A photo of six almost Egyptian-looking skeletons wielding various weapons. One of them is HUGE and has moose-like antlers coming from his head and is holding a massive scythe. The armour plates are done in a dark blue/green colour and the edges of the armour looks like bone and is done in a shiny golden brass, and they've got tatty but really rich red-coloured loin cloth things.

And that's Kainan's Reapers done! I think that green on their armour might be my new favourite colour, and I'm super-happy with how the red cloths came out too. I did a proper highlight on those rather than drybrushing, because I wouldn't be able to get in sufficiently to do a drybrush properly without getting the red on all the surrounding areas too.

A photo of a two-player game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's played on a board with hexes on it, the artwork on the board looks like it's in a sea cave or something. Closest to the camera are five Skaven (ratmen) assassins, and facing them are four lithe elves painted mostly in deep purples.

Well, I might have done a fantastic job painting the miniatures, but good god was the standard deck that Skittershank's Clawpack comes with rubbish. I couldn't do half the stuff, scored all of 2 glory by most of the way through the second round, and we gave up at that point. Fortunately Kristina said the Shadeborn deck was a lot of fun, so that's good at least. I'll need to pull the Clawpack deck apart and make it better.

Kainan's Reapers are coming along nicely!

A photo of four painted miniatures. They're all elves in various dynamic positions and have cloaks that turn into... not quite smoke at the ends, and the cloaks have been painted this INCREDIBLY deep and rich dark purple colour. They've got some leather clothing that's a deep burgundy colour, their pants are black, armoured parts are silver, and they've all got rich gold clasps holding the cloaks together. The leader lady has a big staff with a bright turquoise crescent moon thing on the top, and she's got a mask on that hides her face that's got gold around it and the same bright turquoise for the faceplate. The bases have been painted in a deep blue then drybrushed with a much lighter blue.

And that's the Shadeborn done! I'm absolutely stoked with these, the colours go so well together and I love the simplicity of the bases, like it's midnight or something.

A photo of four partially painted miniatures. They're all elves in various dynamic positions and have cloaks that turn into... not quite smoke at the ends, and the cloaks have been painted this INCREDIBLY deep and rich dark purple colour.

Games Workshop released new some paints in their Contrast paint line earlier this year, and they've got some new formulations that mean they can do REALLY pigmented paints. I picked some of them up and am using them on the Shadeborn, and oh man, that purple in particular. 😍

A photo of the five miniatures that make up the Skittershank's Clawpack warband. They're all rat-men with dark green cloaks and pointy weapons, and look like they're skulking about ready to assassinate someone. The bases of them make them all look like like they're in a sewer.

Got the Skaven warband from the Warhammer Underworlds: Nethermaze core box finished! Very happy with how they came out, and the miniatures are definitely up there in terms of my favourite sculpts. Next up will be the Shadeborn, which are ALSO fucking awesome-looking miniatures (https://virtualwolf.org/media/posts/2063).

A photo of a three-player game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's a board game played on boards with hexagonal tiles, at the right are four flowing spirits in a sickly green colour, at the back are seven ghouls with rotten green-looking skin and fresh blood like they've been feeding, and at the right at four lithe and elegant elves. There's also cards laid out in front of each player, and various dice and tokens scattered about.

We had another visit from @[email protected] today. Beanie barked a bit more than he has previously but it'd been a while, and it was more of an "I'm excited" kind of thing and not "Oh god who is this!" We played our standard game of Warhammer Underworlds, me playing Lady Harrow's Mournflight (the spirits), Kristina playing Myari's Purifiers (the elves) and @[email protected] playing The Grymwatch (the ghouls) for the first time. Despite a shocking start from @[email protected], he staged a hell of a comeback and the final score ended up with me on 11, him on 9, and Kristina on 8.

A photo of my painting desk setup, with an arch of LED strip lights illuminating the working area, five Skaven (rat-men) miniatures ready to be painted, and a bunch of little pots of paint spread over two shelves.

Friday night status: A Drambuie, a piece of 85% dark chocolate, and finally starting to paint one of the warbands that came in the Warhammer Underworlds: Nethermaze box.

A photo of the initial setup of a game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's a miniatures board game played on boards with hexagonal tiles, closest to the camera are four armoured vampires with pale blue skin and red cloaks, with blood dripping from their weapons and the corners of their mouths, and on the other side are four lithe and lightly-armoured elves.

It's been quite a while but we played some more Warhammer Underworlds tonight! The Crimson Court (vampires) versus Myari's Purifiers (elves), I played the vampires which I realised I hadn't actually played before, and won 10-5 despite a very poor start.

A photo of the four elven miniatures that make up The Shadeborn warband from Warhammer Underworlds: Nethermaze. They're all in very dynamic poses, all lithe and mid-leap. The painting is a black undercoat with white airbrushed from the top angles of the miniature so it really gives a sense of depth as all of the lower surfaces are darker, as they would be if they were lit up directly from above.

The five Skaven from Warhammer Underworlds: Nethermaze. Skaven are sneaky, tricksy ratmen, and these ones are in very dynamic poses as well and look like they're about to attack. The bases are sculpted to look like they're lurking in a sewer, and the painting has been done in the same way as the Shadeborn: black undercoat with white airbrushed from the top so it looks like they're being lit from above.

Well, I'm not remotely confident enough to do actual painting with my airbrush, but I reckon I've got the hang of this zenithal highlighting thing.
