Two pieces of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team terrain. They're parts of an Ork fort and look like they belong in a junk yard, the walls and platform on top are made up of a whole ton of pieces of metal scrap, like big plates, corrugated pieces, massive beams, there's a door in there, and a couple of empty gas cylinders. They're EXTREMELY ramshackle.

I wish I'd gotten onto this airbrushing thing earlier. It's SO much faster to paint terrain, I'm actually going to finish all of the Kill Team stuff from Octarius! These aren't finished yet, but there's two more identical pieces to go, then it'll just need a splash of colour, a coat of quickshade and then some drybrushing, and it'll be 100% done. And then I might even try to make a dent in the Sector Mechanicus terrain from my old Kill Team starter box from 2019 that I've assembled and undercoated and then done absolutely nothing else with. 😮

A photo of what looks like an old-style oil rig with the big weight that goes up and down. There's two tanks covered in metal plating of various colours with all sorts of pipes going everywhere, and it's all brown and rusty-looking.

I decided that I should really bite the bullet and actually get started on the large pieces of the Kill Team terrain from the Octarius box that I bought in the middle of 2021. Figured it'd be a good opportunity to actually try doing some airbrushing in a fashion other than a zenithal highlight base coat, and I'm pretty pleased with how it's coming out! I'm less worried about obviously sticking within the lines because a) it's terrain and I don't care nearly as much, and b) in this case it's Ork terrain which is completely ramshackle anyway. It's weirdly shiny because I'm using Army Painter's "Strong Tone" shade paint, which is sort of like Citadel's washes but oil-based and far thicker, and for some reason they thought a glossy finish would be the go. Once it's dry (which takes a good 24-48 hours 😮) I'm going to give it a drybrushing with some gunmetal silver and then will hit it with a matte varnish to get rid of the shine, and I reckon it's going to look pretty tops.

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 the board of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team's new box called "Into the Dark". There's a bunch of walls that are incredibly detailed and look almost steampunk, with hulking Space Marines on the right and regular armoured human troops on the left.

In the office for Kill Team tonight! I didn't actually play this game, merely spectated, but it was using the new Into The Dark terrain and missions that were released recently, and it's pretty excellent.

A photo of all of the assembled grey plastic terrain from Kill Team: Into The Dark. It consists of a heap of interconnecting walls, all extremely detailed and steam punk-looking, with pipes and gothic-looking features and skulls. There's also extra bits like ammo boxes and little generators. The whole lot takes up almost the entire width of my painting table, which is 90cm wide.

IT IS DONE. (Miniature at the front for scale.) ::collapses in a heap::

A photo of my painting desk with a bunch of industrial-looking walls in grey plastic already assembled at the right, a sprue with more walls on it in the middle, and the assembly instruction booklet at the left. The desk is covered in the little bits of plastic I've chopped off the terrain to tidy it up.

Current status: Assembling the seemingly endless amounts of terrain from the new Kill Team box.

A photo of the (ENORMOUS) box of the new edition of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. The box art has a painting of a huge cathedral-like starship floating in the depths of space on the left-hand side, and on the right is a heavily armed and armoured guy in a chonky helmet holding what looks like a beefy shotgun. The tagline for this is "Intense boarding actions in the 41st millennium."

Who has two thumbs and now owns even more plastic? This guy!

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 the Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team squad "Corsair Voidscarred", which are basically space elf pirates, and four pots of paint. The art on the front of the box is of one of the Voidscarred who has a turquoise mohawk and a breathing mask on, and is wearing elegant-looking turquoise armour. He's wielding sleek and elegant-looking bone-coloured pistol.

I don't have a problem, YOU have a problem.

A photo of the "Ferratonic Incinerator" terrain from Warhammer 40,000. It's a massive rusty-looking cylindrical furnace with a platform on top and a gantry that extends across to the right. There's all sorts of pipes and wires and controls all over the whole thing and it's borderline steampunk but also very industrial.

I decided to mix it up a bit and today completed one of the huge pieces of terrain that I got in the old Kill Team box back in 2019 (https://virtualwolf.org/media/posts/1097). Pretty pleased with how it came out, given I only started it last night! I think the trick is to ignore all the crazy fine detail and just do broad colours, and just pick out a few key details at the end.
