A photo of a game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's a miniature-and-card-based game played on boards with hex tiles on them. On the board were my warband of six armoured skeletons, four spooky ghost-looking things, four lithe elves, and three lightly armoured humans alongside a big S&M-looking goat-man.

Mid-week gaming this week was a FOUR-player game of Warhammer Underworlds! Unsurprisingly we only got through one round, but one of the players hadn't even played before. I managed to eke out a win on 8 glory, and Kristina came back from nowhere to finish on 7.

A photo of four Warhammer Underworlds warbands that have been undercoated black and then had a white zenithal highlight done over that (using an airbrush to paint white only from the top of the miniatures where light naturally falls). The Exiled Dead has seven zombies, Elathain's Soulraid has three armoured elves along with a crab and a fish, Hedkrakka's Madmob is four savage-looking orks, and the Gorechosen of Dromm are three big muscly dudes with one that looks like it's transforming into a demon.

What a productive day that was! Got all my remaining warbands assembled and primed and zenithal-highlighted. I'm getting the new Underworlds box, Gnarlwood, for Christmas, so my aim is to get all my remaining warbands painted before then.

And then I really should start at least assembling and priming some of my Kill Team squads, since nearly all of them haven't even been taken off the sprues yet.

A photo of the boxes of two miniature sets for Warhammer Underworlds. Hedkrakka's Madmob is a tribe of green orcs with loinclothes and basic but savage-looking weaponry, and Elathan's Soulraid are a group of extremely pale elves who live underwater.

I might have gotten the bug again and ordered two more warbands. >_>

A photo of the box of the Warhammer Underworlds warband "Gorechosen of Dromm". The art on the front is three beefcake dudes, one's got a big ceremonial headdress on and is wielding an axe and a staff, one has very Immortan Joe from Max Mad vibes, and the other is part demon with absurdly large arms and big horns over his shoulders.

Last year we had a "creative refresh day" at work, where our whole department got a free day off to go do something creative and we could expense the stuff we got. Naturally I bought a Warhammer Underworlds warband and painted them, and we've been having a monthly just "refresh day" pretty much since then, just a free day off work.

We've got another refresh day on Friday next week, and my team decided we'd do something remote but as a team, I suggested miniature painting and a bunch of people were keen for it so naturally I've bought another warband. 😁

A photo of six almost Egyptian-looking skeletons wielding various weapons. One of them is HUGE and has moose-like antlers coming from his head and is holding a massive scythe. The armour plates are done in a dark blue/green colour and the edges of the armour looks like bone and is done in a shiny golden brass, and they've got tatty but really rich red-coloured loin cloth things.

And that's Kainan's Reapers done! I think that green on their armour might be my new favourite colour, and I'm super-happy with how the red cloths came out too. I did a proper highlight on those rather than drybrushing, because I wouldn't be able to get in sufficiently to do a drybrush properly without getting the red on all the surrounding areas too.

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.

Kainan's Reapers are coming along nicely!

A photo of four painted miniatures. They're all elves in various dynamic positions and have cloaks that turn into... not quite smoke at the ends, and the cloaks have been painted this INCREDIBLY deep and rich dark purple colour. They've got some leather clothing that's a deep burgundy colour, their pants are black, armoured parts are silver, and they've all got rich gold clasps holding the cloaks together. The leader lady has a big staff with a bright turquoise crescent moon thing on the top, and she's got a mask on that hides her face that's got gold around it and the same bright turquoise for the faceplate. The bases have been painted in a deep blue then drybrushed with a much lighter blue.

And that's the Shadeborn done! I'm absolutely stoked with these, the colours go so well together and I love the simplicity of the bases, like it's midnight or something.

A photo of four partially painted miniatures. They're all elves in various dynamic positions and have cloaks that turn into... not quite smoke at the ends, and the cloaks have been painted this INCREDIBLY deep and rich dark purple colour.

Games Workshop released new some paints in their Contrast paint line earlier this year, and they've got some new formulations that mean they can do REALLY pigmented paints. I picked some of them up and am using them on the Shadeborn, and oh man, that purple in particular. 😍

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.
