A photo of the ten miniatures that are my Corsair Voidscarred squad. They're essentially space elf pirates, all their armour is elegant and flowing and a rich burgundy colour, and they have cool turquoise capes. They're branding various ranged and close-combat weapons, and several of them have brightly-coloured mohawks. They each have a personalised name plate attached to the front of their bases, with a smaller bit of text on top that gives the unit type ("Fate Dealer", "Soul Weaver", "Way Seeker", and other such cool-sounding things), and a larger piece of text along the bottom that gives the unit's actual name, which are all sort-of Celtic feeling.

There we go, the nameplates for my #KillTeam Voidscarred are done and attached!

A photo of ten rounded nameplates that attach to the front of the base of a Warhammer miniature. There's a big section around the base with the unit's actual name and then a smaller section on top with what type of unit they are. The unit names are sort-of Celtic as befits Aeldari, and the types include cool things like "Shade Runner", "Felarch", "Way Seeker", and "Fate Dealer".

A few weeks ago I came across a post where someone had taken photos of their Warhammer 40,000 Kill Teams squad that had little nameplates on the front. Turns out there's a place in the UK that 3D prints custom nameplates with your own text on them in a variety of styles and fonts (https://www.versatileterrain.co.uk) so I ordered some for my Voidscarred and they arrived today! They're very cleverly attached to the printing bases only at the very back of the plate, so I'm going to leave them as they are for ease of painting and only chop them off right at the end of the process once they're all done and ready to go onto the miniature bases.

A photo of three heavily-armoured fantasy-type warriors. One is holding a long staff behind her and looks like she's in the middle of flying just above the ground, the second has a cool hood/cloak thing going on and has one hand in front of him levitating a giant rock, and the third has a sword and staff and is pointing his staff forwards like he's about to cast some magic from it.

A photo of five miniatures. The leader is androgynous and skinny and has four arms and no eye sockets and is wearing a long robe, and the other four are smaller and... just really fucked up. It's hard to describe. One is like a starfish but with an eye in the middle and a fish body, the second is running on four legs but has like six eyes and a mouth that goes most of the way around its body, the third is a leaning back on its arms and has like a bird head, while its lower half of body is too short and its feet are holding up a swirling ball of magic, and the last one is also like a starfish with an eye in the middle but it has three-fingered hands at the end of each of its five arms and it's capering along the ground while holding magical flame above its "head".

There we go, Domitan's Stormcoven and Ephilim's Pandaemonium are both assembled! All of the Warhammer Underworlds warbands are push-fit — meaning you still need to chop them out of the sprue, but gluing them together isn't required if you're not actually going to paint them because there's little poles on some pieces that go into holes on other pieces inside the miniatures to keep them together — but holy FUCK were the Pandemonium irritating to put together, they would have been SO much easier if they hadn't been required to be push-fit. 😫

A photo of ten assembled and undercoated humanoid but extremely clearly not human miniatures, plus two more that look kind of like a cross between a dog and a pig. The humanoids are fairly spindly and have faces that almost look like turtles, and their "hair" is spines that stick straight out from the back of their heads. Their clothing is quite organic, there's a bit of armour but it's quite worn-looking. They're all wielding various weapons, mostly extremely long rifles.

Finally got my Kroot from the Into The Dark box assembled and undercoated! The organic feel of them should be a nice change of pace from the clean lines of the Voidscarred.

A photo of ten miniatures standing in front of what looks like the inside of an industrial-looking starship. They're essentially space elf pirates, all their armour is elegant and flowing and a rich burgundy colour, and they have cool turquoise capes. They're branding various ranged and close-combat weapons, and several of them have brightly-coloured mohawks.

A photo of ten Astra Militarum Tempestus Scions (basically regular humans with guns in armour). The leader is in the middle and standing on a piece of industrial machinery aiming a plasma pistol and has her black cape billowing out dramatically behind her. They others are all wearing big blue-grey armour and are wielding various guns, they've all got black or brown skin, and they all look extra bad-ass because they're wearing red berets and a couple of them have sunglasses on. The bases are done so they all look like they're standing in snow.

I had entirely too much fun setting up a proper group shot for my Voidscarred and Scions today.

A photo of six zombie miniatures and the zombie master guy who's in a long flowing deep purple cloak and who is wearing a skin mask. Four of the zombies have poles coming out of them with wires connected between each pole, in a very Frankensten-esque manner. One has an arm that's WAY larger than its regular arm that's been grafted onto it.

And that's the Exiled Dead all done! I HAD to add some blood effects, of course. 😁

The Exiled Dead are coming along excellently, I reckon I'll probably have them all finished and varnished tomorrow!

A photo of the side and rear of a hunched-over zombie that has poles coming out of its back. The poles are connected to each other via wires, and the wires are MEANT to look like they're lit up with electricity and there's light being cast on its back but... it doesn't look very good.

Another zombie but from the front and, this one is upright and mid-shamble with one hand reaching out in front of it. It's got the same poles and wires sticking up from behind it that the other one did, but I didn't bother doing the lighting effect and they're just dark green. The zombie's skin is mostly skin-coloured but with an unnatural green hue to it and you can see part of its brain where the top of its skull is missing.

I decided to start on the Warhammer Underworlds warband The Exiled Dead, tried doing some object source lighting on the first one and it looks pretty shit, to the point that I may just re-base coat it tomorrow and start over. Really happy with the second though!

A photo of five miniatures. They're basically space elf pirates, all their armour is elegant and flowing and a rich burgundy colour, and they have cool turquoise capes. Two of them have bright coloured mohawks and are holding big alien-looking guns up, one has two large swords and is holding one out in front of him like he's pointing it something, another has a full helmet on and is holding a tall staff with a blue gem at the top, and the last one has a shock of bright red hair and is holding a sword in front of him like he's inspiring the troops, and has a long alien rifle in his other hand.

A photo of the entire squad of all ten Corsair Voidscarred together.

My last five Corsair Voidscarred for Kill Team are done, and that's now the whole squad finished! Very excited to take them for a spin.

A photo of the rear of five partially-painted miniatures. They've all got long flowing cloaks, and two of them have lizard skin cloaks which are a dull green colour on the scales and faded up into a desaturated yellow colour on the knobbly bits that are obviously from the middle of the lizards' backs.

My last five Corsair Voidscarred are coming along nicely. I did the base coating of their capes tonight (no highlights yet) and did wet blending with Contrast paints for the first time for the two with the lizard skin cloaks. Really pleased with how they came out, many thanks to @[email protected] for the inspiration!
