Warhammer in all its flavours
I recently picked up the Warhammer Underworlds: Gnarlwood box and have been slowly working my way through the Sons of Velmorn. So far people have seemed to love the bright scheme I came up with for them, so I decided to document the scheme as a guide, so you can try something similar on some... Continue Reading →

Well, that was bigger than expected. The Grand Narrative Preview came and went at 4am for those of us in the UK, and at the Handful of Dice offices we've been picking over the reviews since. We have opinions, which is of course the reason you're all here, so let's get under way. World Eaters... Continue Reading →
Right, let's start off like all good reviews should - by pointing out that the author is probably significantly biased towards enjoying this book. Way back when I was just a teenager and first discovered Warhammer it was the Catachan Jungle Fighters that drew me into the game. While we do our best to ignore... Continue Reading →

We're back with our irregular series where Ben and I explore miniatures games beyond the bounds of our usual Games Workshop IPs to see what cool things are out there. Now, I wanted to do a spooky game for October, but we kind of already did that, so instead we played a game that my... Continue Reading →
Horus Rising is the first book in the expansive Horus Heresy series, which covers the events of the Great Crusade and the corruption of Warmaster Horus during the Horus Heresy, some ten thousand standard years before the usual Warhammer setting of the 41st Millenium. The novels in this series are written by many well known... Continue Reading →
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...

For a little while now Games Workshop have been offering a free miniature in store, as part of their Miniature of the Month promotion. As October is the spookiest month of the year, we saw the re-release of Cursed City, as well as a free miniature from the box. As is now becoming a regular... Continue Reading →
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 →
For a little while now Games Workshop have been offering a free miniature in store, as part of their Miniature of the Month promotion. This month they've upped their game though, and going forward not only will they be giving out a free mini, but it will be a brand new model from one of... 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 →
Warhammer Underworlds is one of Games Workshop's smaller game systems, but has consistently delivered some of the best model sculpts that the Mortal Realms have to offer. On top of that, the game's small model-count warbands mean there plenty of freedom to be creative. We've already featured some brilliant painters in both super colourful styles... Continue Reading →
Warhammer Underworlds may be one of Games Workshop's smaller game systems, but it's one which has a lot of depth thanks to the ever-changing warbands, cards and mechanics. If you're anything like us, you'll enjoy reading up on people's thoughts and experiences with the game, but it can sometimes be hard to find such sites... Continue Reading →
Metallic paints are great, but often using them on their own can feel a little bit flat. I wanted to share a new for painting gold which is super easy, but gives you a really cool aged/dirtied effect with a lot of contrast. This sort of thing is flexible enough that it would work well...
