Warhammer Underworlds - Direchasm warbands

Image
FIRST EDITION Checkout my  Warhammer Underworlds - Contents Page for more articles. Season 4 of Warhammer Underworld saw our warbands continue to explore the Beastgrave. As the story moved on some of the warbands entered the setting with a quest to seal the mountain. By the end of season 4 most factions for Age of Sigmar now had a warband in Underworlds. Direchasm was a notable season for me as it was released during the first year of the Covid pandemic. The release schedule of the warbands was punishing and I fell behind with my painting. I moved away a little from Warhammer Underworlds and did not really come back until Gnarlwood. As such I have painted some but not all the warbands. This season continues to be a work in progress. Kainan's Reapers Grand Alliance: Death (Ossiarch Bonereapers) Number of fighters: 6 (Total of 17 wounds) Access to magic: One level 1 wizard Play Style: Aggro (Horde) Kainan's Reapers are a group of Ossiarch Bonereapers.

They are an elite-aggro warband with access to excellent faction cards. Even though each fighter outputs small quantities of damage, there extra reaction attacks ensure that you are rolling lots of dice, thereby increasing the reliability.

Image
FIRST EDITION Checkout my  Warhammer Underworlds - Contents Page for more articles. The first season of Warhammer Underworlds was set in the Shyishian city of Shadespire. A city cursed by Nagash. Into this city entered eight warbands. Each of these warbands gave me a group of miniatures with the flavour of one of the factions from Age of Sigmar.

Hobby Goals - March 2024

Image
  March arrived and I wanted to complete another Warhammer Underworlds warband. Last month, I painted a few miniatures from four different warbands. I had wanted to paint a range of miniatures.  I began the month by painting a second member of the Crimson Court, Gorath the Enforcer to add to Ennias, who I had painted last month. Early on in the month, I had an idea that I might like to try playing with Cyreni's Razors. I do not like to play with unpainted miniatures, so I decided to paint the two Namarti fighters, Alathyrr and Renglaith. Then I moved onto the leader of the Warband, Cyreni of the Abyss. Having established the scheme on the Namarti, Cyreni was straightforward to paint.  How I Paint - Idoneth With Cyreni complete, I could tick off ' Paint a Warhammer Underworlds warband '.  I have been enjoying painting the Idoneth, it took me a little time to find a scheme I liked but I am happy now. With Cyreni's Razors complete, I turned my attention to some other Id...
