Web Highlights from December 2025

Featured this month is a masterful Morgwaeth, titled “Baronesa Utrich” by Andrea (droidena). The whole composition is stellar and to be able to put it together just a few months after a detached retina impaired her vision is remarkable.

While it’s not really ‘community’ content – there is a Warhammer+ episode of Blacktalon where the gang heads into Harrowdeep and meets Calthia Xandire, among others. If you’re a subscriber, don’t miss it!

I also want to call out an awesome development: Agents of Sigmar have developed an iOS app! Download the “Nether Regions Assistant” app on the app store which has a dice odds calculator and also a function to upload json file summaries of the underworlds errata. Here’s the latest one.

Critical Focus Channel has a battle report showcasing Blood of the Bull PP/DS vs Dread Pageant CC/WnR (one of my favorites!). Great use of physical terrain as a backdrop. Unfortunately they misread the inspiration conditions for Blood of the bull which may have affected the outcome of the match, but still a great watch regardless. Also check out this Starblood vs Exiled Dead report with cool lightning effects.

It will be 7 rounds of best of 3 nemesis across two days, 2 hour rounds, which is intense.

March 29th and 29th will feature the Copenhagen Grand Clash in Denmark. It will be formatted to run ten 70-minute rounds of best of one nemesis play – the first 6 rounds determine a top 16 cut, which will be held the second day.

Painting/Hobby

OK, that’s it for Cult of Paint/ Round of applause for everyone! I have nowhere near the talent.

Tremendous conversion and showpiece work for “Wintertooth Wanderers” by Kitbashed Gaming – this centerpiece has Sarrakar Blackwing on top of a mastodon with a frozen magic vibe. Super cool to see!

Sharp and stunning Exiled Dead by Harry Miller with faded cloth, varied skin tones, and crisp highlighting on Regulus’ armor. The basing, while simple, is to die for

Mroz4 never fails to bring home super high quality work, and has the Sons of Velmorn to prove it. Be sure to also check out their jaw-dropping smoothness we love on Horthgorn’s Mantrappers this month.

Really crisp So-Kar by Squimar Miniatures/Emil Nyström

Awesome Mollog’s Mob by Crown and Dagger/Stuart McQuarrie. The Mushrooms have great textures, and I really like the orange creamsicle accents

Crimson Court montage by LongExpress8951 in beautiful deep reds and blacks – I especially enjoy Gorath, but they’re all super good

Wedrall/Ross finished his Blood of the Bull with incredibly smooth white armor – the dude’s a savant. The red cloth really pops with this scheme.

Kurnoth’s Heralds done up like white-tailed deer (with Bambi spots and everything!) and a beautiful photo backdrop by Master-Barracuda-707

Jon Grant has completed Daggok’s Stab-Ladz in a great beige scheme, where they look extra swampy as a result

Gorgeous Crimson Court in the traditional style by Additional-Bad-7829

Kurnoth’s Heralds continue to look awesome all over the place, this time done up in deep blue constellation patterns by Shrimp_Warlock. What an inspired choice! They also completed their Blood of the Bull which has white armor (always an impressive feat) and some great textures all across the model. I dig the Horns of Hashut conversion pieces as well.

Everybody’s favorite gobbo: Pointy Burk by Either_Detail7740

Super vivid green armor on the Wurmspat by Patient-Record2418. Fecula’s robes and the two-tone Retchling are an awesome counterpoint too

Morgok’s Krushas done in a box art scheme by Total-Calendar-422. Yellow is hard to get right, but boy howdy this one is done so well. They also completed the Gnarlspirit pack with great textures.

Gulgoch the Butcher by Palaszenko747272 with some understated and diffuse erythema that ties it all together. My medical senses are tingling

Excellent turquoise Jaws of Itzl with the white Kro-Jax/Kroq-Gar and cute little venomites by Gangorus
