I started playing Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire at the end of 2018. I really enjoyed it and for a few months we played pretty regular. Around that time I bought the Warhammer Underworlds: Nightvault set because it had an awesome Nighthaunt faction that I had to have. The Thorns of the Briar Queen is a great set of miniatures and I was really excited to try then in WU and AoS. But then the wheels fell off the Shadespire gaming and I had lots o stuff in the works for the Nighthaunts. I started painting them last year but as so often happens with me I failed to finish them and they went into a project box. The Great Lock-Down has got me pulling out lots of old projects and getting me to finish them up. I am really happy to finally have these in the painted collection and ready for action...someday.
