Warhammer Underwear: The Chosen Axes

I have for the longest time been thinking on how to paint these. I knew I did not want to do them all in the official caucasian skin, orange hair that is so prevalent. Options for their look included a Dia de los Muertos or Calaveras de Azucar-style, Pictish blue daub, Voodoo-shadowman-black with painted skeleton on […]

Warhammer Underwear: The Farstriders

My arms are acting up again. (Curse you, painfully inflamed carpal tunnel ligament-thingies!) So I will have to put painting a bit on the back burner for the immediate future until the pain clears up again. Hopefully soon… But I was able to finish the Shadespire Farstriders, the Stormcast Vanguard-Hunters variants. Basically Cybermen with […]

Warhammer Underwear: Thorns of the Briar Queen

The Nighthaunts the Nightvault… ok, enough with the bad puns already. I used these to experiment with some color schemes I wanted to try out for my Nighthaunt army that is patiently awaiting to be brought to life. I chose to do the bases in black flock to represent the life having […]

Warhammer Underwear: Zarbag’s Gitz

The Night Goblins Moonclan Grotz venture forth from their fungus-infested caves to do battle in the Nightvault. Being so small and weedy, they compensate by being many. There are nine of them, one more than the eight starter positions on the game board. So yeah, I went with the fungal theme… Old Zarbag […]

Warhammer Underwear: The Eyes of the Nine

Tzeentch, the changer of ways also has a special place in my heart, (next to Nurgle, Khorne and Slaanesh…) and this group reminds me that I still have some unpainted minis from Warhammer Quest Silver Tower to do. I seem to have jumped the queue abit with this one, a second season Nightvault […]

Endless Spells: The Soulsnare Shackles

I love the concept of representing persistent spells with miniatures, and with the Malign Sorcery box released earlier this year for Age of Sigmar, GW made some excellent minis. In game you buy them for points just as if they were troops. Much like summoning daemons or raising undead. Which actually makes perfect sense when […]

Warhammer Underwear: Sepulchral Guard

And so we come to the ancient and restless dead in the Warhammer Underworlds. The Sepulchral Guard. Which also is a great name for a thrash metal band. I painted these in November, but have not had the time to take pictures before now. Sorry about the slightly blurry pictures, a leg […]

Urutaa / Death Guard: Herald of Nurgle

Forge World’s Herald of Nurgle! I like this one so much better than the GW Plaguebearer herald mini, which I think is rather uninspired. Half man, half slug, half robot, all baby sitter! This is the companion piece to the Forge World Daemon Prince of Nurgle I recently painted, and comes in […]

Urutaa / Death Guard: Daemon Prince of Nurgle

Forge World’s Daemon Prince of Nurgle! I like this one so much better than the GW space marine daemon prince mini. I bought this second hand some time ago, and now that I have looked at the forgeworld site to see what the name of this mini actually is (turns out it is […]

Warhammer Underwear: Magore’s Fiends

Next up of the Shadespire teams is Magore’s Fiends, the Blades of Khorne Blood Warriors: One of the last pair of sets released for Shadespire before they started the new season with Nighvault were the Khorne Blood Warriors with Fleshhound, and was criticized for being too similar to the minis in the Storm […]

Urutaa: A Plague of Daemons

Urutaa is a Maori word meaning “pestilence” and “plague” and “fever”. It is also a sound that evokes “METAL!”. So I will call the whole army Urutaa. Because they kill you FILTHY! I bought heavily into the new editon 40k and especially the Death Guard when they were released. At the same time I also […]

Warhammer Underwear: Ironskull’s Boyz

The third warband to get some attention is the orc big’uns, sorry, Orruk Ironjawz one. I like how they have evolved the orcs in Age of Sigmar, following the scale creep by making even bigger big’uns. I am not too enthused about the name changes, even though I do understand the IP-ownership reasons for it. […]
