Warhammer in all its flavours
We're back for month three of our escalation league, and this time we're at 1000 points.

The classic style of comedy we all knew as children. But we're here to help. The Handful of Dice team have taken an... Continue Reading →
The Imperial Guard may be built on the backbone of countless ranks of infantry, but it's hard to argue that a lot of the glory (and fun) come from the roar of advancing tanks, and the big guns that never tire.

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 →
