A photo of a three-player game of Warhammer Underworlds, a hex-based board game with miniatures and cards. Lady Harrow's Mournflight (four flowing spirits) are at the left, The Crimson Court (four elegant vampires in silver and bronze armour with red cloaks) are at the right, and across the other side of the board are Hrothgorn's Mantrappers (a huge ogre with a crossbow/bear trap launcher, a sabretooth tiger, and four goblins).

We had Ben over again today for a Beanie visit and some Warhammer Underworlds. The Beanie visit went very well, we didn't even give Beanie any of his medicine and he'd pretty well calmed down inside of ten minutes! Warhammer Underworlds ended up being extremely close, Ben and I tied for the win on 10 glory, and Kristina got 9!

And then we went to a pub near us for dinner and I had a burger and it was excellent. 👌🏻

A photo of the board of Warhammer Underworlds. The art on it is primarily blues and feels like a sea cavern. It's covered in hexagons and there's two sets of miniatures facing each other in various positions: Lady Harrow's Mournflight, a set of four spooky spirits all flowing and painted in a sickly pale green, and Hrothgorn's Mantrappers, a huge ogre with a massive crossbow alongside a sabretooth tiger and three little goblin-looking creatures. There's cards and dice around the board.

Went over to a friend's house tonight for a cheeky mid-week game of Warhammer Underworlds. Despite never having played and being down to one fighter at the end, he won 14 to 11! (Partially my fault, I got a bit greedy.)

We had another visit from Ben today, played more Warhammer Underworlds, a 3-player game this time. Ben absolutely smashed it this time, and won 13-8-1 (yes, I scored exactly one single glory, EVERYTHING went poorly and I got all the cards at the exact wrong time).

Beanie was a bit barky as expected, but we'd also just had a mattress delivered so he was already a bit anxious.

A photo of a Warhammer Underworlds board, with tiled hexes on it. Hrothgorn's Mantrappers are at the front, consisting of a large ogre with a huge crossbow and wearing lots of animal skins, a sabretooth tiger, and three gnoblars (goblins). Facing them are Morgok's Krushas, three heavily armed and armoured orruks (orks).

A close-up of Morgok being surrounded by Hrothgorn, Thrafnir (the sabretooth tiger) and Luggit & Thwak (two gnoblars, one on the shoulders of the other and swinging a huge club/axe-looking thing over his head).

We had a Hrothgorn vs. Morgok rematch tonight, and wow did it go differently! My strategy actually worked a treat, and I killed Morgok himself in the first round (he ended up getting very ganged-up on). I only lost Luggit & Thwak, and was able to kill Thugg as well with some clever pushing into lethal hexes and Bushwakka's trap.

A photo of a Warhammer Underworlds game board, it has tiled hexes on it and the art on the board looks like a cave. The miniatures are 3 heavily-armoured orruks (orks) on Kristina's side, and on mine are 3 gnoblars (goblins), a sabretooth tiger, and Hrothgorn who is a huge ogre with a massive crossbow.

A close of Thugg vs. Bushwakka and Luggit & Thwak. The latter is two gnoblars, one on the shoulders of the other, with the top one swinging a big axe over his head. Bushwakka is another gnoblar, he's carrying a bear-trap. Thugg is a big heavily-armoured orruk who's in mid-swing with his weapons. The two gnoblars are VERY small-looking next to Thugg.

We played Warhammer Underworlds again tonight, Kristina played the orruks of Morgok's Krushas and smashed me. (In my defence, my strategy was good but I was let down by some very poor dice rolls on my part, and a couple of very lucky ones on Kristina's).

My favourite moment was my two (three) brave little gnoblars taking on Thugg. Sadly I rolled badly and nothing came of it. 😞

A photo of a four-player game of Warhammer Underworlds. The board has hexes marked out on it, at the bottom right are Hrothgorn's Mantrappers (a big ogre and 4 goblins), bottom left at Morgok's Krushas (3 heavily-armoured orks), top-left are Grashrak's Despoilers (6 goat people), and top-right is Lady Harrow's Mournflight (4 ghosts).

Had another four-player game of Warhammer Underworlds today! I played Hrothgorn's Mantrappers for the first time and won with them. Though next time we're going to do two 1v1 games, because a four-player game with three people who aren't experts takes a while, haha.

A photo of the Hrothgorn's Mantrappers warband from Warhammer Underworlds, consisting of four gnoblars (goblins), one's lugging traps, another is holding a very large crossbow bolt, and the third's on top of the fourth's shoulders, with the third holding a huge club mid-swing. Hrothgorn is a big ogre with a massive crossbow, and Thrafnir is a sabretooth tiger-looking creature.

Tonight I finished painting Hrothgorn's Mantrappers! I love how expressive they all are, and their names are fantastic as well: from left to right (not including the trap at the very far left), we have Bushwakka, Quiv, Hrothgorn, Luggit & Thwak, and Thrafnir.

A photo of a bunch of boxes of Games Workshop miniatures: for Warhammer Underworlds, two warbands (Hrothgorn's Mantrappers and the Crimson Court) and the "Primal Lair" terrain pieces from Beastgrave, and for Warhammer 40,000, Adeptus Mechanicus (two boxes of Skitarii and one box of Sicarians).

Birthday haul! This should keep me going for a while. And I'm getting another three Warhammer Underworlds warbands from my parents when we see them weekend after next. 😅
