A photo of a dining room with two tables set up on either side, two people are sitting around the left and another two and a child are sitting at the right. There are a bunch of paints and miniatures and things scattered over both tables.

A photo of several different pieces of gothic-looking yet somewhat futuristic ruins of varying sizes sitting on my painting table. They've been primed black and then had three layers of drybrushing done in increasingly-light greys and it looks mint, if you were lazy you could totally use that on the tabletop as-is.

Today I went over to a friend's place for a painting day! I got the drybrushing for ALL of my remaining Hivestorm terrain done, and then we finished the day off with a good hour-long splash around in the pool.

A photo of two disgusting Plague Marine miniatures, both just undercoated. The one on the left is mid-stride and has what looks like a huge flamethrower slung under one arm, and the one on the right is holding a gnarled staff up in one hand and has his other hand out in front of him casting some foul cloud of magic. Both of them are in pox-ridden Space Marine armour, with tentacles and pustules everywhere, and the one on the right with the staff has a huge mouth with massive teeth in the stomach of his armour.

Right, that's the two Plague Marines that I need to make a squad for the new edition of Kill Team ready for painting! The one on the left with the Plague Spewer is actually a conversion I kitbashed but never painted back when the previous 2021 edition of Kill Team came out, and the Malignant Plaguecaster on the right is even older than that: he dates from the Warhammer 40,000: Dark Imperium box that I bought back in 2018 or so.

I don't technically have a WYSIWYG Plague Champion to use as my leader because my Champion that has a plasma pistol has a powerfist instead of a plague sword. I'm going to use the old Noxious Blightbringer model that's also from the Dark Imperium because because he does have a plasma pistol and is holding a bell in his other hand, rather than having a specific weapon that someone might be confused by, plus it's just an AWESOME model and I've never had a chance to use it. He's on a 40mm base rather than 32mm but I can't be bothered trying to rebase him because he's already fully painted, and we just play casually anyway.

Slow going (I have too many other hobbies completing for my time 😅) but that's the second piece of the Hivestorm terrain finished!

A photo of Space Marines, three Assault Intercessors and three standard Intercessors, all of them have a metal-looking nameplate attached to the front of their bases with a gothic-looking font for their names: Sister Miraïs, Sister Lucena, Sister Sarine, Sister Genevane, Sister Arabeth, and Sister Dominea.

They're all wearing standard massive Space Marine armour with big shoulder pads painted in a deep rich red, the Assault Intercessors all look like they're mid-stride and are wielding got pistols and chainswords, and one has a grenade in her hand and looks like she's about to lob it. The other three are holding big boltguns, two look like they're in the middle of firing and the third had hers held upright in one hand while she points commandingly with the other. None of them have helmets and they've all got either mohawks or very short cropped hair and various cybernetic implants. Their guns and chainswords are all black and they've got various brown leather pouches attached to their waists. The bases are done up to look like battlefield mud, it's all dark brown and wet-looking and splattered part-way up their shins, and there's some swampy-looking grasses and green goopy swamp water on the bases too.

It's taken like six months but I finally attached the nameplates to my Intercession squad!

...though I guess now with the release of KT24 it's my "Angels of Death" squad now. 😛

Right, I think I'm calling my first piece done! (Miniatures on top for scale.)

I might go back and add some rust or otherwise general weathering, but I'll get the rest of the terrain finished first.

A photo of the two corner pieces of the Kill Team: Hivestorm terrain. They're simultaneously gothic and also sort of steampunk, with pipes running over them and two huge skulls designs. The pieces have been heavily drybrushed in grey, the metal doors and barred windows are an orange/red colour and the pipes are a rich brown. They're not fully finished yet, but look absolutely striking even in their partially completed state!

For a handful of hours work, this is coming along absolutely smashingly!

Right, that's the terrain assembled and undercoated! Next stop, attempting to replicate @[email protected]'s method with minimal effort via the magic of drybrushing.

And with that, the Intercession team is complete! So very happy with how these came out, but let me tell you, I am not doing this much edge highlighting ever again. 😂

A photo of just one of the Assault Intercessors, she's in a very dynamic pose and is in the middle of running forwards while aiming a chunky bolt pistol in one hand and in her other is a chainsword like she's about to swing it at whoever it is she's aiming at once she gets there. Her armour is a deep rich red colour and all the edges of the armour plates have a lighter red highlight around them. Her skin is black and her hair looks like it's been done in cornrows.

My converted Intercession team is now completely done bar the basing and decals! 🎉 The magnifying headset and the absurdly fine brush I bought were definitely both excellent purchases, there's no way I'd have been able to get the eyes done this well otherwise.

I included the second photo because I just CANNOT get the edge highlighting properly visible when they're sitting on the table like in the first photo.

A photo of a group of six partially-painted Space Marines, three Assault Intercessors and three standard Intercessors. They're all wearing the standard massive Space Marine armour with big shoulder pads which has been painted in a deep rich red colour. All the guns are black and they have brown leather pouches strapped to their waists. The armour all has lighter red strokes along the edges of the plates, and the only completely unpainted bits are the heads.

THE EDGE HIGHLIGHTING IS DONE!

::collapses in a heap::

I didn't even do the "proper" pin-sharp do-it-with-the-edge-of-the-brush thing except for the very lightest highlights at the very end, on the tops of their kneepads and along the edges of the armour in front of their faces, but man that took a while. I only managed to do two each night because it was that tedious, no way in hell would I be doing an entire army like this. Very happy with the results, though looking at the photo it's not super-obvious with the lighting there, but trust me, it is in person. 😅
