Jon Grant Miniatures

February has been a busy month for both my home and work life. As such, my time for painting and gaming has been limited. Having stated this I did find enough time to fit a good number of  activities. At the time of writing, I only have seven Warhammer Underworlds left to paint. These are: The Crimson Court, Elathain's Soulraid, Cyreni's Razors, the Shadeborn, Skitterhank's Clawpack, Daggok's Stab-Ladz and Zondara's Gravebreakers. It most cases, especially the older warbands, I have not painted them as I feel little affinity for the miniatures. I am, however, attempting to finish the whole range this year, so I do not to work through these, in my opinion, less interesting warbands. To this end, I started with Skittershank's Clawpack. Having painted some Skaven recently, I had an idea of how I wanted to paint these miniatures. I started with Krowch't and Skulck. I opted for black cloth on these Night Runners, but as low level Clan Eshin operatives there was s...

Since then, the game has progressed through nine seasons to reach the Deathgorge. At the time of writing, there are over 50 legal WU warbands, but it is very difficult to get hold of the cards for warbands from the earlier seasons. As WU is a competitive game with a design space to be played in tournaments, it can be challenging for newer players to practice against older warbands. Without practise against warbands, this can be disadvantageous in tournaments.  Back in 2023, GW released their second WU Starter set, which contained the Farstriders and the Sepulchral Guard (the first, released in 2019, contained the Storm of Celestus and the Wraithcreepers). Both of these warbands had been part of Shadespire, the original season of WU. Importantly, the starter box, along with the re-release of the miniatures, also provided updated R...

On the 24th February, I attended my fourth Warhammer Underworlds tournament organised by Pete and Robin from the Agents of Sigmar. Again we were in Redhill, at the Gamers Guild. Having been practising with Lady Harrow's Mournfligh t for the past few months I took them again.  The deck list can be found over on my  Nemesis Deck Library . Game 1 My first game ended up as a bye due to uneven numbers, but I played against Robin with his Grymwatch paired with Malevolent Masks. Robin, with his usual dice luck, and I, unfortunately, lacking any, set the tone for the match. Throughout the game, I only managed about four successful dice rolls, making it challenging for my deck to get the Glory train rolling. By the end of the first round, the score was 4 v 1 against me, and I had not managed to eliminate a single ghoul. Despite this, I had successfully inspired all my fighters. Unfortunately, so had the Gr...
