A photo of all sixty assembled but unpainted Warhammer Quest miniatures sitting on my painting table. See the previous posts in this thread for individual descriptions.

Man, that really is just a boatload of miniatures when you put them all together.

A photo of a BUNCH of assembled but unpainted miniatures in grey plastic. There are:

- 10 skeleton warriors in decaying armour.
- 10 zombies that are all hunched over and have gravestones and dirt on their backs like they've just risen from their graves.
- 6 individual bases that each have a horde of little rats on them, all running on top of each other in a wave.
- 6 bat swarms.
- 2 skeletons hanging from gallows.
- 2 squat little gargoyle things.
- 2 ravens perched atop ruined columns.
- 2 alarmingly large rats that upon closer inspection are rotting and you can see their rib cages.

And lastly, the horde has been assembled! I'm definitely not going to be getting into the woods with the details on these when I paint them though... I think I'll do my standard zenithal highlight and then some Contrast paints and a bit of a drybrush and call it done.

A photo of ten assembled but unpainted miniatures in grey plastic. We have:
- 3 vampire things that are clearly feral, two are on top of columns and the the third is mid-charge, and all three have very long swords.
- 2 undead ogre things with massive axes, and they've got very Mongolian-looking fur hats on.
- A MASSIVE, uh... demon/werewolf thing that's towering over everyone else.
- A skeleton warrior in decaying armour holding a large axe, his cape blowing in the breeze.
- An extremely gaunt humanoid with a long cloak on, holding a large shovel that has a tall metal headdress thing that covers its eyes.
- A wizened old man who is bent over and has what looks like the remains of a pillory still around his neck. There's a crow on one end of it and a rat behind his head, he's holding a candle and a staff and there's a horrifyingly large rat rubbing itself up against his other leg.
- And lastly the leader of all of these, a heavily-armoured vampire holding a sword with two massive werewolf heads and pelts over his shoulders, and another Mongolian-looking fur hat.

And that's the primary enemy miniatures done! I think my favourite is to be the the freaky one second from the left with the headpiece covering its eyes.

After this there's just the hordes of regular enemies left (zombies, skeletons, bat swarms, rat swarms, and various "mysterious objects", things like gravestones, skeletons hanging from gallows, etc.). There's a shit-ton of them but they all consist of only a couple of pieces each so they ought to be pretty quick to smash through I think.

A photo of eight assembled but unpainted miniatures in bone white. We have:
- An aristocratic-looking fellow with a goatee and holding a old timey-pistol and a sword, mid-swagger.
- A vampire hunter with the standard pointy hat and cool cloak holding a shotgun-looking thing, and with many wooden stakes about his person.
- A heavily-armoured warrior woman holding a large sword in front of her, with the head of a gryphon draped over her shoulders.
- A HUGE ogre that's a good couple of heads taller than anyone else, with a massive mace that he's about to swing.
- A dwarf with steampunk-looking armour holding an axe and a steampunk-looking gun.
- A priest in long robes with a hood on and a big elaborate, uh... thing on her back that a bunch of strips of fabric are hanging from. She holding a staff and has her hand out like she's about to cast a spell.
- A wizened wizard who's hunched over in a big robe and has a like skull mask on and a MASSIVE long thing beard, he's holding a staff and clutching a very large tome under the other arm.
- And lastly, a elf with a bow who's mid-leap and also mid-shot, with her braids out behind her. She's got a bandana over her mouth and nose and her headdress is antlers.

I got all the Warhammer Quest hero miniatures assembled tonight and they're so good, I love how characterful they all are!

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 Corsair 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 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. 😁
