A photo of a Warhammer 40,000 miniature, he's wearing dark green armour and is holding a shotgun in one hand and has a big knife in the other, with the pose implying he's about to use it. He's wearing industrial-looking goggles and looks mostly human except his skin is a very light purple and his skull is just... slightly too big. The base of the miniature looks like it's completely muddy and there's lots of dark green and brown grasses growing, and the mud is splattered up his legs.

Just finished the test miniature for my colour scheme for the Genestealer Cults squad for Kill Team I have. Pretty happy with how it came out, the usual thing with the GSC is that they're all wearing industrial gear so I wanted to do something different and so made it look like they're wading through a swamp instead. There's also a pool of gross-looking green swampy water at his feet but you can't really see it at this angle due to the grass. I'll have to make a point of not covering that up so much next time, oops.

A photo of a Warhammer 40,000 miniature wielding a plasma pistol and sword and standing in a very heroic pose. She's got a military cap on and her black stormcloak is billowing out behind her, and the base is a bunch of snow around a stone base that has a piece of gun-metal grey industrial equipment on it.

A photo of the full squad of Astra Militarum Tempestus Scions. In addition to the leader in the previous photos, there's another nine, they're 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.

The entire Scion squad is finally done! 🎉 Absolutely stoked at how good they look, the base on the leader especially.

A photo of a mostly-painted Warhammer 40,000 miniature wielding a plasma pistol and sword and standing in a very heroic pose. She's got a military cap on and her black stormcloak is billowing out behind her.

We had another "refresh day" at work today, so I naturally I did more miniature painting. Extremely happy with how the leader for my Scions is coming along, she's very nearly done. Just need to do the plasma glow effect on the gun and put the snow around the base and then it's finished!

A photo of nine Warhammer 40,000 miniatures, they're fully-painted heavily armoured women troopers in very pale blue/grey armour wielding various guns. The four at the back have black skin and the new five have brown skin. Their bases are painted up to look like they're standing on snow, and there's wintery grass tufts on the bases too.

The unpainted leader in the middle is standing with one leg up on a piece of machinery, with her cloak billowing out behind her and pointing a plasma pistol in an imposing fashion.

That's my Scions done! The new ones are the five in the front, the back four painted ones are the ones I finished back in June. I just need to paint my leader in the middle there, and my Kill Team squad will be fully complete!

A photo of five mostly-painted armoured troops. They've got light blue/grey armour and are all holding futuristic-looking guns. Their faces are brown with nice highlighting and I managed to do the eyes including the pupils.

Man, this is definitely getting to the slow part. Finally getting around to finishing the last five Astra Militarum Scions from my converted all-women squad, and it took me two hours just to do the eyes and faces.

A photo of ten grey plastic miniatures of the "Sisters of Battle" faction in Warhammer 40,000. They're all women wearing power armour and wielding big-arse guns, and the lore is that they're the military wing of the Imperial Church so there's a distinctly religious feel to them.

Man, I thought the Drukhari were fiddly to assemble, the Sisters of Battle are even more so. Such fantastic miniatures though!

A photo of seventeen assembled miniatures in grey plastic. They're all wearing industrial-looking protective gear but their skulls are freakishly large and they're clearly not actually fully human.

Continuing my miniature-assembling spree by finishing putting together my Genestealer Cults! I absolutely love these miniatures, they look human at first glance, but then you look more closely and their heads are too large and the ones at the right have three arms. Looking forward to getting them painted up.

A photo of six assembled and undercoated miniatures. Drukhari are basically evil space elves, the ones at the back (the Kabalites) all have spiky armour and helmets and are pointing spiky-looking guns, and the ones at the front (the Wyches) are much more lightly armoured (but still spiky) and have knives and pistols.

Man, I've been completely spoilt by how easy to put together the Warhammer Underworlds kits are. I finished my Drukhari Kablites and Wyches and good LORD I'd forgotten how fiddly the regular miniatures can be. The Wyches weren't too bad, but the arms for the Kabalites need to be glued in both at the shoulders and also the hand supporting the gun from underneath also needs to be glued, so you end up doing this three-way dance trying to get it all to line up.

A photo of twelve boxes of unopened Warhammer 40,000 squads sitting on a shelf (plus two individual miniatures on top of that).

A photo of my painting desk with a two sprues of miniature parts on it, ready for assembly. Also a piece of dark chocolate and an alcoholic beverage.

Tonight's endeavour is to finally put at least a small dent in my pile of unassembled Kill Team squads. 😅

A photo of four Warhammer 40,000 miniatures. They're all regular human troops with big armour and various guns, but the stock male heads have been replaced with third-party female ones from a company called Statuesque Miniatures. The skin colour is very dark but with really nice subtle shading, and the one I called out with the goggles has them pulled up on her forehead. The goggles have a really nice shade going from very dark green down to a lighter green so it looks like they're some sort of futuristic night vision or something.

It took far too long, but the first four Scions of my converted all-women Kill Team squad are done! Absolutely stoked with how well they came out, in particular the faces as well as the goggles on the one second from the left. There was absolutely no drybrushing on these at all, but given how much time drybrushing saves and the fact that I've got another nine of these to paint, I'm definitely going back to drybrushing for the larger areas because I want to actually get the rest of these finished some time in the next five years. 😛
