A photo of a two-row pedal board with seven pedals of various sorts on it.

NOW we're cooking with gas.

A photo of the box of a Boss FZ-1W fuzz guitar pedal, and a D'Addario "XPAND2" pedal board, which is a two-row pedal board made of aluminium that can become wider as you get more pedals.

Woooooo!

I'm waiting on just one more thing (at least until Christmas 😅), an Orange FS-1 mini footswitch so I can switch between the clean and dirty channels on the amp without having to lean over and down to actually fiddle with the amp itself.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on his side in a patch of a sun, with his head resting on the base of an office chair (that has someone sitting in it), fast asleep.

It's SUCH a hard life.

A photo of four painted miniatures. They're all elves in various dynamic positions and have cloaks that turn into... not quite smoke at the ends, and the cloaks have been painted this INCREDIBLY deep and rich dark purple colour. They've got some leather clothing that's a deep burgundy colour, their pants are black, armoured parts are silver, and they've all got rich gold clasps holding the cloaks together. The leader lady has a big staff with a bright turquoise crescent moon thing on the top, and she's got a mask on that hides her face that's got gold around it and the same bright turquoise for the faceplate. The bases have been painted in a deep blue then drybrushed with a much lighter blue.

And that's the Shadeborn done! I'm absolutely stoked with these, the colours go so well together and I love the simplicity of the bases, like it's midnight or something.

Kristina got a new job that she's really excited about (in the same company she's already at), which is also a promotion, so went went out to dinner to celebrate and I got a laksa and it was gooood! (It was no Laksa King, but then very little is, and our local Thai place is not even ten minutes drive from us, versus Laksa King that's in the city and so an hour train trip away. 😛)

A photo of four partially painted miniatures. They're all elves in various dynamic positions and have cloaks that turn into... not quite smoke at the ends, and the cloaks have been painted this INCREDIBLY deep and rich dark purple colour.

Games Workshop released new some paints in their Contrast paint line earlier this year, and they've got some new formulations that mean they can do REALLY pigmented paints. I picked some of them up and am using them on the Shadeborn, and oh man, that purple in particular. 😍

A photo of a little rectangular black box that says on the side of it "JHS Pedals" and underneath "Little Black Buffer". There's a single yellow LED on the top of it (the input and output plugs are on the very back and not visible in the photo).

Why yes, it IS more guitar pedal-related stuff! Though technically not an actual pedal this time. Keen to see the difference it makes in sound.

(Update: it makes ABSOLUTELY no difference whatsoever because it turns out all Boss pedals already have built-in buffers to counteract the signal degradation from long chains. 😑)

A photo of the five miniatures that make up the Skittershank's Clawpack warband. They're all rat-men with dark green cloaks and pointy weapons, and look like they're skulking about ready to assassinate someone. The bases of them make them all look like like they're in a sewer.

Got the Skaven warband from the Warhammer Underworlds: Nethermaze core box finished! Very happy with how they came out, and the miniatures are definitely up there in terms of my favourite sculpts. Next up will be the Shadeborn, which are ALSO fucking awesome-looking miniatures.

Today's deliveries are a flanger pedal for my guitar setup (can I call it a "rig" yet?), and a replacement airbrush needle!

I was all excited to get my Kill Team terrain started last week, and I realised that my troubles with the airbrush clogging and spitting and just generally misbehaving were caused by the very tip of the needle being bent. 😞 I'm not sure exactly how I managed to do that, but I'm going to make a point to be a lot more gentle with it from now on.

A photo of a three-player game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's a board game played on boards with hexagonal tiles, at the right are four flowing spirits in a sickly green colour, at the back are seven ghouls with rotten green-looking skin and fresh blood like they've been feeding, and at the right at four lithe and elegant elves. There's also cards laid out in front of each player, and various dice and tokens scattered about.

We had another visit from @[email protected] today. Beanie barked a bit more than he has previously but it'd been a while, and it was more of an "I'm excited" kind of thing and not "Oh god who is this!"

We played our standard game of Warhammer Underworlds, me playing Lady Harrow's Mournflight (the spirits), Kristina playing Myari's Purifiers (the elves) and @[email protected] playing The Grymwatch (the ghouls) for the first time. Despite a shocking start from @[email protected], he staged a hell of a comeback and the final score ended up with me on 11, him on 9, and Kristina on 8.
