Media - the crimson court - Page 1

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 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 the initial setup of a game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's a miniatures board game played on boards with hexagonal tiles, closest to the camera are four armoured vampires with pale blue skin and red cloaks, with blood dripping from their weapons and the corners of their mouths, and on the other side are four lithe and lightly-armoured elves.

It's been quite a while but we played some more Warhammer Underworlds tonight! The Crimson Court (vampires) versus Myari's Purifiers (elves), I played the vampires which I realised I hadn't actually played before, and won 10-5 despite a very poor start.

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 taken side-on of a Warhammer Underworlds game board with three armoured orks on the left very aggressively positioned towards the middle of the board, and four elegant vampires on the right.

Went over to our friend's place today for some more Wednesday night gaming, this time with me in an advisory position. He ended up winning 14-10, and both warbands were down to a single fighter at the end!

A photo of a three-player game of Warhammer Underworlds, a hex-based board game with miniatures and cards. There's the Grymwatch (cannibalistic ghouls) closest to camera, with the Crimson Court (elegant vampires) to the right, and the Wyrmspat (disciples of Nurgle who thrive on spreading disease and decay) to the left.

We had Ben over again for Beanie socialising and Warhammer Underworlds this afternoon! The Beanie socialising went extremely well, we gave him one single one of his calming pills this time and we can definitely go entirely without them next time. The game of Warhammer Underworlds was SO GOOD, and INSANELY close! Ben won again with 13, but Kristina and I tied on 12! It seriously could have gone any way.

A photo of the board of Warhammer Underworlds. The board is hex-tiled and the art looks like it's in a sea cave or some underwater cavern. The two warbands are the Crimson Court (elegant vampires) and the Grymwatch (flesh-eating ghouls).

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on a tan-coloured lounge with his head on one of the foam trays that I store my miniatures in and one leg hanging off the side of the lounge.

We played our first game of Warhammer Underworlds with the new Harrowdeep rules, and using the two warbands I most recently painted! It was SUPER fun and ended up being a draw at 11 each. I went over to the lounge to pack things up and unsurprisingly Beanie was entirely amongst it.

A photo of four vampire miniatures, all heavily armoured. One is bald and is holding a huge mace vertically in front of him, the second has long black hair and he's wielding a sword and has one hand up in front of him as if he's doing a Darth Vader-style Force crush. The third is a very buxom lady in an armoured corset wielding two swords, with CRAZY long purple hair. The last is hunched over and looks like he's hissing, he's got a one-handed mace and big bat wings.

I finished the leader of The Crimson Court back in September (https://virtualwolf.org/media/posts/1839) but hadn't been feeling in the painting mood apart from that. I finally got around to finishing the rest of the warband now! (Though as is becoming a theme lately, I need to wait for it to be not hot or humid in order to get the varnish done so I can then put the blood effects on top of that).

A photo of a vampire miniature. His skin is very pale blue like he's dead (which is he, because he's a vampire), he's wearing steel- and brass-coloured armour with a blood red cloak, he has a sword in one hand, and his other hand is held up in front of him in a sort of "We will crush them" pose. His front foot is resting on top of the broken-off head of a stone statue.

There we go, Prince Duvalle is all but done! I'm just waiting on a paint order that contains Games Workshop's "Blood for the Blood God" paint, which is a really rich glossy red paint for creating blood effects. Going to put some on his hand and down the side of his mouth so it looks like he's just fed.

Getting back into painting by FINALLY starting the Crimson Court from Warhammer Underworlds which I got back in April!
