A photo of the ten miniatures that are my Corsair Voidscarred squad. 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. They each have a personalised name plate attached to the front of their bases, with a smaller bit of text on top that gives the unit type ("Fate Dealer", "Soul Weaver", "Way Seeker", and other such cool-sounding things), and a larger piece of text along the bottom that gives the unit's actual name, which are all sort-of Celtic feeling.

There we go, the nameplates for my #KillTeam Voidscarred are done and attached!

A photo of a Warhammer Underworlds game board. It has hex tiles on it, and the artwork looks like the inside of a cave. Closest to the camera are Skittershank's Clawpack, which consists five ratmen in various dynamic poses (one of them is in the middle of leaping over a smoke bomb he's just set off). At the other end of the board are the six goatmen of Grashrak's Despoilers: two are larger and more intimidating looking, one is holding a giant axe in the air and is gripping the head of someone he just decapitated, and the other four are smaller and shabbier, wielding bows and spears.

We played some more Warhammer Underworlds tonight, my sneaky tricksy Skaven versus @yayKM's filthy goatmen. I ended up winning 11-8 but MAN was it tight right up until my very last activation of the whole game. The attacks I made in my second last and last activations were absolutely critical, because had I flubbed them — or had @yayKM successfully defended — she would have won 8-5 instead. Fully SIX glory came from killing her leader (two for killing him because he was a Large fighter, and another four from three different objectives)!

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 three heavily-armoured fantasy-type warriors. One is holding a long staff behind her and looks like she's in the middle of flying just above the ground, the second has a cool hood/cloak thing going on and has one hand in front of him levitating a giant rock, and the third has a sword and staff and is pointing his staff forwards like he's about to cast some magic from it.

A photo of five miniatures. The leader is androgynous and skinny and has four arms and no eye sockets and is wearing a long robe, and the other four are smaller and... just really fucked up. It's hard to describe. One is like a starfish but with an eye in the middle and a fish body, the second is running on four legs but has like six eyes and a mouth that goes most of the way around its body, the third is a leaning back on its arms and has like a bird head, while its lower half of body is too short and its feet are holding up a swirling ball of magic, and the last one is also like a starfish with an eye in the middle but it has three-fingered hands at the end of each of its five arms and it's capering along the ground while holding magical flame above its "head".

There we go, Domitan's Stormcoven and Ephilim's Pandaemonium are both assembled! All of the Warhammer Underworlds warbands are push-fit — meaning you still need to chop them out of the sprue, but gluing them together isn't required if you're not actually going to paint them because there's little poles on some pieces that go into holes on other pieces inside the miniatures to keep them together — but holy FUCK were the Pandemonium irritating to put together, they would have been SO much easier if they hadn't been required to be push-fit. 😫

A photo of a Warhammer Underworlds game board. The artwork looks like a bunch of huge tree roots and on one side they look like they're going down into a river of blood. On the side closest to the camera are six zombies and a zombie master in a flowing purple cloak, and on the other side are six beastly goatmen.

First game of Warhammer Underworlds in a while, and my first outing with the Exiled Dead! @yayKM won 9-7 with Grashrak's Despoilers, and I realised I was playing a couple of things wrong and also misread one of my objectives. It was a lot of fun though, and the shenanigans with Exiled Dead are fantastic.

A photo of the front of the box of the new Warhammer Underworlds release. The artwork has a guy in golden armour with a big blue cloak with a hood standing there with a staff and casting some sort of magic, and below that are two more similar figures fighting off freaky-looking misshapen daemons.

Yesssss, very excited to put the warbands in Wyrdhollow together and take them for a spin, they look like great fun, lots of magic-casting!

A photo of a game of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. The board looks like the metal of the inside of an ancient steampunk starship, and the terrain is a bunch of walls all connected together in the same steampunk style to form number of interconnecting rooms. On the left are nine Aeldari (think space elves) in elegant fuchsia-coloured armour, and at the right are ten heavily-armoured human warrior women in black armour and red cloaks, all with striking white hair.

First game of Kill Team with my Voidscarred tonight! It was against the Sisters of Battle, I won 18-13. Really enjoyed this layout from the new Critical Tac-Ops, it required a lot of strategising about where to go and which hatches to open when. The Voidscarred are so much fun to play, they've got lots of things they can do and the free Dash action every turn is brilliant, it makes them incredibly fast to move around. Good LORD the Sisters' "Divine Intervention" tactical ploy that lets them ignore the damage from a single attack dice was a pain though. It would have been four or five times I was about to kill a miniature and my opponent was able to pull that off to save them! Favourite moment was absolutely melting one unit with my Starstorm Duellist's dual fusion pistol, shooting another with her shuriken pistol, and then using the Way Seeker's Warp Fold psychic power to swap positions with the Duellist and proceed to beat down on another unit that was next to the one I'd just melted. I ended up sweeping up and around the top to claim six objectives, while my forces at the bottom ended up getting annihilated and not accomplishing a whole lot, though it DID end up with a bunch of my opponent's forces down there without being able to get to anywhere useful so it worked out well enough in the end.

A photo of ten assembled and undercoated humanoid but extremely clearly not human miniatures, plus two more that look kind of like a cross between a dog and a pig. The humanoids are fairly spindly and have faces that almost look like turtles, and their "hair" is spines that stick straight out from the back of their heads. Their clothing is quite organic, there's a bit of armour but it's quite worn-looking. They're all wielding various weapons, mostly extremely long rifles.

Finally got my Kroot from the Into The Dark box assembled and undercoated! The organic feel of them should be a nice change of pace from the clean lines of the Voidscarred.

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 six zombie miniatures and the zombie master guy who's in a long flowing deep purple cloak and who is wearing a skin mask. Four of the zombies have poles coming out of them with wires connected between each pole, in a very Frankensten-esque manner. One has an arm that's WAY larger than its regular arm that's been grafted onto it.

And that's the Exiled Dead all done! I HAD to add some blood effects, of course. 😁
