I rolled out to the Warhammer Store to play a few games this week (Game Reports Coming Soon!) and both times items I ordered arrived while I was there!
Snarlboss and Wolfgit Retinue
These are the same models as Rippa's Snarlfangs - the Warhammer Underworlds warband. I haven't played for a while, but I haven't entirely written the game off. In the BIG SUMMER PREVIEW last week they announced the new Underworlds core box and that they'll be doing four more boxes of four re-released warbands - one for each Grand Alliance - AND they'll be doing a pack of cards again for all sixteen warbands (for those of us that already HAVE all those warbands!).
As it happens, I have ALL BUT ONE of the warbands being re-released (Rippa's Snarlfangs)! I checked the age of Sigmar section and found they still had the Snarlboss and Wolfgit Retinue - which, itself was a rerelease of the Rippa's Snarlfang models (but without cards) that could be used in a Gloomspite Gitz army. Last year, when they did the same, all of those warbands being re-released were removed from the website, so I ordered this right away and had it shipped to the store (because that's FREE!)
WILL I return to Warhammer Underworlds...? Maybe? If not, I have three really cool goblin wolf-riders I can use in other games!
Dominion of Sigmar: Timeworn Ruins
I did pick up Radukar the Beast a few weeks back (or months!?) and I still haven't assembled him... partly because the model is climbing over a big log with gnarled branches and stuff... and ALL THE OTHER Soulblight Gravelord stuff I have has been based on urban bases of flagstones and rubble... so I though that would be a little out of place... In the end I decided to pick up the Timeworn Ruins set so I could use one of the bits as the thing Radukar is climbing over, and then I'll have a bunch of fast and easy to paint scatter terrain for... whatever...?!
AND THEN... Because I was feeling like I needed a bit more exercise, I rolled out there AGAIN! (it is ~20Km round trip, depending on the route I take...)
Wight King
I picked up a Wight King for Finnegan to use as his character in the Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Soulbound game we are playing with Champions of Death!
I am going to replace the skull and crown with maybe a chaos knights helmet - with some ridiculous horns or something - the concept was the character is covered in armour from head to toe, so you couldn't tell, just form looking at him... from a distance... that it's just a skeleton in that armour...

Nice collection of stuff, you seem to be lazer focused on chaos daemons at the moment!

Well... I was... but I got all those khorne daemons done.. I AM still pretty focused on Age of Sigmar, for the moment, and I'm going to try and ride that wave as long as I can!! thanks!
DeleteThose gits and the wight king are cool!
ReplyDeleteThe Wight king in particular really symbolizes that era of WHFB characters, cheap (for GW), high quality plastic figures that were easy to modify and personalize. I wish they had done more of them (and that they were all still available).
Yeah, it's pretty old. It still comes with a square base! So, it's got to be over eight or nine years ole! Unfortunately, one foot of the wight kind is attached to the square base... So the instructions actually suggest carving off the top of the square base (or carving off the side, however you want to look at it!) and attaching that to the round base that is also provided!?)
DeleteI found a chaos knight helmet that Finnegan liked... it's going to look RIDICULOUS! (but that's kind of the point!!)
