A photo of three assembled but unpainted grey plastic miniatures. They're bulky-looking robot suits with huge guns on one arm. (Yes, they _are_ called Stealth Suits despite being the least stealthy-looking things you could think of!)

FINALLY doing some more miniature stuff! I put together my Tau Stealthsuits this evening.

A photo of two pots of miniature paints, a box of three Tau XV25 Stealth Battlesuits, and a box of five Militarum Tempestus Scions.

In amongst the stuff I picked up today was my delivery from Games Workshop that they somehow managed to send to the office back in March despite my home address being the one on the order. Two more Kill Team squads coming right up!

A photo of a Tau Fire Warrior from the Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team box. It has white armour plates and helmet, black feet, and red cloth clothing underneath, and is looking down the barrel of a long black alien-looking laser rifle.

Well, it's not going to win any awards, and I need to pick up a regular paint pot of the Wraithbone undercoat spray so I can fix my mistakes, but my first Tau Fire Warrior is done, and I'm happy with the colour scheme! This was 100% Contrast paints except for a drybrush of Ulthuan Grey.

A photo of five assembled but unpainted Space Marine close combat specialists from the Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team box. They're all armed with bolt pistols and combat knives and are in various dynamic poses like they're in the middle of moving or shooting during a battle.

And my OTHER set of fiddly plastic bits has been assembled into five Adeptus Astartes Reivers!

A photo of three Eldar Guardian miniatures and a Dire Avenger. The Guardians are painted red with white helmets, the left-most one has no washes or dry-brushing and is very plain. The next is richer red but still no proper washes or drybrushing. Next is one I improved by adding Contrast paint and a drybrush, and the Dire Avenger is painted rich dark blue with nice drybrushing and highlights.

I've been an Eldar player since 2nd Edition Warhammer 40,000 but hadn't put together a list for Kill Team yet. I took them out the other night and remembered that the painting was... not great. I gave some of them a bit of a sprucing up, and you can see the progression here, oldest at the left, then I discovered inks, and then the one I added to the other day with some Contrast paint and drybrushing. I did the same for the Dire Avenger on the right but forgot to do a before photo.

A photo of a squad of Tau from Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team. Nine Fire Warriors, one Fire Warrior sergeant, two drones, and a tactical support turret. They're all unpainted, just grey plastic.

And the fiddly plastic bits have been put together into a squad of Tau!

A photo of a desk with two plastic sprues with the contents of the Tau army from the Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team box set and a scalpel sitting next to them.

Current status: lots of fiddly plastic bits.

A photo of a game of Warhammer 40K: Kill Team, with industrial-looking terrain mixed in with gothic cathedral ruins spread across two of the standard size game boards.

We had a three-way Kill Team game tonight, between Death Guard, Genestealer Cult, and Primaris Marines. God damn the Marines are hard to kill, and my Poxwalkers are VERY squishy against them. Probably not worth taking any next time depending on the mission. I managed to kill only a single Marine right at the end.

A photo of a Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team game. It's on two of the standard-size game boards, the left half has very industrial-looking terrain, all metallic and pipes, the right half's terrain is ruined gothic church-style buildings. A team of Death Guard at are the bottom, Necrons at the top, and Adeptus Mechanicus at the right.

Tonight we played more Kill Team! It was a three-player game on two boards, unfortunately Nurgle's finest got some REALLY unlucky dice rolls (and the fucking Necrons kept reanimating!).

A photo of a very industrial/steampunk-looking piece of terrain from the Kill Team starter box. It’s covered in pipes and is painted in dark metallic silver, with the pipes and various panels painted bronze.

Pro-tip: Games Workshop’s new “Gore-Grunta Fur” Contrast paint over Leadbelcher looks FANTASTIC. (This is a WIP hence the places where it needs tidying).
