A photo of a white non-binary person with black hair and white headphones on, holding a paintbrush and intently looking at the miniature they're painting. They're sitting at my painting table which has a wooden arch with LED strip lighting in the middle, and two levels of storage for my many many paint pots.

And now they asked if they could paint a miniature! I have a ton of primed-but-not-painted miniatures overall but not really that many spare ones as such, but they decided they liked the look of the Tyranid Warriors. I only have three which is exactly what I need for a fireteam in Kill Team, but realistically I’m not going to get around to painting them any time soon, so eh, it's for a good cause.

A photo of a white rectangular casserole dish with tuna mornay in it The top is covered in Panko breadcrumbs that have gone all golden and crispy and it looks amazing. (And it tasted amazing too.)

Awww yissss, made Nagi's tuna mornay with the sixteen year-old and it was GOOOOOOOOD.

I really need to look up how to make white sauce without it taking an eternity though, because jesus christ it was seriously half an hour of non-stop stirring and we ended up cheating and putting corn starch in anyway.

A photo of five people, three men and two women, smiling at the camera, with a number of partially full dishes sitting on the table.

It was lovely to see @[email protected] and @koosli in person again, and to meet @[email protected] for the first time!

Definitely would not recommend Time For Thai near Central though, my dish was extraordinarily bland and @yayKM's was inedibly fishy. 👎🏻

A selfie of me, a white man with an increasingly scruffy beard and brown hair. I'm smiling at the camera while a brown labradoodle is sitting with her butt and back legs on my lap, and a second tan one is mid-movement on my left.

Lovely to catch up with @ausfestivus today! One of his dogs spent most of the visit on me or attempting to get attention from me, including just straight-up using me as a seat.

A photo of ten miniatures from Warhammer Quest: Cursed City. We have three skeleton warriors with flowing red cloaks and battered and rusty looking armour, three bases of swarms of corpse rats all running over each other (some of them have their skulls visible and others have bits of innards visible), three bases of bat swarms (one is a dire bat and is huge and has a bloody mouth), and lastly the pièce de résistance of this group, a feral vampire with pale skin who's crouched on top of a ruined column. He's got a sword held out behind him like he's just sliced something in half, and the blood along the blade lends credence to that theory. His mouth is covered with blood as is the other hand that's on top of the column.

All of the bases are painted to look like they're in wet mud, and the dire bat and vampire both have pools of green swampy water as well.

That's the first batch of hostiles done! This is probably the fastest I've painted things for ages, but they came out looking pretty excellent nonetheless. Especially happy with the gross blood effects on the vampire in particular. 😁

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying upside-down with his legs in the air, on a tan-coloured lounge.

(Extremely David Attenborough voice) And here we have a magnificent example of the very rare lounge upside-down!

A photo of three individual bases of rat swarms all piling over each other, some have no skin on their faces and it's just skull and others have their insides visible. Behind them is another base with two large bats and several smaller bats mid-flight over a ruined stone column.

My first batch of Warhammer Quest miniatures are (mostly) done!

I figured rather than getting utterly overwhelmed at how many miniatures I have to paint, I'd take just the ones, both heroes and hostiles, that I used for the first game I played the other night and get those done first, and then just specifically choose those encounter cards for the first game we play. I'm making excellent use of zenithal highlighting, Contrast paints, and drybrushing to get them done quickly since the hostiles really don't need to be done to crazy quality (the heroes will be done to a higher standard).

The bases aren't done because I'm going to get them finished all at the same time once the rest of the miniatures are painted.

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 fantasy buildings. There's four hero miniatures in bone-white plastic at the bottom, and three groups of plain grey hostile miniatures at various points on the board (three skeletal warriors, three rat swarms, three bat swarms, and a lone vampire with a very long sword).

I broke out a game of Warhammer Quest just by myself tonight to familiarise myself with the rules. I didn't make it all the way through the whole quest, but it's pretty fun and I've definitely got the hang of things now. Excited to play it with @yayKM soon!

(And it'll look even better once the miniatures are all painted.)

A photo of all sixty assembled but unpainted Warhammer Quest miniatures sitting on my painting table. See the previous posts in this thread for individual descriptions.

Man, that really is just a boatload of miniatures when you put them all together.

A photo of a BUNCH of assembled but unpainted miniatures in grey plastic. There are:

- 10 skeleton warriors in decaying armour.
- 10 zombies that are all hunched over and have gravestones and dirt on their backs like they've just risen from their graves.
- 6 individual bases that each have a horde of little rats on them, all running on top of each other in a wave.
- 6 bat swarms.
- 2 skeletons hanging from gallows.
- 2 squat little gargoyle things.
- 2 ravens perched atop ruined columns.
- 2 alarmingly large rats that upon closer inspection are rotting and you can see their rib cages.

And lastly, the horde has been assembled! I'm definitely not going to be getting into the woods with the details on these when I paint them though... I think I'll do my standard zenithal highlight and then some Contrast paints and a bit of a drybrush and call it done.
