A photo of our dining room table with a bunch of crummy polystyrene terrain on it but also an enormous landing pad made out of cardboard, and lots of miniatures. My mum, a tall white woman with a very mid-90s short but poofy hairdo, is standing gesticulating at the table with a tape measure.

Another photo of our dining table with terrain on it, but this time I'm sitting beside it looking like I'm demonstrating something while mum watches what I'm doing.

A photo of me, a just-thirteen year-old white boy with short brown hair and a red (!) t-shirt on, looking extremely serious and with my hand in the position that indicates I've probably just rolled some dice.

I've been taking proper photos of my Games Workshop miniatures and posting them to Flickr, mum saw them and emailed to say she was very impressed and that I hadn't lost my touch. She ALSO mentioned that she had photos of me when I was much younger having a Warhammer 40,000 battle with her on the dining room table! She brought them over and I scanned them in and cleaned them up, and oh boy, check out the youth and the serious expression. 😂 There was a date on the back of July 1996, so I was 13! I'm playing my Eldar, but I think I must have borrowed a friend's what looks like Orks because those miniatures at the far end of the table are definitely not mine!

A photo of a Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team board with three pieces of bit chunky industrial-looking terrain on it. Two have horizontal pipes going into chimney stacks, and the centrepiece is a massive two-storey thing with a wide platform on the first level and a smaller one in the middle on the second.

There we go, all the terrain is put together (miniatures included for scale)! Really happy with how it's ended up, the bits that are already silver are the pieces of the old terrain that I incorporated into the new bits. For the pipes I actually pulled them apart and reattached them in new ways, for the walkway at the left I just glued it as it was onto the side of the new one.

A photo of two boxes of Warhammer 40,000 terrain, the "Alchomite Stack" and "Ferratonic Incinerator". It's extremely industrial-looking, borderline steampunk.

Aw yeah, got two sets of more of the type of terrain that comes in the Kill Team box. I'm thinking of pulling apart a couple of the existing pieces that I have and attaching some of this to it (it's all interchangeable and I've only fully painted two pieces so far, the rest is just base-coated).

A photo of six Astra Militarum guardsmen from Warhammer 40,000. Their armour is very light grey bordering on white like they're ready for winter action. They're brandishing a variety of weapons, one is a sergeant holding a chainsword above his head, another has a sweet handlebar moustache.

And we're done!

A photo of six mostly-painted guardsmen from Warhammer 40,000. Their armour is very light blue/grey, three of them are wearing heavy armour and one has a helmet, another is a sergeant with a beret and brandishing a chainsword, two more are holding very large plasma guns, as is one of the heavily-armoured ones. One of the heavily-armoured ones has a beret and a sweet handlebar moustache.

I was batch-painting ten Astra Militarum guardsmen and it was getting a bit tedious and I wasn't feeling like I was making any progress, so I chopped it down to just the six I need for my squad. Feeling much better now, they're coming along excellently!

A photo of a box of five Warhammer 40,000 Astra Militarum Tempestus Scions (futuristic-looking armoured dudes with guns), and two packs of regular guardsmen with a plasma gun and a melts gun in each.

Huzzah, that's the last bits of my Astra Militarum squad! I also bought some teeensy little magnets and am going to try magnetising the arms so I can swap guns.
