A photo of a big boxy stompy green Chaos Dreadnaught being overrun by eight purple, four-armed Alien-esque Genestealers.

My Dreadnaught got, uh, slightly swarmed. (We lost due to not paying enough attention to objectives, though we also didn't actually finish all the turns before my teammate had to get back home so technically it could have gone either way.)

A photo of a table with lots of home-made terrain on it, all either rocky or scrap-looking metal constructs. On this side are Chaos Space Marines, painted in green, next to regular Space Marines which are shamefully unpainted (and also held together with Blu-tac). On the other are Tyranids and Necrons.

Look out, we're playing Warhammer 40,000! Pretty sure this is the first time in seven years...

A photo of the board of Warhammer 40,000: Fireteam with miniatures on it. The board consists of hexagonal tiles and has industrial-looking artwork on it, and the miniatures are five Space Marines (big power-armoured warriors wielding chainswords and bolt pistols) and thirteen Necrons (Terminator-esque robotic warriors with guns but in poses like they're shambling like zombies). There's also tall industrial/steampunk-looking pieces of terrain on the blocked hexes.

We played another game of Fireteam today, this time with fully-painted miniatures, and I added some (not fully-painted) terrain pieces on the blocked hexes for visual interest! Lots of fun, the mechanics and flow are good, but given the mission we did was the introductory mission, I don't understand how the Necrons can possibly win. I guess I'll need to do some research.

A photo of three miniatures, each of which consists of a swarm of seven little robotic scarab-looking things. Their carapace is a dark bronze colour, and in the middle of their backs is a hemisphere that I've painted such that it looks like it's a dark green gem reflecting the light.

I got the three Necron Scarab swarms done today, and I am fucking STOKED at how well the gems on their backs came out! They look like they're actually glass!

A photo of ten Necron Warriors from Warhammer 40,000. They're robotic and look very Terminator-esque, and are painted in a dark bronze and dark silver. They're all carrying guns, and are in poses very reminiscent of shambling zombies. The bases are done as cracked red earth like it's been extremely dry, and there's one to two little light brown grass tufts on each base as well.

BAM, that's the Necron Warriors from Fireteam fully done! That crackle paint on the bases is so freaking cool, and I love the little dry shrubs as well. I've still got the three Scarab swarms to paint, but they'll be far faster to do. Then after that, five Space Marines, and that'll be the whole Fireteam box completely finished. 🎉

A photo of a Necron Warrior from Warhammer 40,000. It's a skeletal metal robot-looking thing, but resembling a zombie in that it's looks like it's shambling, and the head is very Terminator-esque and looks like a skull. Its eyes are green and it's wielding a long alien-looking rifle. The base of the miniature is a rich red colour like the Australian outback and all cracked like the earth is insanely dry.

Got my first Necron done! I kept it pretty simple since I have another nine of them to paint. Check out that base, it's this special paint called Martian Ironearth from Games Workshop that cracks as it dries!

I played a game of Fireteam against myself tonight, just to get a hang of the rules. I really like it! It's pretty straightforwards and nice and fast-paced.

A photo of five Space Marines in bare blue plastic. They're all equipped with chainswords and pistols, and are in various dynamic poses.

A photo of ten Necron warriors in bare grey plastic, along with three Scarab swarms. The Necrons are Terminator-looking metal machines with guns, but in very shambling zombie-like poses.

And that's the miniatures assembled! (It's getting a bit ridiculous how many unpainted or just undercoated miniatures I have right now).

A photo of a three-player game of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team in progress. The battlefield terrain is all mechical steampunk-looking pieces.

More Kill Team! Death Guard versus Heretic Astartes verus Necrons. There has been some VERY poor rolling on all sides so far.

A photo of a Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team game. It's on two of the standard-size game boards, the left half has very industrial-looking terrain, all metallic and pipes, the right half's terrain is ruined gothic church-style buildings. A team of Death Guard at are the bottom, Necrons at the top, and Adeptus Mechanicus at the right.

Tonight we played more Kill Team! It was a three-player game on two boards, unfortunately Nurgle's finest got some REALLY unlucky dice rolls (and the fucking Necrons kept reanimating!).
