A photo of an white metal outdoor table with several pieces of wood in various states of being cut on it, along with a circular saw and a jigsaw, as well as earmuffs, and a mask,

Continuing with my theme of productive New Years Eve, this time I'm doing some woodworking! Making a second level for my painting table so I've got more room to put my paints, because I'm very much running out of room at this point.

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 the box of Warhammer 40,000: Fireteam. The artwork consists of two Space Marines clad in blue power armour in the midst of a number of grey metal Terminator-looking robots.

New game! Really keen to take this for a spin, it's like Warhammer Underworlds in that it's got a hex-based board you play on, but it's set in the 40K universe and the bulk of the rules are based on the new Kill Team edition that came out earlier this year. It comes with Space Marines and Necrons but has cards for an additional four factions if you've got the miniatures for them (which conveniently I do)!

A photo of the Grymwatch warband assembled, in sickly green plastic. Seven miniatures, six are zombies, one's holding an axe and pointing, the others are hunched over in various poses. There's also a pair of very large bats.

A photo of the Kainan's Reapers warband assembled, in bone-coloured plastic. Six miniatures, all skeletons. Four are warriors holding various weapons, one has a big staff and is weaing an elaborate headdress, and the last is a HUGE armoured fellow towering over the rest, holding a double-bladed scythe.

A photo of the Starblood Stalkers warband assembled, in torquoise-coloured plastic. Six miniatures, all lizards. One has a blowpipe, another has a spear raised above his head, the third is slinking along. Another is a chameleon with a blowpipe, the fifth has an elaborate staff and is holding a small ball up in triumph, and the last is a big heavily-armoured chonker.

A photo of the Khagra's Ravagers warband assembled, in dark grey plastic. Four miniatures, all human, though aligned with Chaos. Three are heavily-armoured, two of them with helmets on, the third without one (Khagra herself), and the last is a more spindly-looking wizard lady with horns growing out of her head and holding a staff in one hand and casting flame in the other.

That was a productive day, I got ALL the rest of the Warhammer Underworlds warbands assembled! We have the Grymwatch, Kainan's Reapers, the Starblood Stalkers, and Khagra's Ravagers.

Of course, it remains to be seen how long it'll be before they're actually painted. 😛 (I should point out that this is more work I've done with my miniatures in the last two days than I'd previously done in the last seven months).

A photo of a small automatic-turning spit roaster sitting on the floor.

The other Christmas present I forgot to post (because we didn't bother wrapping it or bringing it anywhere) was from Kristina: a little spit roaster! Very keen to take it for a spin.

A photo of the Warhammer Underworlds warband "Rippa's Snarlfangs". It consists of three goblins with Mongolian-style hats riding on the back of big wolves. One has a big spear, another is aiming a bow and arrow, and the third is waving a sword around.

A photo of the Warhammer Underworlds warband "Da Kunnin' Krew". Two tall and slender but fairly heavily-armoured orks, one with a trident and whip and the other with a big snappy-claw thing on a pole. There's also three goblins, two heavily armoured and one wearing a leather helmet.

Ok, some exercise followed by a shower and dinner gave me a bit of a second wind. I had to call it at two warbands though, because it's started raining in the exact direction that comes into the back room, which means I need to have the door closed, which means WHEEEEEE GLUE FUMES.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog with his head just reaching over the edge of a small bin that's been taken out from under the sink. There's a second bin in front of the first one.

Without fail, when it's bin night and Beanie hears me taking them out, he has to come from wherever it is he happens to be and give them a thorough sniffing. Must be such amazing smells for a dog.

A photo of four blue plastic miniatures. Three are heavily armoured warriors — one with a cloak and holding up a lamp, the second holding a huge two-handed warhammer like he's about to swing it, and the last with bow and arrow in mid-run — and the last is a bird taking flight from a tree.

That's Xandire's Truthseekers assembled (one of the two warbands in the Warhammer Underworlds: Harrowdeep box). Not sure I have the energy right now to undercoat them or assemble the other warband though.

A photo of a short (maybe 60cm long? idk I didn't measure it) white floating shelf attached to a wall. There's three others visible, all with miniatures in various states of paintedness on them.

Hung up yet another one of the spare floating shelves we had. And we've still got one of the same size left!

A photo of two round golden-brown loaves of bread sitting on a cooling rack.

Some Boxing Day loaves. 👌🏻 (Or are they Christmas loaves because I started them last night?)
