A photo of a three-player game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's a board game played on boards with hexagonal tiles, at the right are four flowing spirits in a sickly green colour, at the back are seven ghouls with rotten green-looking skin and fresh blood like they've been feeding, and at the right at four lithe and elegant elves. There's also cards laid out in front of each player, and various dice and tokens scattered about.

We had another visit from @[email protected] today. Beanie barked a bit more than he has previously but it'd been a while, and it was more of an "I'm excited" kind of thing and not "Oh god who is this!" We played our standard game of Warhammer Underworlds, me playing Lady Harrow's Mournflight (the spirits), Kristina playing Myari's Purifiers (the elves) and @[email protected] playing The Grymwatch (the ghouls) for the first time. Despite a shocking start from @[email protected], he staged a hell of a comeback and the final score ended up with me on 11, him on 9, and Kristina on 8.

A photo of a Warhammer Underworlds game board setup. There's three individual boards, two are have the artwork underneath looking like deep within a cave and the third looking under it's an underwater cave with lots of blues. At the front closest to the camera are four lithe and elegant aelves, the far side has three diseased Nurgle warriors, and the left has seven gore-covered ghouls.

Another visit from @[email protected], another game of Warhammer Underworlds! Beanie was really good, we didn't even need to break out the treats to get him to stop barking. The Underworlds game was very one-sided, Kristina won 12-7-7 and I only scored my last three glory at the VERY end of the whole game.

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 seven miniatures, all are painted in a purple/green zombie flesh-type colour. One of them is standing on the back of someone in armour who's lying face down, and has torn his arm off and is busily gnawing on it, another's holding a severed head. There's also two bats in mid-flight who are dragging a headless torso along the ground. All seven ghouls' mouths, hands, and feet are all covered in what looks like fresh blood like they've just fed.

Oh man, this blood effect paint (called appropriately enough "Blood for the Blood God") is amazing/horrific.

For the first time since May of last year, I've actually fully completed a painting project! This is the Warhammer Underworlds warband The Grymwatch, they're a band of ghouls who are completely insane and think they're a noble band of knights but they're actually just, well, flesh-eating ghouls. (Technically they're not actually fully completed quite yet, I still need to varnish them and then apply blood effects, but that's going to have to wait until it's a) not above 25˚C and b) not humid).

A photo of the Grymwatch warband assembled, in sickly green plastic. Seven miniatures, six are zombies, one's holding an axe and pointing, the others are hunched over in various poses. There's also a pair of very large bats.

A photo of the Kainan's Reapers warband assembled, in bone-coloured plastic. Six miniatures, all skeletons. Four are warriors holding various weapons, one has a big staff and is weaing an elaborate headdress, and the last is a HUGE armoured fellow towering over the rest, holding a double-bladed scythe.

A photo of the Starblood Stalkers warband assembled, in torquoise-coloured plastic. Six miniatures, all lizards. One has a blowpipe, another has a spear raised above his head, the third is slinking along. Another is a chameleon with a blowpipe, the fifth has an elaborate staff and is holding a small ball up in triumph, and the last is a big heavily-armoured chonker.

A photo of the Khagra's Ravagers warband assembled, in dark grey plastic. Four miniatures, all human, though aligned with Chaos. Three are heavily-armoured, two of them with helmets on, the third without one (Khagra herself), and the last is a more spindly-looking wizard lady with horns growing out of her head and holding a staff in one hand and casting flame in the other.

That was a productive day, I got ALL the rest of the Warhammer Underworlds warbands assembled! We have the Grymwatch, Kainan's Reapers, the Starblood Stalkers, and Khagra's Ravagers. Of course, it remains to be seen how long it'll be before they're actually painted. 😛 (I should point out that this is more work I've done with my miniatures in the last two days than I'd previously done in the last seven months).

A photo of the box of the Warhammer Underworlds warband "The Grymwatch", which are essentially zombies. Also a bunch of little different coloured tufts of grass that are designed to stick onto a miniature's base and add visual interest, and a tub of "muddy ground" brown texture paint, also for basing.

I'm excited to see what interesting things I can do with these little basing grass tufts and the "muddy ground" texture! Got a few ideas already, and definitely no lack of miniatures on which to use them. And I decided to pick up the Grymwatch having seen someone do a WAY cooler paint job with them than the standard one.
