No post this week, I've got a nasty cold.

Apropos of nothing, I must protest at the cartoon Goblin Hunter, for a) being deeply effed up, and b) being cruel to poor little goblins, and c) making 'sick goblin' image searches NSFW.

Why you Should Play Zarbag's Gitz, and Why you Shouldn't

Zarbag's Gitz are a unique warband in Warhammer Underworlds. With a wizard, a net wielding cheerleader and a fighter who almost defies description, they have a playstyle all of their own. But it can be something of an acquired taste. Should you throw down for the Gitz? Positioning and Passivity The Gitz are one of the best warbands in terms of being able to score glory without rolling dice. Their high model count, Scurry-based shenanigans, and in faction push cards, make them ideally suited to playing the objective token game. Further, their low wound count means there’s little in the way of incentive to bring fighting upgrades, leaving plenty of room to invest glory boosting ones such as Hero’s Mantle , A Destiny to Meet , Slumbering (and other) Keys , and Katophrane Tomes . All this combined with some recently released objectives ( Calculated Risk, Warning Shot, Shortcut ) which can be easily and immediately scored, mean that few warbands have as reliable a Glory Engine as t...

Introducing Dice Positivity: Why Punishing Dice is Hurting Your Game

Introducing Dice Positivity: Why Punishing Dice is Hurting Your Game Grymwatch Dice...  They're so pretty Dice are complicated little creatures. They have many sides to them* *Six, in fact. Sometimes more. Owning dice is a pleasure. We love dice.  They allow us to play Underworlds, they enrich our lives, and in some cases, the enrich lives of our children or loved ones. We love their crazy antics, the way that they eagerly roll crits when a single support would do.  But owning and rolling dice is also a big responsibility. Dice can sometimes do the wrong thing, and sometimes their behaviour will be very disappointing. It can be hurtful when the behaviour of our dice isn’t nearly as good as that of our opponent, whose defence dice obediently show up crits on demand, and the only time they roll dodges for Shield warbands is when they’ve played Rebound, while your dice are busy getting cocked or falling off the table. In those times, it can be...

Thin Lizzies - A Starblood Stalkers Review

Thin* Lizzies (*One is thicc) Hello! I’m not dead, I’ve just been doing other things* for a while. But I’m back, and this time it’s a bit of a different article.   I promise I’ll get around to doing the backlog of Gitz related Universal Card Reviews, and the boards review from the Direchasm and Beastgrave Boxes (I turn my back on the Arena Mortis ones, with their sinful, non adjacent starting hexes). * Adeptus Titanicus, and Star Wars Legion things mostly, also work when I can’t help it. Today however. I’m going to talk about dinosaurs; how they differ from the mushroom-men I love so dearly; and why they’ve turned my head a little (Okay, a lot, but don’t let Drizgit hear that) The Starblood Stalkers are the (*counts on fingers*) fourth warband for Direchasm, and the first to really pique my interest. Having played a bunch of Magores and Wurmspat, I don’t hate the Ravagers, but they’re a tad generic, and finishing deployment with 3 starting hexes exposed to the elements just feels… ...
