The Unstable Dice

The Gloomspite Gitz Invasion - Fanatic #1

2020-01-27T13:00:00.000-06:00

A little something different for this week. Until I jump into the new kit, I am simply referring to these guys as fanatics. Of the three models in the original plastic kit, this is pose I liked the most out of them. I anticipate for the next one, I will be painting up the fanatic that came with Zorbag's Gitz.

The next grot has joined the invasion. This little fellow is from the boxset and was a bit of an experiment in changing up a couple colors from the other two models. Don't feel the robes came out as good, but I do like the red on the model.

2020-01-13T13:00:00.000-06:00

Another grot joins the invasion. I am really liking the models from Zarbag's Gitz from Warhammer Underworlds.

2020-01-06T13:00:00.000-06:00

The Gloomspite Gitz Invasion has begun on the Unstable Dice. We will be talking more about the invasion in a future episode of the podcast, but the goal starting today is to post a new model each week until the end of 2019. A lofty goal for me, but one I hope is achievable this year.

It is time upgrade to a hammer, strap on a shield, and pull up your pants. 2nd Edition Age of Sigmar has arrived! In this week's episode, we kick things off with discussing the results of the 6 Nations tournament. We breakdown some of the biggest surprises coming out of how players were using 2nd edition at the event. We have a good laugh over 64 damage grots and ponder whether Seraphon summoning is such a horrible thing. Most importantly, we remind ourselves and everyone that GW will fix the problems in a timely fashion.

In the second segment of the show, we review the Myrmourn Banshee warscroll. We talk about why the new unit is great and a couple tricks we would use with them. Chuck also works the math to see how many I can fit into a 1000 point army and still be legal.

The show ends with America's favorite segment of the show, Five Questions. This week's list is a mixture of looking back, planning for the future, and figuring out why Nagash has such poor management skills.
