A photo of the box of the Warhammer Underworlds warband "Gorechosen of Dromm". The art on the front is three beefcake dudes, one's got a big ceremonial headdress on and is wielding an axe and a staff, one has very Immortan Joe from Max Mad vibes, and the other is part demon with absurdly large arms and big horns over his shoulders.

Last year we had a "creative refresh day" at work, where our whole department got a free day off to go do something creative and we could expense the stuff we got. Naturally I bought a Warhammer Underworlds warband (https://virtualwolf.org/media/posts/1712) and painted them (https://virtualwolf.org/media/posts/1719), and we've been having a monthly just "refresh day" pretty much since then, just a free day off work. We've got another refresh day on Friday next week, and my team decided we'd do something remote but as a team, I suggested miniature painting and a bunch of people were keen for it so naturally I've bought another warband. 😁

My little footswitch arrived! It's so little and adorable. And because it can be used for different things depending on the amp it's plugged into, they give you this set of little stickers to stick onto the front of it so you know what the actual function is that it's triggering.

A photo of six almost Egyptian-looking skeletons wielding various weapons. One of them is HUGE and has moose-like antlers coming from his head and is holding a massive scythe. The armour plates are done in a dark blue/green colour and the edges of the armour looks like bone and is done in a shiny golden brass, and they've got tatty but really rich red-coloured loin cloth things.

And that's Kainan's Reapers done! I think that green on their armour might be my new favourite colour, and I'm super-happy with how the red cloths came out too. I did a proper highlight on those rather than drybrushing, because I wouldn't be able to get in sufficiently to do a drybrush properly without getting the red on all the surrounding areas too.

A photo of a two-player game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's played on a board with hexes on it, the artwork on the board looks like it's in a sea cave or something. Closest to the camera are five Skaven (ratmen) assassins, and facing them are four lithe elves painted mostly in deep purples.

Well, I might have done a fantastic job painting the miniatures, but good god was the standard deck that Skittershank's Clawpack comes with rubbish. I couldn't do half the stuff, scored all of 2 glory by most of the way through the second round, and we gave up at that point. Fortunately Kristina said the Shadeborn deck was a lot of fun, so that's good at least. I'll need to pull the Clawpack deck apart and make it better.

A photo of seven individual tupperware containers with yellow rice in them. There's black beans, green (string) beans, chorizo, and onion in it.

Aww yiss, I made a batch of Spanish rice with chorizo in it again, but this time added two diced onions and cooked the chorizo in with the onion, and added some garlic paste too, before bunging it all in the pressure cooker. Hot DAMN is it good!

A photo of a bowl of vanilla ice cream with Ice Magic on top, and crushed peanuts scattered on top of that.

Oh man, today has been mental at work, and I remembered that I have ice cream, and now I feel better.

A photo of a two-row pedal board with seven pedals of various sorts on it.

NOW we're cooking with gas.

A photo of the box of a Boss FZ-1W fuzz guitar pedal, and a D'Addario "XPAND2" pedal board, which is a two-row pedal board made of aluminium that can become wider as you get more pedals.

Woooooo! I'm waiting on just one more thing (at least until Christmas 😅), an Orange FS-1 mini footswitch so I can switch between the clean and dirty channels on the amp without having to lean over and down to actually fiddle with the amp itself.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on his side in a patch of a sun, with his head resting on the base of an office chair (that has someone sitting in it), fast asleep.

It's SUCH a hard life.
