A photo of four of the six pieces of the "Primal Lair" terrain set. They're all set on what look like basalt columns (those hexagonal stone formations you see in places). One has a huge horned skull resting on it, another has a horned skull and also the backbone and several ribs of what was an ENORMOUS creature, the third has big yellow crystals coming out of the middle, and the last is a pool of sickly green liquid inside the stone columns.

Games Workshop's Contrast paints and my new big drybrushes certainly reduce the time it takes to do these terrain pieces for Warhammer Underworlds! (Miniature is there for scale).

A photo looking into our backyard at dusk. The sun has set but the sky isn't fully dark, there's a separate room structure that's facing towards the camera with its internal lights on, and the light is spilling out onto the lawn, looking all warm and cozy next to the coolness of the rest of the photo.

Cozy.

A photo of bougatsa (a Greek dessert consisting of custard inside filo pastry) on a plate with icecream and a sliced strawberry. It's been drizzled with what I think was honey.

Dinner was magnificently excellent as always. No photo of the moussaka, both because I was hungry and got stuck into it immediately, but also because it's not very photogenic. I actually had room for dessert for once, though, and had bougatsa for the first time. Hot DAMN is it nice!

A photo looking out over our house from the front driveway, the clouds are all orange and pinky.

That was some hell of sunset this evening!

A photo of a bunch of boxes of Games Workshop miniatures: for Warhammer Underworlds, two warbands (Hrothgorn's Mantrappers and the Crimson Court) and the "Primal Lair" terrain pieces from Beastgrave, and for Warhammer 40,000, Adeptus Mechanicus (two boxes of Skitarii and one box of Sicarians).

Birthday haul! This should keep me going for a while. And I'm getting another three Warhammer Underworlds warbands from my parents when we see them weekend after next. 😅

A photo of the back of the three partially-painted miniatures from the Ironsoul's Condemnors warband from Warhammer Underworlds. They're heavily armoured with gold armour, and have long flowing robes in dark navy blue. The raised edges of the robes are highlighted in a wonderfully smooth fashion up to a light blue, almost like they've been airbrushed.

I think I've got the hang of this drybrushing business now. 👌🏻

A photo of our front garden in front of the house. Lots of plants in pots in a red mulched area in front of a big bay window, and the lawn is all neat and tidy.

What a glorious morning for a spot of gardening.

A photo of a game of Warhammer Underworlds. The two warbands being played are Lady Harrow's Mournflight, which are ghostly flowing spirit-looking miniatures, and Morgwaeth's Blade-coven, which are lithe aelves wearing not too much armour.

It was spooky ladies versus murder ladies tonight! Unfortunately the murder ladies are now two losses out of two games played. Partially my fault again, they require a lot more careful play than some of the other warbands, and I screwed up placing the objective tokens. Kristina had some very tricksy plays too though, which screwed me over at a couple of points!

A photo of one of the old early 2000s Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine miniatures that's base-coated black but drybrushed in a gradient in blue-greys up to almost white in a lovely gradient.

I was having a bit of a struggle with my new drybrushes, you can't tell too much from my previous photos of Lady Harrow's Mournflight, but I couldn't get the drybrushing to come out properly all the time, it kept globbing and looking like crap. I decided to carefully watch Artis Opus' tutorial video and do some experimenting and, counterintuitively, it turns out I was actually taking TOO MUCH paint off the brush! Because the new brushes are so big and thick and soft compared to what I'm used to using (an EXTREMELY ratty old Games Workshop drybrush), you actually need to leave more paint on the brush and just really gently flick the end of the brush across the surface. Check out this gorgeous gradient I did tonight, I think I've got the hang of it now!

A photo of the four miniatures of Lady Harrow's Mournflight from Warhammer Underworlds. They're spirits and modelled to look like they're very ephemeral and wispy and flowing. The wispy bits are a sickly green colour with a smooth gradient into white at the edges and raised areas, they have deep purple corsets, and the bases look like a ruined graveyard.

There we go, the spooky ladies are finished!
