White Dwarf 521 – Lumineth in Darkwater
The February 2025 (White Dwarf 521) has card inserts for Four Aelven heroes, ready to delve into the Jade Abbey. Don’t forget to check out the video from Always Board Never Boring: The Heroes: For a grand total of: $148.5 U.S. (plus tax). Ummmm… What? Four minis. $150+ Iladrein Sunblande The miniature is a Vanari Lord Regent $43.50 U.S. Taysha of Tor Limina The miniature is a Scinari Enlightener $35.00 U.S. Zenthil Taior The miniature is a Scinari Loreseeker $35.00 U.S. The Lady Mylathir The miniature is a Scinari Cathallar $35.00 U.S. As much as I love “official” minis, I’m all about proxies to make games more affordable. I haven’t looked too hard, but I didn’t really see any good free or cheap STLs online. A pretty good option is Myari’s Purifiers from the Order Warbands: Heroes and Hunters set. These can be purchased from shuckers on eBay (or similar)…
White Dwarf 520 – Ghouls in Darkwater
Warhammer Quest: Darkwater has its first expansion content. Ghouls. I’ve been a little slow making posts about Darkwater updates because they’ve been coming out in White Dwarf magazines. I’m incredibly fortunate to have a subscription to White Dwarf, however, that means that my issues aren’t delivered until midway through the following month. So, I’m a bit delayed. No big deal. As always, check out the video from ABNB: So, I just received my copy of White Dwarf 520 and will soon check out what the Flesheater Courts bring to the labyrinthine corridors of the Jade Abby. The Heroes: For a grand total of: $168.00 U.S. (plus tax). Ummmm… What? Four minis. $170+ Rawthroat Gorse The miniature is a Marrowscroll Herald $39.00 U.S. Porvyle the Bold The miniature is a Royal Decapitator $39.00 U.S. Friar Skinseam The miniature is an Abhorrant Cardinal $42.00 U.S. Bledivir Blackwing The miniature is an Abhorrant…
What is time? And why there isn’t enough of it
I’m not entirely sure I think about time the same as the typical person. There never seems to be enough time. Not enough time to get projects tone, Things take longer than expected. Rushing from one thing to another. Suddenly finding time on your hands, but not being able to do the thing you’ve been meaning to do. Or, have some time, but not enough to dig into a bigger project. Transitions from one activity to the next. That can really chew up time too. Why does it go by too fast when you’re having fun, but is painful torture when you’re in agony? Should we all be miserable to make our perceived lives longer? I’m asking these questions as someone who wants to play more games, paint more minis and have more fun, but is just kinda busy. Sure, yes, I’ve been waylaid with a pretty nasty cold the…
OMG WHQ!!
Check out these WHQ minis!!! 😍 😍 😍 Someone loved this set!! This is a new listing at Noble Knight games.🤩 🤩 🤩
What’s on the Table?!
Warhammer Quest: Darkwater We defeated Foulhoof with our last hero! Whew! It went from easy, to nearly impossible, to just squeezing it out! Drolf was pretty beaten up, but still ran some interference for the rest of the team. We’ve finished Act I and have now unlocked the bonus heroes. We’re interested to see where this goes next!
More Thoughts about Warhammer Fantasy Battle
So, if say, I did actually pick up and start playing WFB, do I tell people that I play “Warhammer”? Because that’s what the game is. People will think I play 40k though. Jordan Sorcery has a great series on WFB. I really recommend checking it out. It’s made me think about what I’m looking for in a game. I’m not positive I’m really looking for a mega-tactical war simulation. A mild and friendly herohammer experience actually sounds kinda fun. Plus, I wouldn’t have to field massive battalions of troops. I can get by with a few sets of guys with some heroes added in. We’ll see, I still haven’t assigned much time and zero money to making this happen. I think I’ve always been reticent is that I figure I’ll get trounced. My general “game strategy” is to dive in headlong and swinging as hard as I can. Turns…

Something Strange Has Happened
For the first time ever, I’m feeling the urge to acquire and play a rank and flank game. Specifically Warhammer Fantasy Battle – 4th edition. This is completely illogical and out of character for me. I’ve always loved the minis, but battle reports, tape measures, and arguing about line-of-sight have never been my thing. Maybe it’s a mid-life crisis? I’m sure it’ll blow over. I’ll stop thinking about the 1992 classic soon. Just like I’ve nearly stopped thinking about the Sony PSP. I’m almost over it. 1992 was a pretty good year. Not quite as good as 1993 (in music), or 1995 (WARHAMMER QUEST), but still pretty solid. I was, and honestly still am a bit, waffling between 4th and 5th edition. The 5th edition box has better contents, over the somewhat boring goblins and high elves in the 4th edition box. But, for my own personal nostalgia, I’m more…

Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress We speedran the approach to The Corridor of Death and defeated the lurking Urguls. Shadowguide almost croaked, but she made it! Teamwork!
Work in Progress – Darkwater
Contemporary Quest I was fortunate enough to get a copy of Cursed City in the original run. But oddly, I felt bad about having it and it was more than a year before I tackled it. So this time around I told myself that I want to stay up on Darkwater, and strike while the paintbrush is hot! It made me feel like I’m making good progress on the set, because I’m currently in Stage 3 of 4! Normally, I base after painting. But this time around, I based first. Then I primed and base-coated most of the minis. I really like getting a base color on the minis, it catapults them towards completion.
