White Dwarf
Just because this is short, doesn’t mean that it’s low effort! I went through all of my White Dwarf magazines (old and new!) and took note of everything I found interesting. There’s so much content published, I’m going to start losing track of which issue is what. It’s now available above, in the “Blog” menu. I’ll to my best to keep it updated, but, sometimes it’s tough to keep up on everything. So no promises.
More Darkwater News
I’m late with updates because I can only do hobby stuff on nights and weekends, but here’s the latest leaks! What happened in the last couple days? A blurry pre-release photo leaked out: So GW tried to get ahead of the story with a post on Warhammer-Community. They put a good spin on it and offered to reveal more into about a single character based on a poll. These are the choices: I voted for the dwarf, but the knight won. I don’t mind, he’s pretty cool. But I think the biggest news (division) is the board pictured above. It looks like a map-book. My knee jerk reaction was that I didn’t like it. It looks very unimpressive. There’s hardly any components pictured. What precisely are we getting for what I can only guess will be $250 US. With a map-book, that means that there’s no more exploration aspect to…
Cursed City Expansions
The Cursed City core box came out in 2021, and I’m not going to say any more about that. Welcome back to October! My favorite month! Cooler temperatures, spooky movies, Halloween, autumn ales, and of course… Cursed City! It was followed by a number of expansions and additions. It can be tough to keep up with everything that is released after a game hits the market, especially when a list is started while content is still coming out. The internet is littered with incomplete contemporary Warhammer Quest lists. The good news is that nothing new will ever come out for Cursed City. That’s sarcasm. It’s horrible. This is the first year since 2015 that there hasn’t been new Warhammer Quest content. Sad! This is the first edition of WHQ that I’ve acquired at the initial release. I didn’t buy 1995 because it was expensive, I was still feeling the disappointment…
I put a couple of models together
Not a ton of hobbying going on this summer, but I put a couple of models together:
An Ode to the Airbrush
You don’t even have to be good. Apply a zenithal prime and a translucent base color, now you’re in business! When you pick up that mini to paint, now you’re not starting at zero. You’ve already knocked out a good chunk. You’ve enabled yourself. A barrier is gone, it’s easier to start painting. Things you’ll need The Badger 105 Patriot that I use puts out a lot of paint, maybe too much really. But I wanted something that I can use on terrain as well as minis. Here’s a few examples of minis that have been run through the spray booth. I really find it mentally heartening to pick up a mini to paint that’s already 20% done.
What’s on the Table?!
Advanced Heroquest – The Maze As brutal as ever. Barbarian died twice, wizard died once before we ran away!
Blitz Bowl Proxy Sizes
Apologies for probably my lowest energy post ever, but I knew it was going to happen sometime. Here’s some good info about Blood/Blitz Bowl mini sizes for those of you proxying at home.
Blood Bowl Has The Best Minis
We play Blitz Bowl in my house, but they’re the same minis. If you’ve ever wondered what GW minis would look like if they were infused with 50% more whimsy, take a look at the entire Blood Bowl lineup. When I was a kid, I didn’t like the idea of sworn mortal enemies playing a game with each other. There should be swords and blood! But now, in my dottering old age, I appreciate the silliness. The whimsy, even. Who knows why that goblin has a chainsaw, or pogo stick? I don’t, but isn’t he cute?! The Teams Here’s the current roster of BB teams. They’re all pretty great in their own ways. Now, GW has made Blood Bowl teams for decades. Made of metal before they were plastic. All kinds of little guys, full of character, in contrast with… The Big Guys Some teams get the “benefit” of Big…
What’s on the Table?!
Plunging into the Null Gravity Abyss! We conquered the approach and Stronghold in Blackstone Fortress.
What’s on the Table?!
Combat Arena: Lair of the Beast Our first try with this iteration. We usually play Gorechosen. We made a bunch of mistakes but still had fun. Next time we’ll fight each other as well as the Ambull.
