Come gather 'round, fighters Wherever you roam And admit that the lethal hexes Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be cut to the bone If your time to you is worth savin' And you better start scurrying' Or you'll be Rocksnake Toxin’d to stone For the times they are a-changin' Come bloggers and podcasters Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For Snirk’s still in spin And there's no tellin' who That he’s splattin' For the loser in game 1 Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin' Welcome all to another update for all things Goblin! In case you’re unaware, I didn’t just quote Bob Dylan to remind you there is a creature capable of singing worse than a Goblin, we’re coming up to another seismic shift in the landscape of Warhammer Underworlds. And, no I don’t mean the very great likelihood that one of the Hedonites is likely to dethrone Gnarl a...

  Hi everyone, and yes, it's been a long time between drinks as they say, but we FINALLY have some new cards to talk about! Yay! As normal this isn't the place to get in-depth, quality (or) insight into how the two warbands that accompany the new cards play, or even what they do. We're here, as good goblins should, to pick out shiny baubles that Gitz would find useful from the refuse.  Broadly, these cards are utility in nature. Which is to say there are few here that will dramatically alter your playstyle and few that are "build around" cards that spawn new deck archetypes. But there are a bunch that not only look interesting on their own, but also start to make some older cards, including some recently added to the Restricted list, look increasingly appealing.  Before I get started, please excuse the random order of the cards. Blogger is a pig to adjust photos on, so apologies, you'll just have to deal with that Spoil me, like you spoil your French Cards Amb...

Hi everyone! I’ve been spending so many activations passing lately, I’m pretty sure I could score Is It Asleep?! But I’m here, and I’m alive, which, in these uncertain times nothing to take for granted.   Apologies for not writing in so long, I’ve been working from home, and for some reason that’s completely sapped my energy to write.   I think missing out to an hour of podcasts to and from work might have contributed to it, as has the distinct lack of content being released, but primarily I think it’s really hard to get opinionated about plastic toys when the world appears to be dissolving around us. Nevertheless, I’m here and I’m writing now, it’s not about the latest FAR list though. I’ll hopefully going to get that later this week. Today I’m going to talk about something I feel is much more important. The tournament rules. We've seen a bit of this lately... It’s mostly physical With most of the world in one form of lockdown or another, it’s been curious to se...

Warhammer Underworlds is a competitive game. GW tell us that at every opportunity; and by-and-large that’s a good thing. Competitive games are good. Tournaments are fun; but it does have the unfortunate effect of creating a winner-takes-all mentality, that can be hurtful to players, and to the game alike.   So, what do we do when the results don’t go as planned?  Managing expectations Spectacularly bad advice There is one glass trophy on offer per tournament (now with fancy Masters code!). We implicitly understand that, if there’s 15 people at the tournament, most of them will be going home in varying shades of disappointment. Disappointment is a crappy emotion at the best of times, but when it is married with a competitive environment, where the W is largely all that matters, it can be hard to get over. We’ll talk about how you can manage the disappointment later, but for now, let’s talk about laying the groundwork to have realistic, helpful expectations...
