Staring into the Abyss – Part 4 : Picking colours and painting demons

I’ve been picking up demonic (or I suppose more appropriately Abyssal) creatures for a while, there’s a number of games I play where I’ve ended up with assorted red skinned or flame-y miniatures. I was even inspired to put together a lava themed table to give my various creatures a home and an interesting place to play games over.

My most recent painting fun before starting the Vanguard campaign were a couple of Reaper Bones demons, the rulers of hell.

Undead vs Abyss

With the Your Club, Your Story initiative running at the Aftermath Club, a lot of players are being introduced to Vanguard at the same time. I’ve played Vanguard on and off since release, as have a few other members of the club (most noticeably Mark who fully backed the Kickstarter and ran demos all day at the Norwich Diceni 2019 event in May) so we started “Our Story” by running a couple of demo nights for everyone taking part.

Staring into the Abyss – Part 2 : Abyss Warband Booster box opening and review

I continue to stare deep into the Abyss, looking for more powerful and varied demons to summon to my cause.

As part of the Your Club, Your Story initiative with Mantic Games, I’ve been carefully taking pictures of everything I’ve been doing! Hopefully this is a useful reference for everything in the Abyssal Warband Booster box.

So opening the box up, given there’s only 3 models in here, there’s a good amount of bubble wrap, so nothing shifts, its really well packed.

Staring into the Abyss – Part 1 : Abyss Warband Set box opening and review

As part of the Your Club, Your Story initiative with Mantic Games, I’ve been carefully taking pictures of everything I’ve been doing! I’ve still managed to miss a few shots, but hopefully this remains a useful reference for everything in the Abyssal Warband Set box. Its a bit oldskool doing this as a blog post rather than a video, I hope you’ll bear with me.

Vanguard: The Aftermath campaign

Exciting news at MyWargame, my wargaming club Aftermath has been chosen by Mantic to be part of the Your Club, Your Story initiative based around their skirmish game Vanguard.

I’m a big fan of Mantic’s Kings of War game and was really interested in the skirmish companion game when it was announced. I picked up the rulebook as soon as it was released and have been playing it on and off at home and at Aftermath, so when the Mantic sponsored opportunity was announced, I got the club’s permission to (enthusiastically) apply.
