Warhammer in all its flavours
The Gorechosen of Dromm are the first warband for a long time that I've tried to paint resembling Games Workshops recommended colour scheme, but while I used the box art as inspiration my final result is a little different. I wanted to have a much brighter, higher contrast finish for my models while staying true... Continue Reading →
The Handful of Dice team have a problem. We don't actually play a lot of Warhammer... We play a fair amount of Underworlds and the occasional online game, but with a team spread out along the south coast and around London we don't get to play a lot of physical games of Age of Sigmar...

While we mostly cover miniatures games here at HandfulOfDice we sometimes branch out and cover something a little different if it's grabbed our attention. There's increasingly overlap in the world of card games and miniatures games, with Warhammer Underworlds being, I contend, a card game with miniatures, and the recent release of a set of...

With the release of Harrowdeep Games Workshop established a new release schedule for Warhammer Underworlds that means we get 2 "Core box" releases a year, separated by 2 individual warband releases. Each set of core box and further two warbands is referred to as a "season", meaning we get two seasons a year, at least... Continue Reading →
Dr Dromm: Ah, good evening Mr Gorehulk it's been a while since we've seen each other how is your rage?The Gorehulk: HULK SMASH! Dr Drom: I see, not much improvement then. Herax, you were keeping people at a distance last we spoke? How are your relationships. *Distant mumbling* Dr Drom: Ah I see Herax, you... Continue Reading →

Well I always knew making a Farstriders deck for Nevermaze was going to be a process of ups and downs, but that has never been more pronounced than my testing this month. If you haven't seen the previous posts in this series and what to know how I got to this point, and just how... Continue Reading →
You may have seen recently the start of my deckbuilding adventure with Sanson's Farstriders, if not go check out part one of this series here. Sanson's Farstriders were one of the first warbands I played, and while they've often struggled to be competitive I've always found them to be an interesting strategic challenge. Essentially their...

Battletome Skaventide is just around the corner and it's bought with it a new Vanguard box to replace the old Start Collecting offering. It's due to be closely followed by the Daughters of Khaine and the Nighthaunt, coinciding with their new tomes. The Vanguard and Start collecting boxes are great ways to start an Age...

I've had a long love affair with The Farstriders, since I started playing Warhammer Underworlds in season 2. They've always held a unique place in the game as one of only 2 predominantly ranged warbands, with simple mechanics (no reactions or special rules), and a small model count. Farstriders through the ages When they were... Continue Reading →
If you've read our article on Underworlds formats you'll know all you need to know the 3 main ways to play, but recently a new "unofficial" format has emerged. That format is Rivals+ and it's having a huge impact on how I, and many others play Warhammer Underworlds. Rivals+ is a little different from all... Continue Reading →
