Some more Underworlds has been finished, and only about 7 years after their release, Graddaddy Aggro and his Boys are ready to do some slaughtering.

The good thing about a challenge like this, it motivates to dig really deep into the pile of gray (or in this case, red) plastics…

Nice initiative getting these off the pile. The painted bases fit the board nicely! I have these buried… somewhere… unpainted…

As Underworlds is like the only game I am actually playing at the moment, I kind of like how with the limited paint time I have the past months, progress gets seen with any hour put in.

Guess that’s the benefit of small band games, and for some reason I actually seem to get the game to a decent level, even taking the trophy at lasts weeks GW store event:

Talking Underworlds, as my order arrived, that’s another two warbands to be added to the grey pile…

I really will have to up it a notch for the challenge lol

This is all so great! Really enjoy seeing the progress (and acquisitions). Keep it coming :wink:

Painting goes well (“long live” I guess days off from work + rain all day), as it’s time for some electric boogaloo with The Exiled Dead joining the warband collection.

 ![IMG20240523175926](https://chaos-dwarfs-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/6/8/68033a898a8cd12778c11783d91880bf0067fa38.jpeg)

And that means some slight compensation in the numbers for the challenge with the earlier acquisitions.

Let’s celebrate having something painted with adding something new to the pile.

I just couldn’t pass this one up, especially as he comes with rules and cards for Underworlds (included with issue 500). Having played him last sunday, this is one fun casual game!

 ![IMG20240525155709](https://chaos-dwarfs-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/e/0/e04c9c0aa64e3beb6ac0b75a9c10e9ba2662ffba.jpeg)

Closing of the month, on the very last day, I managed to complete yet another warband for Underworlds. The brand new, I only received them last week, cooking class called the Skinnerkin are ready for some havoc, and I will be taking them out to play hopefully as soon as this week.

And at least that takes me to break-even for this month in the numbers…

With no orders running currently, june might actually see the start of putting down some of those numbers and work away gray mountain in earnest… though one never knows what might come along in opportunities for more fixes to the plastic addiction…

Not really a figure, but as it needs painting, I’m counting it.

I collected the printed participation tokens for the Underworlds tournament I’m hosting the 16th, so of course before that one of these needs to get a paintjob to show off, now does it not :wink:

And a dedicated session later, the token is actually ready

Well, as this year’s BATG shows, I have been putting a lot of effort into Underworlds, and yesterday I organised the first ever event of the game in our clubhouse.

A small but none the less fun affair, and here is a little write up of the whole shaboozle

And here it is, the full event coverage for Into the Under-Ekeren I, the first Warhammer Underworlds tournament ran at the Tin Soldiers Of Antwerp

The coming weeks I’m hoping to round out some units left and right (cough, yeah right), starting with, suprise, another classic Underworlds warband.

 ![IMG20240721085138](https://chaos-dwarfs-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/9/d/9da1ed093de3cc64cb2cd1632ec2280539b53c1c.jpeg)

The Condemnors are from the Beastgrave / Direchasm era, and I love the look of their big hammers. I’m certainly going to have them featured one of these weeks on my YT in a casual gamenight picture report, when I get them along for some Hungering Parasite fun for which they seem highly suitable.

Because it’s clobberin’ time!

The painting goes well this week, as I get some projects finished.

Like this almost completely retouched and repainted “Keeper of Secrets”, for Hedonites of Slaanesh. I deliberatly waited to finally base her until 4th edition AOS hit, and see how she needed to be mounted.

And the probably final models completed for this month, whom are

1. finally some Chaos Dwarf-y (sort of) stuff

AND

1. get me in the “green” on the challenge for the first time this year, only took me 7 months so far…

 ![IMG20240724195523](https://chaos-dwarfs-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/b/4/b49fd494616eee85a461ad6935a474b61bc69dcf.jpeg)

And a small purchase as well this month. At a measly 5 euro on Vinted I couldn’t pass this up, even though I don’t play Cygnar or any of the warjack factions (I play Orboros).

But that looks like a good model to start building a second unit of empowered mechanical behemoth k’daii around, so that is going in the ideas melting pot.

Being mostly an Underworlds and Warhammer (in whatever rank and file edition) player, my gaming buddies invited me yesterday to try out the new Spearhead rules for Age of Sigmar. Which also meant that I would finally give AOS a try, even though I have a still fully boxed army of Idoneth waiting in the cellar for attention.

It was a great fun afternoon, with 2 games managed to get played by everyone, and with one up and one down I was generally happy with the result, but loved the rules for that short, quick game. Something working parents unfortunatly often have to cope with due to time limitations.

You paint some, you buy some…

After almost 5 months of limbo, I finally received my copy of Rivals of the Mirrored City. Now this means more figures to paint, but luckily I already have the two biggest of them, the Briar Queen and Zarbag, [already and painted up](https://tomsche69.blogspot.com/p/warhammer-underworlds.html).

 ![IMG20240809174208](https://chaos-dwarfs-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/a/1/a192435bf98901d22f65e4b95e01c8d6b48c9939.jpeg)

Meaning only Mollog and Spiteclaw are new projects and the smaller bands of the four included. But I also have all the cards now to play the two older ones as well again.

Such a good deal the box.

I played a few games with Zarbag’s new cards and they are awesome! The three shootaz maybe are the MVPs now.

Well, in between holiday trips left and right, I will at least have something finished this month.

With a lonely Wood Elf character, who will become the general for now in the restoration of an The Old World army.

 ![IMG20240811204646](https://chaos-dwarfs-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/1/9/19dcb054a2884d1dc3e4b9c4a5096dc0d0474a33.jpeg)

But first to try out the rules, going in at the last friday this month with of course the Dawi Zharr, so I’ll bring a battle report then!
