I'm a big fan of Warhammer Underworlds and an even bigger fan of my wife. I've started dabbling in Gunpla, historical games, and trying to find more time for board games. I also write about Underworlds for @Goonhammer.bsky.social he/him

Khorne has a new batch of weirdos in #WarhammerUnderworlds. Check out my review of Kamandora’s Blades! I even painted them this time! www.goonhammer.com/goonhammer-r... #Warhammer #Underworlds #Khorne

Day 13 of sharing cool #WarhammerUnderworlds warbands that I own but didn't paint. It's been a while! This gorgeous rendition of Zondara's Gravebreakers by Dave Szymanik (@bourbonbrush on IG). Freehand, textures, and colors all stand out as being phenomenal here. #WarhammerCommunity #Underworlds

Finished building my first #gunpla yesterday -- an Entry Grade RX-93. It was a fun experience. I'm having some issues with the shield arm falling out of its socket when I try to pose it, though. Not sure if that's usual or a fluke. For people who paint these, do you do it before or after assembly?

I made a book nook for my lovely wife thanks to seeing a cool guide over on Goonhammer: www.goonhammer.com/hobby-heresy... I ran into a lot of setbacks during the process, but it was pretty fun overall!

Day 12 of sharing cool #WarhammerUnderworlds warbands that I own but didn't paint. The Dread Pageant are the last of my @keewa.bsky.social warbands (for now!). Despite their rules being unimpressive, I look forward to jamming games with these 3 mortals and the daemon cow. #WarhammerCommunity

Day 11 of sharing cool #WarhammerUnderworlds warbands that I own but didn't paint. One of the latest additions to my collection (what a supervillain thing to say) is Ephilim's Pandaemonium, painted again by @keewa.bsky.social. What a lovely bunch of weirdos. #WarhammerCommunity

Day 10 of sharing cool #WarhammerUnderworlds warbands that I own but didn't paint. I wish I had an attribution for these Chosen Axes, but I don't know who painted them. I received it as part of a huge lot of ~30 warbands I (impulsively) bought on eBay about a year ago. #WarhammerCommunity

Day 9 of sharing cool #WarhammerUnderworlds warbands that I own but didn't paint. Ever since I saw the Realm of Chaos WHFB book in the 90s, I thought Chaos Warriors looked cool. @keewa.bsky.social brought these Kaghra's Ravagers to a similarly radical state with his paint job. #WarhammerCommunity

Day 8 of sharing cool #WarhammerUnderworlds warbands that I own but didn't paint. The Thricefold Discord are that rare combination of sweet models, interesting lore, and solid rules in the game. @keewa.bsky.social made sure the paint job quality matches the rest. #WarhammerCommunity

Putting together my first #gunpla and it's so satisfying how well these pieces fit together without any glue, how there is barely any evidence of the sprue gates on the parts, and that multiple colors of plastic are on one sprue frame. And this is just a $10ish Entry Grade! 👀

Day 7 of sharing cool #WarhammerUnderworlds warbands that I own but didn't paint. Another @keewa.bsky.social special 🔥, this version of Kainan's Reapers is based on the color scheme GW used to showcase the Spearhead when teasing 4th edition AoS. Ivory Host, I think? #WarhammerCommunity

Day 6 of sharing cool #WarhammerUnderworlds warbands that I own but didn't paint. Hexbane's Hunters featuring some rad cross-midel OSL and a punchy red evoking the feel of some of the old Empire models from decades ago. @keewa.bsky.social once again knocked it out of the park. #warhammercommunity

Day 5 of sharing cool #WarhammerUnderworlds warbands that I own but didn't paint. I wanted some brighter colored ghosts than the default scheme, and @keewa.bsky.social did exactly that with Lady Harrow's Mournflight. These really pop when on the game board. #warhammercommunity

Day 4 of sharing cool #WarhammerUnderworlds warbands that I own but didn't paint. The Crimson Court was the first warband I had commissioned (again by the talented @keewa.bsky.social). I've played with them in 41 games according to my tracker and loved seeing them in every single one.

Day 3 of sharing cool #WarhammerUnderworlds warbands that I own but didn't paint. Another striking paint job by @keewa.bsky.social. I'm quite fond of this alternative color scheme for the Gorechosen of Dromm. I find them to be gore-geous. :) #WarhammerCommunity

Day 2 of sharing cool #WarhammerUnderworlds warbands I own but didn't paint. Cyreni's Razors were painted by Underworlds Discord regular, Tyreal. This warband (the squid, Cephanyr, in particular) is the entire reason I looked into this game and have become so attached to it. #WarhammerCommunity

Day 1 of sharing cool #WarhammerUnderworlds warbands I own but haven't painted. I have commissioned 10 warbands from @keewa.bsky.social at this point and this is one of the latest. Ylthari's Guardians painted as the four seasons. I love how the spectral color ties them together.

I had to change up what sleeves I was using for Underworlds since (a) the sky blue ones I was using were discontinued and (b) power cards aren't even blue anymore, so I decided to try out the custom Dragon Shield option. I put some card backs together and made an order. I think they turned out okay.

I've been peer pressured into trying out SAGA, so I picked up some Rus Infantry and Vikings from Victrix. They come in bags! It's kind of refreshing. The shield transfers look so good, too. Now to just read the rules and figure out how to build/equip these... #saga #historicalwargaming

Incredibly hyped for it. I'm already planning to play multiple games on Saturday and stop by my LGS on Sunday for demos. Can't wait to bust out some of these gorgeous warbands @keewa.bsky.social painted.

Working on a model for a good friend's birthday present. I haven't painted since NOVA so this will be good to shake the rust off. Can't say I love working with finecast but it's bearable. So far.
