My Second Underworlds Tournament - Agents Con '23

Image
Checkout my  Warhammer Underworlds - Contents Page for more articles. On Sunday the 24th of September 2023, I once again journeyed to Market Harborough to play in the Agents Con 23 Nemesis Clash. This time I would taking Magore's Fiends combined with Tooth and Claw. An important point to make, I have never played with Magore's Fiends before! I built the deck ( Savage Magore's ) with the simple premise of getting into my opponent's territory before killing the enemy fighters. The deck had gone through numerous iterations, but I was happy with it. The question is, would I still be happy by the end of the day?   Opponent 1 My first opponent was Andy Smith who was using Ironsoul’s Condemnors with Voidcursed Thralls.  Game 1 went well. Magore's Fiends charged into his territory and proceeded to hack his fighters. I scored glory well taking down his fighters and ticked through my objective deck scoring almost all the cards I drew. The game ended with all Condemno...

How I paint - Flesh Eaters Court - ghouls.

How to Paint Crypt Ghouls  In this guide, I will show you how to paint Crypt Ghouls with a pale, desaturated skin tone to reflect their unnatural, troglodytic existence. Inspired by my old Vampire Counts army from Warhammer Fantasy Battles, I wanted these ghouls to look distinctly different from living humans by removing warmer tones and creing a cold, corpse-like finish. This method focuses on mixing greys into flesh tones, controlled washes, and soft highlights to build a sickly, unnatural look. The approach is simple, effective, and ideal for painting small warbands or full Flesh-eater Courts forces.

Probability in Warhammer Underworlds - Part 3 Magic

Checkout my  Warhammer Underworlds - Contents Page for more articles.   This is part 3 of a little series on Probability in Warhammer Underworlds. I am continuing my look at how the probability of dice rolls in Warhammer Underworlds impacts the use and roles of individual fighters. Today, I am looking into magic dice. I have always like wizards but I keep hearing that magic is not that good in Underworlds. I need to investigate... Magic dice Magic dice were introduced into Underworlds, for the second season, Nightvault and have made a come back in Gnarlwood and Wrydhollow.  These blue dice  have 6 sides and 3 unique symbols. The Critical appears once, the Focus appears twice and the Channel appears three times on each dice. With a single dice roll  there is a 1/6 chance  (16.67%)  of a Critical being rolled. There is also a 5/6 chance that Critical will not be rolled. This is really important for calculating the chance of success with multiple dice. A...
