In the realm of Wyrdhollow, our warbands venture into the depths of the Gnarlwood, where magic has resurged with a vengeance. This season brings forth a delightful array of wizards to accompany our battles. As for myself, I've reignited my passion for painting warbands and have made it a priority to focus on the latest releases rather than my existing backlog. Domitan's Stormcoven Grand Alliance: Order (Stormcast Eternals) Number of Fighters: 3 Access to magic: Three level 1 wizards ( Inspire to level 2) Playstyle: Flex First off, let's delve into Domitan's Stormcoven, a trio of Stormcast wizards. I've chosen to paint them in my signature Hallowed Knights scheme, creating a seamless match with the Truthseekers from Harrowdeep. While these miniatures are certainly impressive, they haven't captured my personal interest as much as others have. My Domitan's Stormcoven - Top Pick...

Gnarlwood saw Warhammer Underworlds return from the Nethermaze, deep in the Realm of Shadows back to the Realm of Beasts. Instead of the mountainous Beastgrave, the setting was a carnivorous forest, tying the Underworlds with Warcry. The Sons of Velmourn Grand Alliance: Death (Soulblight Gravelord) Number of fighters: 5 Access to magic: No wizard Playstyle: Aggro (Rivals), Flex (Nemesis) One of the warbands introduced in Gnarlwood is the Sons of Velmourn, a formidable group of Grave Guard fighters. For three decades, I have been an ardent player of the Undead forces, and when I set out to paint this warband, I envisioned them adorned in the distinguished dark blue colors reminiscent of the notorious Night Lords from Warhammer 40,000. This inspiration sprouted from the iconic shield of Sir Jedran Falseborn, seemingly bearing the symbol of the Night Lords. I want to like this warband but they suffer ...

The sixth season if Warhammer Underworlds saw our warbands descend further below the Shadowsea of Ulgu into the Nethermaze.  The Nethermaze rests below Harrowdeep, acting as a twisted inversion where reality bends to the whims of its shadowy masters. These mysterious entities were born from the Orb Duplicita – also known as the Liar’s Moon – a crucible of dark energies on the Outer Rim of Ulgu.  The Shadeborn Grand Alliance: Order (Daughters of Khaine) Number of fighters: 4 Access to magic: One level 1 wizard Playstyle: Aggro The Shadeborn are a group of four aelves. As such they are quite fragile but are reasonably accurate. They have lost some power since their initial release following the change to the Gloom (cover) hex rule. The warband now needs to pair with a deck that can provide them with additional cover hexes to help them score objectives and utilise their abilities. ...

For the start of Warhammer Underworlds' fifth season our intrepid warbands are descending beneath the waves of the Shadowseas of the Umbral Veil in the Realm of Ulgu. Harrowdeep is a cavernous labyrinthe beneath the seabed of the Shadowsea constructed by Shadow Daemons using Shadow magic. The warbands trapped within Harrowdeep have but one choice to escape the labyrinth is to delve deeper into the maze.  On a side note this has to be my favourite season, as I like all the warbands.   Xandire's Truthseekers Grand Alliance: Order (Stormcast Eternals) Number of fighters: 4 (Total of 14 wounds) Access to magic: One level 1 wizard Play Style: Aggro Playing against: Avoid killing any fighter outright to prevent them inspiring. Killing Stormrider will prevent Taros from inspiring. The Truthseekers struggle with accuracy when uninspired. Xandire's Truthseekers are a group of Stormcast Eter...

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 one of my favourit...

Season 3 of Warhammer Underworlds saw the game shift its setting to the Beastgrave, a living mountain in Ghur, the Realm of Beasts. This season introduced eight warbands to the Underworlds followed by a further two in a little expansion called Dreadfane.  Rippa's Snarlfangs Grand Alliance: Destruction (Gloomspite Gitz) Number of fighters: 3 Access to magic: No wizard Play Style: Aggro Rippa's Snarlfangs are classic fantasy warband of Goblin Wolf-riders. 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. To paint this unit, I used my How I paint Wolves guide and the flesh from my How I paint Moonclan Grots. The Grymwatch  Grand Alliance: Death (Flesh Eaters Court) Number of fighters: 7 Access to magic: N...
