A photo of a game of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. It's on a gaming board with a bunch of junkyard-looking terrain, and on my side of the board are six green Death Guard Space Marines looking all gross and mutated.

In news that will shock nobody, the only reason I was in the office today was for after-work Kill Team. 😛 Sadly didn't win this time, it was obvious how it was going to turn out by the end of the third round so we called it.

A photo of a Warhammer 40,000 game board, with painted miniatures and shamefully unpainted terrain that looks like a junkyard on it. (...the terrain itself looks like a junkyard, the fact that it's shamefully unpainted is unrelated to this.)

Tonight's game of Kill Team went very differently from the first one a few weeks ago! I ended up absolutely thrashing the friend I was playing against, 8 victory points to 3, and we didn't end up playing the fourth turn because he was down to one single unit at the end of the third. Though he kindly pointed out after the game that my deployment was very bad and he held back a bit from just totally destroying my troops on the first turn so it wouldn't be a lopsided game. 😅

We actually finished the game! 😮 I lost, partially because we weren't playing with the extra bits to allow for more victory points to simplify things, but also because there was so much to keep track of I kept forgetting about various abilities. Still, keen for the next game!

A photo of a Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team board with home-made desert and ramshackle junkyard-style terrain on it.

A photo of nine six-sided dice, three of them are sixes, two are fives, and there's two twos and two threes.

We played another (partial) game of Kill Team tonight! And for the first time EVER, everything was fully painted. 😮 We only got a turn and a half in thanks to us taking a while to set everything up, but we're definitely getting the hang of it. I was playing Death Guard, and they have a rule called "Disgustingly Resilient" where if they would lose a wound, you roll a D6 and on a roll of 5+ the wound is not lost. It doesn't matter how many wounds, just ANY wound. One of them was attacked and was going to be dealt 9 wounds (out of a total of 12), but my Disguisingly Resilient roll was amazing and I was able to reduce it down to 4. 😂

A photo of three heavily armoured warriors in full green armour. They're all grotesque, the left is holding an axe and a mace and has a grinning and fleshy demon face on his right shoulder pad, and he has a long purple tongue and fly eyes. The middle has a screaming daemon face on his knee pad and three tentacles bursting out from his left side. The last has a huge mouth in his abdomen with a long purple tongue coming out of it, and some sort of tentacle coming out from the left eye of his helmet.

Finished the last three members of my Death Guard squad for Kill Team! I'm really happy with how these came out, I tried some new techniques (much less dry brushing and more building up in thin layers, particularly in the daemon faces in the armour), and I used my airbrush to varnish them rather than having to wait for the weather to cooperate to use the spray can.

A photo of a Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team board with terrain on it that's all ramshackle and looks like it's part of a junk yard, which has been undercoated in black but has shamefully had nothing else done to it.

We FINALLY got a game of the new Kill Team in! We played without tac-ops or equipment just to streamline things a bit, and only got two out of the four turns done, but it was really good, can't wait to play more.

A photo of a Warhammer 40,000 Plague Marine, he has pock-marked heavy armour and spikes all over. He's in mid-stride and is holding a very large flamethrower-looking thing. His head, backpack, and both arms are unpainted bare plastic and are the new parts I added.

Another Warhammer 40,000 Plague Marine, this one has a tentacle for a left arm and is holding a meltagun. The gun and his right forearm are bare plastic and are the new parts I added.

And done, that's now one of every available operative type and weapon! Really happy with how the plague spewer guy came out. The guy with the meltagun was tricky as well because I had to hack the bolter he was carrying carefully around the tentacle so I could re-use it for the gun.

A photo of five miniatures (2 Tau, 2 Death Guard, 1 Space Marine Reiver) with an undercoat colour of white or black, with their weapons clearly newly-added because they're fully unpainted raw grey plastic. The miniature in the middle isn't fully assembled and is missing his head and both arms.

With the new edition of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team coming out and all the changes to squad composition (generally speaking you can only have a single type of special weapon in each squad), I'm doing some converting of my as-yet-unpainted miniatures! Most of them I could just break the glue apart on the arm joints, but for the guy in the middle, his arms were one single piece connected to half the torso, so I had to hack through the whole arm at the shoulder.

A photo of seven base-coated Plague Marines from Warhammer 40,000. Two have mouths with teeth in their abdomens, another's helmet is broken and they have compound eyes like a fly, one is wielding a MASSIVE cleaver, another has a flail. They've all got all sorts of little pustules on them and tentacles coming out from various places.

Man, the details on these Plague Marines are absolutely crazy!

A photo of the box set of seven Plague Marines from Warhammer 40,000. They're all big and heavily armoured with all sorts of tentacles and gross fleshy bits coming out of them.

As if I didn't have enough unpainted miniatures already, my box of seven Plague Marines arrived today!
