A photo of my painting table with several miniatures in various states of assembly, and two sprues with even more bits still on them, plus an empty glass that had Galliano Ristretto in it.

Current status: alcohol, fiddly plastic bits, and sharp cutting things. What could go wrong?

A photo of a box of five Warhammer 40,000 Astra Militarum Tempestus Scions (futuristic-looking armoured dudes with guns), and two packs of regular guardsmen with a plasma gun and a melts gun in each.

Huzzah, that's the last bits of my Astra Militarum squad! I also bought some teeensy little magnets and am going to try magnetising the arms so I can swap guns.

A photo of six mostly-painted guardsmen from Warhammer 40,000. Their armour is very light blue/grey, three of them are wearing heavy armour and one has a helmet, another is a sergeant with a beret and brandishing a chainsword, two more are holding very large plasma guns, as is one of the heavily-armoured ones. One of the heavily-armoured ones has a beret and a sweet handlebar moustache.

I was batch-painting ten Astra Militarum guardsmen and it was getting a bit tedious and I wasn't feeling like I was making any progress, so I chopped it down to just the six I need for my squad. Feeling much better now, they're coming along excellently!

A photo of six Astra Militarum guardsmen from Warhammer 40,000. Their armour is very light grey bordering on white like they're ready for winter action. They're brandishing a variety of weapons, one is a sergeant holding a chainsword above his head, another has a sweet handlebar moustache.

And we're done!
