Underworlds: Thundrik’s Profiteers

Back to hobby popcorn, Underworlds warbands. This time, it’s one from the Nightvault cycle, Thundrik’s Profiteers.

Bjorgen Thundrik

I have a few Kharadron Overlords models from my brief foray into Age of Sigmar. Maybe I’ll use them together sometime, so I followed that scheme pretty closely.

Dead-eye Lund

I’m not quite sure I like guns in fantasy settings. But mecha’d up dwarves are hard to say no to.

Enrik Ironhail

The best part is the beard armor.

Garodd Alensen

Hey look, some gems!

Khazgan Drakkskewer

I guess a flight stand might be too much to ask for in Underworlds. Anchor it is.

Underworlds: Eyes of the Nine

The Eyes of the Nine is a warband of Tzeentch, a flavor of demonhood I haven’t had much experience with. They’re more strange than monstrous. As usual, Underworlds gives a nice tour of the faction.

Vortemis the All-seeing

Vortemis has just one wing, which seems less than entirely useful. Still, it gave a chance to play a bit with blending.

K’charik

The armor is the same color as I used on my Blitz Bowl dwarves. I tried to repeat the blending, but wasn’t fully successful.

Every daemonic force needs some humans to help out now and again.

Ahh, fire, my ancient nemesis.

Underworlds: Mollog’s Mob

Back to Underworlds. This time, Mollog’s Mob, featuring one large troll and three little friends.

Mollog the Mighty

Mollog the Mighty is the biggest Underworlds model I’ve run into so far. He’s got a serious fungus problem.

Spiteshroom

Like most of the Underworlds warbands, I focused on using Contrast paints, with others (mostly Reaper) to highlight or for colors I don’t have.

Bat Squig

The three squigs are such silly little creatures. Why have a clear flight stand when you can have a stalagmite come up to meet you?

Stalagsquig

The Stalagsquig is the strangest. Is it living rock? Pure fungus? Who knows?

Underworlds: Godsworn Hunt

The Godsworn Hunt is the first Underworlds warband I’ve painted that’s mostly just humans. Maybe extra fighty and somewhat magic humans, but no body spikes or snake hybrids.

Theddra

They still have rad hair, though.

Grundann Blood-Eye

I tried brushing on colorshift paint for some of the metallics, like Grundann’s skull shoulder pad. It’s not as strong at shifting as when airbrushed, but I like it as a subtle effect.

Jagathra

The dirt is a muted purple, which contrasts against the greenery nicely without being too cartoonish.

Ollo

Here again is the colorshift, this time on the blade on the shoulder pad.

Shond Head-Claimer

That sword just look uncomfortable to carry around when not in battle.

Grawl

The best warbands have a little critter to help out.
