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 →

In the grim darkness of the far future the first line of defence between humanity and annihilation is the army of the Imperium of Man, known formally as the Astra Militarum, or informally as the Imperial Guard. When it comes to a universe packed full of nightmare-fuel xenos races such as the Necrons and Tyranids... 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 →
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 →
Rivals format has quickly become one of the most popular ways to play Warhammer Underworlds, thanks to the fact you can pick up and play with a warband's faction cards (or one of the various universal Rivals decks if you prefer). Even in other formats, the cards we'll cover in this article are vital to... Continue Reading →
Not much is known about the origins of the xenos known as the Tyranids, even their name comes from Tyran, the planet they were first encountered on. Despite this they're widely recognised as one of the largest threats to the life in the galaxy. Even the constant war of the Orks and soulless technology of... Continue Reading →
If you're a fan of Warhammer Underworlds you've most likely heard of Rivals. Unlike the other formats in Warhammer Underworlds, Rivals only uses either a warband's faction cards or a pre-made Universal Rivals deck, making it great fun for new and old players alike. The Rivals decks are also used in Nemesis format (mixed in... 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 →
While we're still getting used to playing with The Gorechosen of Dromm, Games Workshop have just unveiled their next core box, Gnarlwood, over on Warhammer Community. Unlike previous season releases, there weren't may teasers in advance, so this is all new information right now. Here's what we know. As expected, this boxed set features two... Continue Reading →
The Leagues of Votann have crashed back into the eternal colosseum that is the 41st millenium. Space Dwarves, Squats (though maybe don't let them hear you say that) and now Kin - this hardy race have been known under several names throughout the years. Short, stocky and long lived they're considered by the Imperium as... 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 →
