Jon Grant Miniatures

Back in the early 1990s, when I first started playing Warhammer , there was a campaign system inside the Realms of Chaos: The Lost and the Damned book that focused on small Chaos warbands. I played a Nurgle warband against a small group of friends during Thursday games nights at Games Workshop Sheffield. After that campaign, I always kept a small Nurgle force for Warhammer Fantasy Battle . I even took the army to a tournament once. I didn’t do too badly, finishing the day with three wins and two losses. When Warhammer Fantasy Battle was eventually replaced by Age of Sigmar , I wasn’t sure whether the new game would catch on. So, I decided to collect a Nurgle daemon force. My thinking was simple: if I didn’t end up liking Age of Sigmar , I could always use them in Warhammer 40K . On the gaming side, I’ve been hooked on Warhammer Underworlds since the release of Nightvault , the game’s second season. When the Wurmspat were released in Beastgrave (season three), featuring a Nurgle sor...

I started playing Games Workshop’s Warhammer Fantasy Battle (WFB) way back in 1990. Over the years, I’ve collected a variety of armies: the Undead, the Empire, Ogre Kingdoms, Chaos Warriors, and Daemons. When Age of Sigmar (AoS) arrived, I initially gravitated toward the Maggotkin of Nurgle—primarily as a daemon-based force that could also be used in Warhammer 40K . Eventually, I found myself drawn to the Nighthaunt gheists. Throughout my WFB days, I mostly played Undead forces. So, when the Nighthaunt emerged in AoS, they naturally became my chosen faction. I didn’t care how powerful they were on the tabletop; I was far more interested in them as a collection of miniatures to paint. How I Paint Nighthaunts On the gaming side, I’ve been hooked on Warhammer Underworlds since the release of Nightvault , the game’s second season. This was also when the Thorns of the Briar Queen were introduced—the first warband I ever played. My Thorns After several years and many warbands, I discover...

Kamandora’s Blades worship Khorne, but they are not front line warriors. These scavengers stalk the bloodsoaked battlefields left behind by the Blades of Khorne, preying on stragglers and survivors. They hunt not for glory, but for skulls, bleeding out their victims with slow, deliberate malice before claiming their grisly prize. Kamandora, the Mother of Hate [1], leads this brutal warband with her loyal hound Kannat [2]. Alongside her are the grim and dependable Throkk [3], and the ruthless scavengers Ghalista [4] and Antro Krast [5]. Together, they pick their way through the aftermath of battle, hunting down those who slipped through the net of Khorne’s fury. Every skull they claim is another offering in service to their dark purpose. But they do not keep these trophies. Each skull is meant for a singular destination: the towering pyramid of bone where Korghos Khul ascended to daemonhood. The Blades' purpose is grim, but resolute. After all, even in the shadow of madness, it help...
