I took a bread from the Warhammer Underworlds warbands last night to finish up three little scatter terrain bits from the Nightvault era
These are Soul Refractors. They show up on two boards...
The Soul Refractor board (from the Nightvault core box)
(and the Shattered Refractor from the Forbidden Chambers board set, which I don't have!)
The Soul Refractor Board with terrain pieces.
These could easily be used as scatter terrain for loads of fantasy settings. They'd be perfect for Frostgrave!
I do really like these little terrain bits to mark blocked hexes. I think I'd ..read more

No new miniatures purchased in the last week.. though I did go pick up the FREE Miniature of the Month from the Warhammer store, and I will be picking up Warhammer Underworlds: Wintermaw on Saturday!!
Here's what I'm working on...
(sorry all the pics turned out terrible... but I had neither the time nor inclination to reshoot them all or spend too much more time tinkering with editing them... they're just work in progress shots... you get the idea. I'll take better pics when they're done...)
I'd thought the first of the new warbands to be painted would be Zondara's, for sure ..read more

Once again Orion and Nick joined us for a couple of games of Warhammer Underworlds on the first Sunday in April.
We started off with a game set in Shadespire (only using boards from Shadespire/Nightvault)
I wanted to try out the freshly painted Sons of Velmorn with their own Rivals Deck and selected Katophrane's Reliquary board. Amanda wanted to keep playing Elathain's Soulraid, still just using their own Rivals Deck and took The Cursed Oubliette board). Nic was playing Grashrack's Despoilers with a Nemesis deck using Break Neck Slaughter on The Ruptured Seal. Orion ..read more

Another Week, Another Warband...
(Although, I'm not sure I finished one last week, technically... but one of these weeks I'm sure to finish up two, as i'm working on a few simultaneously at any given moment)
The Sons of Velmorn
(Well, it's actually Velmorn and his sons... )
King Morlak Velmorn
Sir Jedrean Falseborn (Velmorn's illegitimate son and bodyguard)
Marshal Faulk Velmorn (The Eldest of Velmorn's sons, heir to the throne and commander of the armies)
Thain, Fourth-and-Last (the Youngest of Velmorn's Sons)
Helmar the Hewer
I think these look really cool. I li ..read more

Yesterday, the last Sunday in March, Nic and Orion came over to play some more Warhammer Underworlds.
In our first game I rolled out with my new Skabbik's Plague Pack. They had not done well in their first game against Amanda playing Elathain's Soulraid.
Amanda was playing Elathain's Soulraid again, Nic played Cyreni's Razors, and Orion was playing the Crimson Court.
Cyreni's starrted off the bullying of the rats by charging in with THE SQUID and killing poor Poxlix...
Vellas charged in to attack Tammael.
And quicly found herself surrounded by Elath ..read more

It's Wednesday! Here is what I'm working on this week!
Did I finish a warband last week...? No, I don't think I did! The last one was Skabbik's and that was over a week ago!? Ah, well... I finished painting SIX in March, so... I think I'm going to do okay keeping up with the warband a week - when averaged over the year (or quarter?).
I am STILL working on the Sons of Velmorn, and that's probably the closest to getting done. My hope is to finish this one up this week and get cracking on some NEW ONES.
(Domitan's Stormcoven is also VERY close to being done... but I haven ..read more

Looking back at Game Plan 2024-Q1... I didn't so much as have a PLAN as I had loose hopes and general intentions... and not a lot else...
Q1 Review
Role-Playing Games
I'd really wanted to get a Role-playing game going of some sort. I was pretty excited about Blade Runner or Twilight: 2000... Or maybe Wrath & Glory or Hellboy...
In the end I did make a plan to start running a Soulbound game - rekindling the online campaign and running a one-shot for some local people... but about a week before both of those were to start.... My mom ended up in the hospital and I got a little dis ..read more

I played a LOT of games in February! Mind you, it was pretty much exclusively Warhammer Underworlds and Warhammer 40,000... I went into this month knowing I'd probably be playing more of the former and less (if any) of the latter...
Sunday, 3 March 2024
Sunday has kind of become "Warhammer Underworlds Sunday" as, at this point, we'd played Warhammer Underworlds on the last six Sundays in a row (and 6/9 Sundays so far this year)... And almost all of those involved playing with Nic and Orion... and this was to be no different... except then it snowed... like, A LOT. Most of the city was s ..read more

Destroying any chance of being "in the black" with the painted versus purchased, I picked up Zondra's Gravebreakers and the Rivals of the Mirrored City this morning...
All the new toys
Between Zondara's Greavbreakers and the Rivals of the Mirrored City, this adds another THIRTY miniatures to the Purchased pile - bringing the total to 73, so far, this year - versus the 38 that I have painted! Mind you, last year I only painted 66 miniatures in the ENTIRE YEAR, so I feel like I'm doing a bit better this year... Unfortunately, Warhammer Underworlds: Wintermaw will be out in just two weeks ..read more

Last Work-in-Progress Wednesday for March 2024... and the last one for 2024-Q1!
No new miniatures purchased in the last week - because I failed to realize that GW now does two week Pre-Orders!?
In the past week, I managed to finish off Skabbik's Plaguepack and the Neurogaunt (Free Miniature of the Month for March 2024) - so keeping up with the plan of painting ONE Warhammer Underworlds warband each week! This brings my total painted 28mm miniatures so far this year to 38 (versus 43 purchased). Regardless of how much I paint in the next week, I will not be in the black at the e ..read more
