Necrothrall does Cursed City

I played through the tutorials then tried my hand at a hunt.  The rules seem a bit confusing at first but after a few turns they become second nature. Its not as complicated as it first seems.

As to how my hunt went,  it was going great until night fell, because f*** me it gets brutal when it gets dark.  Only the witch hunter made it out. So it was a victory albeit a pyrrhic one.

Now on to my next challenge; convincing the wife how to play.

I decided my Cursed City miniatures need a decent storage case and by decent storage case I mean a really useful box. I followed a tutorial on Duncan Rhodes’s YouTube channel.  I’d link to the specific video, but the link function is throwing a massive wobbly when I try and add one on my phone, so I’ll give a run down.

You’ll need a really useful box. Mine is a 4 litre. You’ll also need some steel rubber sheeting, a craft knife, cutting mat, steel ruler and some cheap superglue.

The steel rubber comes in A4, which is a little too small. So you’ll need to cut a second sheet to fit. To do this lay the sheet you want to cut on the bottom flush with one short edges of the box. Next get another sheet and lay it flush with the other end. Use this top sheet as a guide and make two notches on the bottom sheet. Remove the bottom sheet and set it down on your cutting mat, get your steel ruler and put it flush with your notches. Now score along it with your knife until you cut through. Next apply superglue to your box and stick your sheets down.  Leave your box to dry for at least 24 hours with the lid off. This is to stop the inside of the box “frosting”.  Also don’t put your minis into the box while it’s curing otherwise they’ll go frosty.

Next came magnetising the minis. It was a simple as fixing them to the underside of the bases with superglue.  The bigger bases were too deep for my magnets, so I bulked them out with some greenstuff.

I had to annex the dining table for this next stage.  I made a mix of water, pva glue and isopropanol and applied it to the bases. I also noticed there were some bases where I could still see the slotta groove, so I covered that with a bit of the basing material while everything was still wet.

I picked up a bag of arid earth basing mix from Geek Gaming Scenics. I think it blends in pretty well with my easter egg box flagstones.  One of the ingredients is tile grout, which helps cement the bigger stones in place. Downside is its dusty as ****.  So I’m going to have to brush it off the rims before I seal them.

The big bad himself.  This guy is so imposing he’d give Buffy a run for her money. He was a lot of fun to paint. I tried to keep similar themes that I’ve been running with, like the green. Like Darrock he turned out the way I wanted him to.

This guy is the reason I bought this box. I love the warhammer fantasy witch hunter aesthetic, I even cosplayed as one many moons ago. I really took my time with Darrock, and he came out exactly the way I wanted him to.

I did these mostly in contrast.  I don’t use it much other than for staining metals, so I just wanted to play with it. I think they’ve turned out alright. Due to their colours they have been named Snot and Turd.
