After several years, I finically got the last three Primal Lair hazards painted for my Warhammer Underworlds collection.

Happy to get them finished. I’m still undecided on what to paint next, planning to have a root around the hobby room later tonight to see what piques my interest.

Happy Hobbying

Having a go with Warhammer Underworlds

So as a previous post mentioned, I have brought Warhammer Underworlds. I’ve been reading through the rule book and there is a lot to take in as beginner. 

I’ve tried watching several Youtube videos - they all seem, to either fly through the game with little to no explanation, give a general ‘sales blurb’ as if they just read from the back of the box, or they go into way to much detail on the tiniest thing, it gets boring very quickly then skip over the important parts.

I was invited to Games Workshop (well I booked it myself after talking to a member of staff) to be taught how to play Warhammer Underworlds. I’ve brought the starter set, I’ve brought a few Warbands. The Games Workshop store has nominated this young girl to go through a couple of games and see if she can get it sink in.

The board is set up and ready to play. We are playing the new Gnarlwood board.

Beginner steps to start off with. Here’s your Cards. Here are your miniatures. These are the basic rules. Roll some Dice.

 We start off putting our miniatures on the board, taking it in turns. We know how to Move or Charge or Attack or Defend. Our first game, is just the deployment (putting miniatures on the board) and combat. We Move, Charge, Attack of Defend. It’s basically HeroQuest at this point.��

I seem to suck at getting good rolls of the dice....

 Then with the basics covered, it’s time to add in the objective tokens (shuffled, upside down, 3 from the first player, 2 from the second player, then turn them the right way up) and then the “cards”. 3 Objective Cards and 5 Power / Upgrade cards.

 This is the point I failed, and it sort of all went to shit.... I’m pretty sure that there are more to the turns than we were going through (whether we were just still in the learning phase) a lot didn’t really make sense with this, and it’s this point that I’m a bit ‘fuzzy’ with. 

I think I just need to read through and find out what the cards do - also there are more ‘stages’ to each turn... this is the bit I need to now learn.

So in Typical Games Workshop fashion, or maybe it’s my desperation for people to like me? But I ended up buying two of the core sets... 

Gnarlwood and Nethermaze. I don’t know why I felt the need to buy both, and spent £130, maybe it was the hopes that I’d get invited out to their lunch party... I didn’t get invited.... 

(great I’ve become *that* guy who turns up to shops and people start to dread...)

A good thing, if you catch my flat mate in a good mood, he wants to play this sort of things. So we crack open Gnarlwood and whilst the basic rules are in my head we have a couple of games.

As the I still needed to put together the figures, I make do with ones dotted about the living room that I already had done.

Thanks Daybreak Minatures I’ll just use the latest Kings of Karmaaz set for my Warband, and my flat mate can use different Undead ones I’ve either printed or nabbed from HeroQuest.

 We go through the basic Rules. Just Moving and Combat for now. Taking our 4 turns for 3 rounds and...

...either I’m good teacher....

or I’m crap..

I died. He Won...

 Now I still need to go through the rules for the cards and objective tokens etc which hopefully will change the game some what, but even though I lost, I still enjoyed myself, and thanks to my flat mate we actually learn’t some rules that I may of missed on my demo-session at the shop.

I did go into my local store (the one with the Jekyl and Hyde manager) during the week, to ask a couple of questions. Luckily he was a in a good mood. He answered some questions (I think he was just glad for some week-day company) and then, some how, I brought more warbands and cards.

I can’t stop buying them !! Essential Cards, Nethermaze: Gorechosen of Dromm and Nethermaze: Hexbane’s Hunter’s. Then I picked up a Beastgrave: Champions of Dreadfane box off eBay... I have no idea why?

I still haven’t understood or played a full game yet, but I *need* them!

I think they did that pretty well with the nurgle warband for Beastgrave or whatever the arena game is called, though looking at the website, it does not seem like its around any more

I think what annoys me so much as a Slaanesh fan about how fanservicey most of the 3rd party minis are, is how obviously uneven and intended for the male gaze they all are. Every deamon or cultist or sister, and even some marines of Slaanesh are all girls with their tits, buts and sometimes even slits out. And not a single cock in sight. At which point we can't even pretend its because Slaanesh is the God of hedonism and pleasure; its just to provide wank bait for gamers. In fact, despite my fairly good knowledge of 3rd party miniatures, I can come up with only a single Slaaneshi model that's sporting a erection at all (albeit hidden behind a loincloth), and its a girl! Where are my bottomless Sigvalds, my Fiends with incomfortably phallic tongues? I feel that by only limiting themselves to the female form, sculptors are missing out on a whole lot of weird and creepy geiger-esque body horror.

Rippa Narkbad

Rippa's Snarlfangs

Warhammer Underworlds

Season 3

Beastgrave

Amongst the Gitmobs, it is no crime to launch a leadership challenge by trying to stab your Gitlord in the back. It is, however, inadvisable to mess it up. When Rippa Narkbad’s bid for power went horribly wrong, he chose rapid and self-imposed exile over the messy death he would undoubtedly have faced if he had hung about. His two best ladz, Stabbit and Mean-eye, came with him, more out of guilt by association than any real sense of loyalty. Down but not defeated, Rippa has led his grumbling and mutinous companions to Beastgrave in pursuit of the magnificently shiny choppa he sees every night in his dreams. With that blade in his hand, surely Rippa could ride back to his tribe and claim rulership over the headless corpses of all his old rivals…

More progress on the Primal Lair hazards tonight. I’ve finished the large bones, all that’s left is to paint the horns in a black/grey scheme and then it will be a case of finishing off the many, many small skulls and bones which are scattered around the rocks. With any luck, I’ll get all three remaining hazards completed in the next few days.

Happy Hobbying!
