The Magmahold

 I finished my Kharadron army yesterday, so this week's blog is going to be a picture heavy army showcase for them. Here's the whole force. I have around 3000 points I think, which gives me quite a few list options to play with. It's a weird time to have finished this army: I'm not able to play games at the moment due to local covid-19 restrictions, and it seems pretty likely that Kharadron will see some points increases if there is a winter FAQ this year, so the army could be in quite a different place by the time I'm able to get it on the table. But I'm looking forward to when I'll eventually be able to get some games in with them, regardless. I started off painting just a few units to go alongside my Tempest's Eye force, and then decided to expand it when the Aether Wars box came out in early 2020.  Here are all the foot troops. The arkanaut company were probably my favourite models in the army to paint, they're a lovely kit, and I think my colour

Something a bit different this week: I thought I'd write a short guide to playing Warhammer Underworlds over webcam. Underworlds is probably my favourite gaming system, and prior to the pandemic I organised a weekly meet-up in a friendly local game store. During the pandemic we've switched to a weekly meet-up over webcam, which has worked pretty well, it's never going to be quite the same as playing face to face, but I've really enjoyed being able to get some games in. This guide is focused on casual gaming, if you're interested in what more you'd need to do for full on competitive play over webcam, I'd suggest checking out Can You Roll a Crit's tournament rules for his UK Masters tournament. What do you need to play Warhammer Underworlds over webcam? Everything you'd normally need to play Underworlds - your own models, dice, tokens, boards, and cards. Some spare models to proxy the opponent's warband. It's easier if you have the actual model

  Let's review how I did against the goals I set myself last month, and look at what I'm hoping to get done this month. Last month's goals 1. Paint a second frigate and repair my first one: complete ! I love painting Kharadron boats, so this was a fun project. 2. Paint 10 irondrakes for my ghost dwarf force: complete ! I even made a start on a second box, but ran out of steam on them partway through so they're sitting on top of my shame pile at the moment. 3. Plan my armies on parade board, and get together the materials I need to make it: partly complete . I have a rough plan (which I'll go into in a future post), but haven't picked up any of the stuff I need for it yet. I need to spend some time watching terrain tutorial videos to figure out how best to go about it. Not a bad hobby month though, all in all. This month the main thing I want to do is to finish off my Kharadron Overlords army. I have all the models I need, and they're all built, so I just nee
