A photo of a game of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team played on two regular boards. The terrain is a bunch of steampunk-looking walls and the boards have artwork on them that looks like the inside of an ancient rusty starship. At the bottom left are my miniatures, nine lithe space elves in fucshia armour and turquoise cloaks. At the top are fourteen just human troopers, and at the bottom left are fourteen essentially also human troopers but all corrupted and evil.

Three player Kill Team today! ...it did not go well for me and wasn't even close. We only got through two turns and I only scored one single victory point right at the end of the second turn. I killed stuff, but my initial positioning was poor and tried to do too much at once, especially since I had only nine miniatures compared to the fourteen of the other two teams. By the end of the second turn I was down to only three miniatures left, the friend in second was down to I think four, and the friend in first still had ten out of his fourteen starting.

A photo of ten miniatures standing in front of what looks like the inside of an industrial-looking starship. They're essentially space elf pirates, all their armour is elegant and flowing and a rich burgundy colour, and they have cool turquoise capes. They're branding various ranged and close-combat weapons, and several of them have brightly-coloured mohawks.

A photo of ten Astra Militarum Tempestus Scions (basically regular humans with guns in armour). The leader is in the middle and standing on a piece of industrial machinery aiming a plasma pistol and has her black cape billowing out dramatically behind her. They others are all wearing big blue-grey armour and are wielding various guns, they've all got black or brown skin, and they all look extra bad-ass because they're wearing red berets and a couple of them have sunglasses on. The bases are done so they all look like they're standing in snow.

I had entirely too much fun setting up a proper group shot for my Voidscarred and Scions today.

A photo of a fully set up game board of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. The terrain is all very ramshackle and looks like it's straight from a junkyard.

We had a four-player game of Kill Team today! Turns out I'm pretty shit at playing my team (Imperial Guard) and I barely did anything and got mostly shot off the board. I came third and that was because the fourth guy was having fun just blowing shit up and wasn't actually playing objectives, heh. Though in retrospect, I don't think the terrain was really set up very well, there was a lack of heavy cover around the deployment zones which meant I had to be bunched up and in conceal to avoid being murdered on the first turn.

A photo of a game of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. The board looks like the metal of an inside of a ancient steampunk starship, and the terrain is a bunch of walls all connected together in the same steampunk style. On one side are ten heavily-armoured human warriors in light blue/grey armour, and on the other are VERY LARGE Space Marines in orange armour.

First game of Kill Team: Into The Dark! Heavy Intercessors vs. Astra Militarum Scions. Really enjoying this format, it was a hell of a close game, sadly I lost 6-7, mostly due to a couple of mistakes on my part.

A photo of a Warhammer 40,000 miniature wielding a plasma pistol and sword and standing in a very heroic pose. She's got a military cap on and her black stormcloak is billowing out behind her, and the base is a bunch of snow around a stone base that has a piece of gun-metal grey industrial equipment on it.

A photo of the full squad of Astra Militarum Tempestus Scions. In addition to the leader in the previous photos, there's another nine, they're all wearing big blue-grey armour and are wielding various guns, they've all got black or brown skin, and they all look extra bad-ass because they're wearing red berets and a couple of them have sunglasses on. The bases are done so they all look like they're standing in snow.

The entire Scion squad is finally done! 🎉 Absolutely stoked at how good they look, the base on the leader especially.

A photo of a mostly-painted Warhammer 40,000 miniature wielding a plasma pistol and sword and standing in a very heroic pose. She's got a military cap on and her black stormcloak is billowing out behind her.

We had another "refresh day" at work today, so I naturally I did more miniature painting. Extremely happy with how the leader for my Scions is coming along, she's very nearly done. Just need to do the plasma glow effect on the gun and put the snow around the base and then it's finished!

A photo of nine Warhammer 40,000 miniatures, they're fully-painted heavily armoured women troopers in very pale blue/grey armour wielding various guns. The four at the back have black skin and the new five have brown skin. Their bases are painted up to look like they're standing on snow, and there's wintery grass tufts on the bases too.

The unpainted leader in the middle is standing with one leg up on a piece of machinery, with her cloak billowing out behind her and pointing a plasma pistol in an imposing fashion.

That's my Scions done! The new ones are the five in the front, the back four painted ones are the ones I finished back in June. I just need to paint my leader in the middle there, and my Kill Team squad will be fully complete!

A photo of five mostly-painted armoured troops. They've got light blue/grey armour and are all holding futuristic-looking guns. Their faces are brown with nice highlighting and I managed to do the eyes including the pupils.

Man, this is definitely getting to the slow part. Finally getting around to finishing the last five Astra Militarum Scions from my converted all-women squad, and it took me two hours just to do the eyes and faces.

A photo of four Warhammer 40,000 miniatures. They're all regular human troops with big armour and various guns, but the stock male heads have been replaced with third-party female ones from a company called Statuesque Miniatures. The skin colour is very dark but with really nice subtle shading, and the one I called out with the goggles has them pulled up on her forehead. The goggles have a really nice shade going from very dark green down to a lighter green so it looks like they're some sort of futuristic night vision or something.

It took far too long, but the first four Scions of my converted all-women Kill Team squad are done! Absolutely stoked with how well they came out, in particular the faces as well as the goggles on the one second from the left. There was absolutely no drybrushing on these at all, but given how much time drybrushing saves and the fact that I've got another nine of these to paint, I'm definitely going back to drybrushing for the larger areas because I want to actually get the rest of these finished some time in the next five years. 😛

A photo of four miniatures from Warhammer 40,000, they're heavily-armoured human warriors wielding various guns, but the stock male heads have been replaced with a third-party set of female ones from a company called Statuesque Miniatures. The skin tones on all four are Black and they look wonderful.

Progress has been slow, but I finished the faces of the next four of my squad of Scions tonight and I am pretty damned happy with how good they look!
