A photo of seventeen assembled miniatures in grey plastic. They're all wearing industrial-looking protective gear but their skulls are freakishly large and they're clearly not actually fully human.

Continuing my miniature-assembling spree by finishing putting together my Genestealer Cults! I absolutely love these miniatures, they look human at first glance, but then you look more closely and their heads are too large and the ones at the right have three arms. Looking forward to getting them painted up.

A photo of a game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's a miniatures game played on a board with hex tiles on it, on my side are three very large armoured warriors, and facing them are four lithe and much more lightly armoured elves.

I took Khorne's finest for a spin tonight, and while they ended up winning 14-5 (and are quite fun to play, to boot!), at the start of the last round it really could have gone either way. My leader had one single wound left and I had several things that relied on him being alive. 😬

A photo of six assembled and undercoated miniatures. Drukhari are basically evil space elves, the ones at the back (the Kabalites) all have spiky armour and helmets and are pointing spiky-looking guns, and the ones at the front (the Wyches) are much more lightly armoured (but still spiky) and have knives and pistols.

Man, I've been completely spoilt by how easy to put together the Warhammer Underworlds kits are. I finished my Drukhari Kablites and Wyches and good LORD I'd forgotten how fiddly the regular miniatures can be. The Wyches weren't too bad, but the arms for the Kabalites need to be glued in both at the shoulders and also the hand supporting the gun from underneath also needs to be glued, so you end up doing this three-way dance trying to get it all to line up.

A photo of twelve boxes of unopened Warhammer 40,000 squads sitting on a shelf (plus two individual miniatures on top of that).

A photo of my painting desk with a two sprues of miniature parts on it, ready for assembly. Also a piece of dark chocolate and an alcoholic beverage.

Tonight's endeavour is to finally put at least a small dent in my pile of unassembled Kill Team squads. 😅

A photo of the three miniatures that make up the Warhammer Underworlds warband "Gorechosen of Dromm". They're three beefcake dudes, one's a Black guy with a big ceremonial headdress on and is wielding an axe and a staff, one has very Immortan Joe from Max Mad vibes but also with rocking dad-bod, and the other is part demon with absurdly large arms and big horns over his shoulders. The latter has a fist clenched like he's about to punch something and his hands and mouth are covered in blood.

And that's the Gorechosen of Dromm done! Very happy with these, I did actually almost zero drybrushing, it's all manual highlighting (look closely at the edges of the red armour plating for example).

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on his side with his head propped up against the wall, looking out the narrow side window that's beside our front door.

Beanie's keeping watch by the front door (he can't actually see anything from there beyond a bit of the neighbours' driveway and the giant hedge between us and them).

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on his side on a green blanket, fast asleep.

Current Beanie status: very cozy.

The Gorechosen are coming along nicely! No highlighting done yet, beyond the skin, but I'm very happy with how they're looking already.

A photo of a medium-sized pizza in a cardbox takeaway pizza box. It's got ham, mushrooms, capsicum, and olives on top in addition to the standard cheese.

And now I'm finishing the day off with a take-away pizza because Kristina's out meeting people for dinner and fuck it, I've earned some trashy food today!

A photo of our back yard, covered in knee-high long grass and weeds.

The after photo, same view but with the grass neat and tidy and the patio free of weeds.

And then this afternoon was spent mowing and whippersnippering the lawns, as well as whippersnippering the horrifying amount of weeds that'd grown up in between the bricks of the patio. Also in between the food this morning, I did all the laundry as well. I am now officially DONE with doing ANYTHING that doesn't involve sitting down.
