Timeworn Ruins, Wight King, and Snarlboss with Wolfgit Retinue

 

I rolled out to the Warhammer Store to play a few games this week (Game Reports Coming Soon!) and both times items I ordered arrived while I was there!

Snarlboss and Wolfgit Retinue

These are the same models as Rippa's Snarlfangs - the Warhammer Underworlds warband. I haven't played for a while, but I haven't entirely written the game off. In the BIG SUMMER PREVIEW last week they announced the new Underworlds core box and that they'll be doing four more boxes of four re-released warbands - one for each Grand Alliance - AND they'll be doing a pack of cards again for all sixteen warbands (for those of us that already HAVE all those warbands!). 

As it happens, I have ALL BUT ONE of the warbands being re-released (Rippa's Snarlfangs)! I checked the age of Sigmar section and found they still had the Snarlboss and Wolfgit Retinue - which, itself was a rerelease of the Rippa's Snarlfang models (but without cards) that could be used in a Gloomspite Gitz army. Last year, when they did the same, all of those warbands being re-released were removed from the website, so I ordered this right away and had it shipped to the store (because that's FREE!) 

WILL I return to Warhammer Underworlds...? Maybe? If not, I have three really cool goblin wolf-riders I can use in other games! 

Dominion of Sigmar: Timeworn Ruins

I did pick up Radukar the Beast a few weeks back (or months!?) and I still haven't assembled him... partly because the model is climbing over a big log with gnarled branches and stuff... and ALL THE OTHER Soulblight Gravelord stuff I have has been based on urban bases of flagstones and rubble... so I though that would be a little out of place... In the end I decided to pick up the Timeworn Ruins set so I could use one of the bits as the thing Radukar is climbing over, and then I'll have a bunch of fast and easy to paint scatter terrain for... whatever...?! 

AND THEN... Because I was feeling like I needed a bit more exercise, I rolled out there AGAIN! (it is ~20Km round trip, depending on the route I take...) 

Wight King

I picked up a Wight King for Finnegan to use as his character in the Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Soulbound game we are playing with Champions of Death! 

I am going to replace the skull and crown with maybe a chaos knights helmet - with some ridiculous horns or something - the concept was the character is covered in armour from head to toe, so you couldn't tell, just form looking at him... from a distance... that it's just a skeleton in that armour... 

Work-in-Progress Wedensday - 25 December 2024

Happy Christmas to all who celebrate (and I hope all of the rest of you are having an equally fabulous day!) We're going to play another game of Warhammer Quest today... but I have gotten a little painting in this week. 

I got a fair bit done in the past week... I finished up the last of the Cursed City Heroes; Octren Glimscry and Cleona Zeitengale, then I also finished up the second-to-last of the Cursed City hostiles; Gorslav the Gravekeeper, and finally a Chaos Sorcerer Lord! 

First I cracked the Arcane Cataclysm box that Santa gave me... 

I assembled, based and primed the Cursling from the box... 

As well as a few of the Tzaangor on the Discs of Tzeentch. I assembled one as a Tzaangor Enlighted and the other two as Tzaangor Skyfires. 

I also assembled and primed the three Screamers of Tzeentch

The Tzaangor and Screamers are needed for the next session of the Soulbound Role-Playing Game, which is next Tuesday! If I got those done this coming week I would be very happy! 

Of course, all of the Sylvaneth and Nighthaunt I ALSO wanted to finish up by the end of the year are still on the workbench... not so sure I'll finish these now... 

There is still Torgillius the Chamberlain and the two Gibbet Mysterious Objects - the last three miniatures for Cursed City - still haunting the workbench. Having looked at the Encounter Cards and found Torgillius doesn't ever show up until Level Two (and only half of the Heroes have even made it to Level One!) and I've been making good use of all the Hellboy terrain features as Mysterious Objects... so I'm not in as big of a rush to finish these... 

I DID do some work on the Darkoath Warqueen... even if it was just undercoating her skin! 

And now some Goblins and Squigs have made their way back onto the table - as they'll be needed in some upcoming sessions of Soulbound...!

I have a GAME PLAN post coming up at the end of the Month that detail the miniatures I'm hoping to get done over the next few months. Generally, the plan is to work on anything needed for the Soulbound game, and when there isn't something immediately needed, I'm going to focus on assembling and painting the Soulblight Gravelords and Slaves to Darkness armies! (and maybe finishing up the Nighthaunts and Sylvaneth, if I fail to finish them up by the end of the year!?)

What's everyone else working on this week!? 

Did Santa bring you any goodies!?
