A photo of a game of Warhammer Underworlds. The two warbands being played are Lady Harrow's Mournflight, which are ghostly flowing spirit-looking miniatures, and Morgwaeth's Blade-coven, which are lithe aelves wearing not too much armour.

It was spooky ladies versus murder ladies tonight! Unfortunately the murder ladies are now two losses out of two games played. Partially my fault again, they require a lot more careful play than some of the other warbands, and I screwed up placing the objective tokens. Kristina had some very tricksy plays too though, which screwed me over at a couple of points!

A photo of one of the old early 2000s Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine miniatures that's base-coated black but drybrushed in a gradient in blue-greys up to almost white in a lovely gradient.

I was having a bit of a struggle with my new drybrushes, you can't tell too much from my previous photos of Lady Harrow's Mournflight, but I couldn't get the drybrushing to come out properly all the time, it kept globbing and looking like crap. I decided to carefully watch Artis Opus' tutorial video and do some experimenting and, counterintuitively, it turns out I was actually taking TOO MUCH paint off the brush! Because the new brushes are so big and thick and soft compared to what I'm used to using (an EXTREMELY ratty old Games Workshop drybrush), you actually need to leave more paint on the brush and just really gently flick the end of the brush across the surface. Check out this gorgeous gradient I did tonight, I think I've got the hang of it now!

A photo of the four miniatures of Lady Harrow's Mournflight from Warhammer Underworlds. They're spirits and modelled to look like they're very ephemeral and wispy and flowing. The wispy bits are a sickly green colour with a smooth gradient into white at the edges and raised areas, they have deep purple corsets, and the bases look like a ruined graveyard.

There we go, the spooky ladies are finished!

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on a green blanket sideways on a single-seater lounge. His face is mushed against one arm and his back legs are propped up on the other arm.

I present to you tonight's entry in "How the hell is that comfortable".

A photo looking down a train station platform with a few people scattered along it.

I am currently waiting for a train, to go into the office for the first time in over a year! (I actually have a dental checkup and my dentist is in the city, so it's easier to just do this rather than going all the way to the city and back out. Also, I'm going for laksa with coworkers at lunch, aw yiss).

A photo of a Warhammer Underworlds game board, consisting of hexagonal tiles. There's a number of miniatures on it, on the far side are the Lumineth Realm-lords, all high and mighty-looking aelves, and on the other is Morgwaeth's Blade-coven who are also aelves but wearing significantly less armour and looking much more feral. One of the Coven is a snake from her waist down.

Another game of Warhammer Underworlds tonight! I played my murder-ladies for the first time (Morgwaeth's Blade-coven) and sadly didn't win. I can definitely see the potential though, and there were some very unlucky dice rolls at a few critical points. They're pretty sneaky as befits aelves, keen to play a few more games with them.

A photo of a plate of Southern fried chicken on top of potato gems with slaw on the side.

We took full advantage of the NSW Government's "Dine and Discover" scheme where everyone gets two $25 vouchers for eating out and two $25 for visiting museums or seeing movies or whatever. Aw yiss. Even better it was Schnitty Wednesday at the Bavarian ($10 schnitzels) so two schnitzels plus a cider cost us the princely sum of $7.50.

It was surprisingly busy for a Wednesday night, I wonder how long it's going to take before seeing tons of people in one place doesn't feel weird.

A photo of two wooden boxes with fancy Artis Opus brushes in them. One is a set of four regular brushes, the other is set of four drybrushes.

YES! My first set of properly-fancy brushes. Very excited to take them for a spin.
