A photo of a Warhammer 40,000 miniature, he's wearing dark green armour and is holding a shotgun in one hand and has a big knife in the other, with the pose implying he's about to use it. He's wearing industrial-looking goggles and looks mostly human except his skin is a very light purple and his skull is just... slightly too big. The base of the miniature looks like it's completely muddy and there's lots of dark green and brown grasses growing, and the mud is splattered up his legs.

Just finished the test miniature for my colour scheme for the Genestealer Cults squad for Kill Team I have. Pretty happy with how it came out, the usual thing with the GSC is that they're all wearing industrial gear so I wanted to do something different and so made it look like they're wading through a swamp instead. There's also a pool of gross-looking green swampy water at his feet but you can't really see it at this angle due to the grass. I'll have to make a point of not covering that up so much next time, oops.

A photo of the game board of a Warhammer Underworlds game. The artwork on it looks like a bunch of gnarled roots and it's covered in hexagons that indicate distances. Closest to the camera are Grashrak's Despoilers, six beastmen wielding very crude-looking weapons and wearing not a huge amount of armour. Facing them are Khagra's Ravagers, four very heavily-armed- and -armoured human warriors.

And tonight's Wednesday night gaming was Warhammer Underworlds! Khagra's Ravagers versus Grashrak's Despoilers. The Despoilers were mine, made with the new Nemesis format, and while I won 12-8, I don't think the Tooth and Claw deck is the right one for them, they're a bit too fragile to be wading into combat.

A photo of a bunch of steampunk-looking terrain on a game board, it's all walls and put together to look like the interior of a cramped gothic spaceship. There's miniatures in it, vile Plague Marines and Poxwalkers approaching through the corridors from the left, facing off again several female warriors in light blue/grey armour and wielding various guns.

A close-up shot looking down one of the corridors, you can really see all the pipes and machinery and everything in the walls. One of the Plague Marines is facing a woman in a military cap who's about to blast the Marine with a plasma pistol.

Another even closer-upper shot, taken from the point of view of one of the miniatures. A different female warrior in armour is pointing her gun through a hatchway at a Poxwalker, which is a gross pustle-covered zombie thing.

Remember the absurd amount of terrain I put together from the Kill Team: Into The Dark box? FINALLY got it finished today!

I realised I was massively overthinking it and that I didn't actually need to do remotely as much detail as I thought. I primed in black, did a low airbrushed zenithal highlight of this wonderful dark blue metallic colour, then a higher one of copper, airbrushed white for the lights, then picked out a few details in red, and it looks fantastic on the tabletop.

A photo of a narrow raised garden bed alongside a fence. The garden bed is covered in fresh red mulch and there's a metre-long black grate in it that the drainpipe that comes down from the pergola drains into.

Got a bit more of the garden bed done this afternoon, including a drain grate thing (it's not wonky, it's just angled slightly downwards). Previously the rain that fell on the pergola came down the drainpipe and dispersed through the dirt, which ended up just dribbling out from between the wood and causing a big puddle over the back-right of the bricks. I expect the water will still come through the wood but hopefully it's far enough to the left that the water will just flow down onto the grass now. 🤞🏻

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on his side on the bottom shelf of a narrow side table. His head is propped up in a very uncomfortable-looking position against the back leg of the table.

Today's Beanie position.

A photo of a narrow raised garden bed alongside a fence, there's two palm-type trees in it, a fair few grassy weeds, and the red mulch coverage is fairly patchy and it looks very dull.

A wider-angle shot of the same bit of garden bed but showing more of it to the left. There's no weeds at all now and the mulch is fresh and red.

Phew, that was a productive afternoon. Pulled up all the weeds and dead mulch in half of our side garden, plus pruned a bunch of the dead fronds from the palm trees, then put weed mat down and fresh mulch. The other half will have to wait for another day because a) I'm out of steam, b) there's way more weeds than the half I did, and c) the garbage bin is full.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on his side on a green blanket with his head propped up against part of it, giving some serious side-eye.

Beanie's in a kind of awkward snoozing position and is apparently very dubious about me taking his photo.

First game of Warhammer Underworlds with the new Gnarlwood rules, Ironsoul's Condemnors vs. the Shadeborn!

I used Battle Mallet's suggested Nemesis deck for the Condemnors because it turned out the one I had put together a while back sucked, and it was very fun, but ended up very one-sided, oops. It was partially due to some lucky rolling on my part, but we called it half-way through the second turn out of three total because I'd wiped out @yayKM's warband entirely and the score was already 9-5. Fighter of the match goes to Brodus Blightblade who single-handedly killed two of the four enemy warriors outright (the first one in the first activation of turn one) and did two out of three damage to a third one that allowed me to ping that third one for an extra one damage to kill him.

I really like the new rule changes for activations specifically, and the Nemesis format is great.

A photo of a dinner plate with a bunch of thick-cut fries covered in chilli (made with chicken mince rather than beef), with a sprinkling of shredded cheese on top and a dollop of sour cream alongside.

Yessss, @yayKM made chilli fries for dinner tonight and they were gooooood. #adulting
