[Log] Warhammer Underworlds - Shadespire Overview

The two core Shadespire warbands were undercoated and the first two expansions were desprued.

This log is intended to keep track of my hobby work with the Warhammer Underworlds game system. The Underworlds game system was released in October 2017 with the Shadespire subheading. So far four warbands have been released:

Steelheart's Champions - 3 characters from the core box
Garrek's Reavers - 5 characters from the core box
Sepulchral Guard - 7 characters from expansion
Ironskull's Boyz - 4 characters from expansion

Four additional warbands within the Shadespire setting is expected to be release in 2018:

Spiteclaw's Swarm - 5 characters
The Chosens - ? characters
Farstriders - ? characters
Magore's Fiends - ? characters

The assumption is that the success or failure of Shadespire determines whether there will be new warbands. Many believe these additional warbands will be for a different "underworld."

The Plan

I want to paint the Shadespire miniatures to be on the same pace with the game coming out with new content. So the goal is to complete the four warbands before the Skaven warband is released in early 2018. I have started assembly and preparation of the core box miniatures for painting. Bases were magnetize and the trim of the bases painted in the brown color scheme.

Games Workshop went all out to make it easy for people to get into the game including assembly and painting instruction videos. I will use those painting videos as the basis for painting the miniatures, adjusting when I feel the need to. The plan is to paint the miniatures to resemble the card artwork. 

I plan to paint all the bases of the core box miniatures before working on each model individually. I will work on the Bloodreavers first, emphasizing different skin tones. Once that warband is completely painted, I will work on the Liberators.
