How I Paint Gloomspite Gitz Sneaky Snufflers This is my guide to painting the Gloomspite Gitz Sneaky Snufflers, with a particular focus on the spider basket and its fungal cargo. It uses a combination of techniques from several of my other painting guides to complete these detailed miniatures. These are not quick models to paint and can become quite frustrating at times. In fact, I found them to be amongst the more challenging Gloomspite Gitz miniatures I have painted. When painting my Sneaky Snufflers, I discovered that the real challenge was not the grot or the Snuffle Squig. Both could be painted using recipes I had already developed for Moonclan Grots and Squigs. The difficult part was the spider basket and its cargo of fungi. I struggled to find any useful painting guides for Sneaky Snufflers online, so this article focuses on the area that caused me the most difficulty: the fungal cargo and the spider carrying it. This guide follows two important principles. Firstl...

Borgit's Beastgrabbaz - A Warhammer Underworlds Warband Review For more Warhammer Underworlds Warbands Reviews → Or go to my Warhammer Underworlds contents page → Introduction Borgit's Beastgrabbaz are the fifth Gloomspite Gitz warband to enter the Underworlds. This group of gitz is searching the Underworlds for Trugg, the Troggoth King. The warband is made up of Borgit Wolf-Killa (1), who leads the Beastgrabbaz. He is accompanied by Snagz (2), Hobblin' Dregg (3), Uglug (4) (a small Troggoth), and Rigg and Sham (5), who dress as a squig and lead Uglug around. Fighter Characteristics Borgit is the leader of the Beastgrabbaz. He has a solid set of characteristics with a Move of 3, a Save of 2 Block, 3 Health, and a Bounty of 2. His attack is Range 1, 2 Hammers, and 2 Damage with Crit Grievous. Upon inspiration, Borgit goes to Move 4 and 3 Hammers on his attack.

When I began painting my Rockgut Troggoths (Stone Trolls), I wanted them to look as though a flesh and blood creature had started to petrify. Most of the stone terrain in my collection is grey with a greenish tinge. This was the colour I wanted to replicate on my trolls. As I was painting my trolls, I made a note of the colours I used but I did not take any pictures, as I never intended to make a guide. After I had finished painting these miniatures, I decided to write up the method, in case I needed it again. Then, I thought I might as well share it.
