A photo of our dining table with a Warhammer Quest game set up on it. There's lots of cards and dice everywhere, and in middle are a bunch of variously-shaped tiles connected together that look like the inside of a set of buildings. There's four hero miniatures at the right (one huge ogre wielding a giant mace, a nobleman with a sword and ye olde-style pistol, a elven woman with long braided hair aiming a bow, and a old man in a robe carrying a staff and some books) plus four groups of hostile miniatures at various points on the board (two separate groups of three bat swarms, a skeleton warrior holding a bardiche, and a very large Mongolian-dress zombie thing with a huge axe).

A closeup photo of the Kosargi Night Guard (the big Mongolian-dressed zombie with the axe) and three of the bat swarms behind him, with all four of the heroes arrayed around it.

@yayKM and I started a new campaign of Warhammer Quest with the last four heroes this afternoon! @yayKM went with the two heavy hitters and so I took Qulathis the Exile and Octren Glimscry who are are much more fragile but can still deal a reasonable amount of damage. We began with a Scavenge journey in order to start gearing up early, there were a few rough moments and some terrible early rolling, but we actually managed to get all four heroes inspired—which we've never done before—and ended up with some good equipment out of it! Lore-wise the location we started out in was the Ven Alten estate, Ven Alten being the family of one of the heroes @yayKM is playing. And pleasingly, with the rest of the zombies and bats fully painted, we didn't need to resort to ANY unpainted miniatures at all!

A portrait photo of what looks like a larger than normal and extremely furry brown guinea pig (I honestly have on idea what sort of animal it is), looking all majestic and wind-swept and sitting on the hill of what appears to be something like the Scottish highlands. At the top right is the band name, Bataguassu (a municipality located in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul) and at the bottom in very large text is the album name, "Not Giving a Damn".

Ahahaha, I posted this meme thing sixteen years ago today on my LiveJournal (https://blog.virtualwolf.org/album-meme/), I just did it again and all the links still work, and I had far too much fun making an album cover out of it. 😂 -- Instructions: 1 — Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band. 2 — Go to Random Quotations: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php. The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album. 3 — Go to Flickr’s “Explore the last seven days”: https://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/. Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. Put it all together, that’s your first album.

A photo of seven hunched-over rotting zombies. They've got the standard-issue zombie decaying clothes, but all three have part of the lids of the coffins they were in on their backs, which are attached to them by way of stakes driven through the top of the lid and through their chests. They also have tree roots growing through their bodies. The bases are all done up to look like fresh wet mud, which is splattered part-way up their legs so it looks like they've been slogging through it.

A photo of three bases of bat swarms mid-flight, all flying around ruined stone columns. The middle one has clearly visible fangs and is FAR larger than the others.

I'm definitely closing in on the end of my Warhammer Quest project, I've finished the rest of the deadwalkers and the bats! Only thirteen miniatures left to go out of the sixty-odd in the box. Really happy with this second batch of deadwalkers, I didn't do any drybrushing at all except for the robes and instead just highlighted everything manually. It comes out a lot more strikingly.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying down on the very low bottom shelf of a narrow side table. His head is up and he's looking out the narrow window that's next to the front door.

Beanie is spending most of his 11th birthday today keep watching at the front door because @yayKM is in the office.

A photo of a game of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. The board looks like the metal of the inside of an ancient steampunk starship, and the terrain is a bunch of walls all connected together in the same steampunk style to form number of interconnecting rooms. Closest to the camera are my forces, six hulking and putrid Death Guard in large military green amour with all sorts of tentacles and demon faces coming out of the armour. Facing them on the other side are six Ultramarines of broadly the same shape armour, but it's a rich blue and doesn't have tentacles and demon faces in it.

Had a game of Kill Team tonight, my trusty Death Guard versus the Space Marine Intercession squad. I lost 17-14, but it really could have gone either way. I was let down at the very end by the Death Guard's lack of movement, and I can take solace in the fact that I completely wiped the Space Marines off the board. 😛 I think I might FINALLY make use of the female Space Marine-looking heads I bought almost two years ago (https://virtualwolf.org/media/posts/1966) and put together an Intercession squad myself, because that squad is apparently a pretty good one to use to really get used to the rules (I've played a reasonable amount but just CANNOT keep in my head all the ploys and TacOps, I don't know what it is but I just can't do it).

A photo of a plate of mee goreng, with a slice of tomato, lime, and three slices of cucumber next to it.

A photo of a three-section metal tray, the left has a roti canai which is a sort of fluffy balled-up pastry thing and a dollop of sambal sauce, and the other two sections have two different types of curry sauce in them.

A photo of a roti tisu, which is a tall cone-shaped thin and crispy sugar-covered piece of deliciousness, sitting on a plate and dwarfing the scoop of ice cream that's sitting at the base of it.

We went out to Mamak for dinner with one of @yayKM's work friends and it was gooooooood. In other related news, I am VERY full right now.

A screenshot of my Dwarf Barbarian. She has the standard broad shoulders and stockiness that fantasy dwarves typically have, with dark brown skin, brown eyes, and a solid black line of tattoo over her lower lip and down her chin. Her hair is grey/white dreadlocks that are pulled back into a ponytail. Strapped to her back is a two-handed axe that's almost as tall as she is.

I'm still playing my Warlock, but I decided I wanted to start a new character and really just get up close and hit things, so I've made a Dwarf Barbarian. 😁 I cranked the "Maturity" slider up to about half way, so she's a grizzled veteran who has Seen Things.
