A photo of a Warhammer Underworlds game board. It has hex tiles on it, and the artwork looks like the inside of a cave. Closest to the camera are Skittershank's Clawpack, which consists five ratmen in various dynamic poses (one of them is in the middle of leaping over a smoke bomb he's just set off). At the other end of the board are the six goatmen of Grashrak's Despoilers: two are larger and more intimidating looking, one is holding a giant axe in the air and is gripping the head of someone he just decapitated, and the other four are smaller and shabbier, wielding bows and spears.

We played some more Warhammer Underworlds tonight, my sneaky tricksy Skaven versus @yayKM's filthy goatmen. I ended up winning 11-8 but MAN was it tight right up until my very last activation of the whole game. The attacks I made in my second last and last activations were absolutely critical, because had I flubbed them — or had @yayKM successfully defended — she would have won 8-5 instead. Fully SIX glory came from killing her leader (two for killing him because he was a Large fighter, and another four from three different objectives)!

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.

Mid-week Warhammer Underworlds with @[email protected]! 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 a two-player game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's 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 five Skaven (ratmen) assassins, and facing them are four lithe elves painted mostly in deep purples.

Well, I might have done a fantastic job painting the miniatures, but good god was the standard deck that Skittershank's Clawpack comes with rubbish. I couldn't do half the stuff, scored all of 2 glory by most of the way through the second round, and we gave up at that point. Fortunately Kristina said the Shadeborn deck was a lot of fun, so that's good at least. I'll need to pull the Clawpack deck apart and make it better.

A photo of the five miniatures that make up the Skittershank's Clawpack warband. They're all rat-men with dark green cloaks and pointy weapons, and look like they're skulking about ready to assassinate someone. The bases of them make them all look like like they're in a sewer.

Got the Skaven warband from the Warhammer Underworlds: Nethermaze core box finished! Very happy with how they came out, and the miniatures are definitely up there in terms of my favourite sculpts. Next up will be the Shadeborn, which are ALSO fucking awesome-looking miniatures (https://virtualwolf.org/media/posts/2063).

A photo of my painting desk setup, with an arch of LED strip lights illuminating the working area, five Skaven (rat-men) miniatures ready to be painted, and a bunch of little pots of paint spread over two shelves.

Friday night status: A Drambuie, a piece of 85% dark chocolate, and finally starting to paint one of the warbands that came in the Warhammer Underworlds: Nethermaze box.

A photo of the four elven miniatures that make up The Shadeborn warband from Warhammer Underworlds: Nethermaze. They're all in very dynamic poses, all lithe and mid-leap. The painting is a black undercoat with white airbrushed from the top angles of the miniature so it really gives a sense of depth as all of the lower surfaces are darker, as they would be if they were lit up directly from above.

The five Skaven from Warhammer Underworlds: Nethermaze. Skaven are sneaky, tricksy ratmen, and these ones are in very dynamic poses as well and look like they're about to attack. The bases are sculpted to look like they're lurking in a sewer, and the painting has been done in the same way as the Shadeborn: black undercoat with white airbrushed from the top so it looks like they're being lit from above.

Well, I'm not remotely confident enough to do actual painting with my airbrush, but I reckon I've got the hang of this zenithal highlighting thing.

A photo of the box of Warhammer Underworlds: Nethermaze, and the Exiled Dead warband. The box art for Nethermaze has an elf with a full face mask on, with long hair and she's wielding a sword and staff. Underneath that are more elves in combat with sneaky-looking rat-men, the Skaven. The Exiled Dead warband is a bunch of zombies that have a very Frankenstein mad-scientist vibe to them, several have metal pieces coming out of them with electricity crackling around.

Yassss, moar plastic.
