the boards looks like the inside of a cave. At the left are the five Skaven ratmen of Skittershank's Clawpack, at the right are the three heavily armoured human(ish) warriors of the Gorechosen, and at the top are three heavily armoured green orks.

A closeup photo of one of my little Skaven surrounded by the three orks of the Krushas that are absolutely looming over him.

We went over to @oysta@oysta.au's this afternoon to introduce him to Warhammer Underworlds! He played Morgok's Krushas, @yayKM had the Gorechosen of Dromm, and I played Skittershank's Clawpack, which in retrospect was a terrible choice because the Clawpack inspire by killing enemy leaders, and both the enemy leaders had 5 wounds. I was also extremely let down by multiple poor rolls, and @oysta@oysta.au ended up winning at 17-15-5. Definitely keen for another game soon, but I'll definitely NOT be taking the Clawpack again against those two warbands. 😛

One of my little Skaven minions got HORRIBLY ganged up on by all three of the Krushas, he weathered two of their attacks but sadly couldn't make the final one and ended up getting extremely squished.

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 @littleal@mastodon.au'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 game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's a miniatures game played on a board with hex tiles on it, on my side are three very large armoured warriors, and facing them are four lithe and much more lightly armoured elves.

I took Khorne's finest for a spin tonight, and while they ended up winning 14-5 (and are quite fun to play, to boot!), at the start of the last round it really could have gone either way. My leader had one single wound left and I had several things that relied on him being alive. 😬

A photo of the three miniatures that make up the Warhammer Underworlds warband "Gorechosen of Dromm". They're three beefcake dudes, one's a Black guy with a big ceremonial headdress on and is wielding an axe and a staff, one has very Immortan Joe from Max Mad vibes but also with rocking dad-bod, and the other is part demon with absurdly large arms and big horns over his shoulders. The latter has a fist clenched like he's about to punch something and his hands and mouth are covered in blood.

And that's the Gorechosen of Dromm done! Very happy with these, I did actually almost zero drybrushing, it's all manual highlighting (look closely at the edges of the red armour plating for example).

The Gorechosen are coming along nicely! No highlighting done yet, beyond the skin, but I'm very happy with how they're looking already.
