A photo of seven miniatures, all are painted in a purple/green zombie flesh-type colour. One of them is standing on the back of someone in armour who's lying face down, and has torn his arm off and is busily gnawing on it, another's holding a severed head. There's also two bats in mid-flight who are dragging a headless torso along the ground. All seven ghouls' mouths, hands, and feet are all covered in what looks like fresh blood like they've just fed.

Oh man, this blood effect paint (called appropriately enough "Blood for the Blood God") is amazing/horrific.

For the first time since May of last year, I've actually fully completed a painting project! This is the Warhammer Underworlds warband The Grymwatch, they're a band of ghouls who are completely insane and think they're a noble band of knights but they're actually just, well, flesh-eating ghouls. (Technically they're not actually fully completed quite yet, I still need to varnish them and then apply blood effects, but that's going to have to wait until it's a) not above 25˚C and b) not humid).

A photo of the Grymwatch warband assembled, in sickly green plastic. Seven miniatures, six are zombies, one's holding an axe and pointing, the others are hunched over in various poses. There's also a pair of very large bats.

A photo of the Kainan's Reapers warband assembled, in bone-coloured plastic. Six miniatures, all skeletons. Four are warriors holding various weapons, one has a big staff and is weaing an elaborate headdress, and the last is a HUGE armoured fellow towering over the rest, holding a double-bladed scythe.

A photo of the Starblood Stalkers warband assembled, in torquoise-coloured plastic. Six miniatures, all lizards. One has a blowpipe, another has a spear raised above his head, the third is slinking along. Another is a chameleon with a blowpipe, the fifth has an elaborate staff and is holding a small ball up in triumph, and the last is a big heavily-armoured chonker.

A photo of the Khagra's Ravagers warband assembled, in dark grey plastic. Four miniatures, all human, though aligned with Chaos. Three are heavily-armoured, two of them with helmets on, the third without one (Khagra herself), and the last is a more spindly-looking wizard lady with horns growing out of her head and holding a staff in one hand and casting flame in the other.

That was a productive day, I got ALL the rest of the Warhammer Underworlds warbands assembled! We have the Grymwatch, Kainan's Reapers, the Starblood Stalkers, and Khagra's Ravagers. Of course, it remains to be seen how long it'll be before they're actually painted. 😛 (I should point out that this is more work I've done with my miniatures in the last two days than I'd previously done in the last seven months).

A photo of the Warhammer Underworlds warband "Rippa's Snarlfangs". It consists of three goblins with Mongolian-style hats riding on the back of big wolves. One has a big spear, another is aiming a bow and arrow, and the third is waving a sword around.

A photo of the Warhammer Underworlds warband "Da Kunnin' Krew". Two tall and slender but fairly heavily-armoured orks, one with a trident and whip and the other with a big snappy-claw thing on a pole. There's also three goblins, two heavily armoured and one wearing a leather helmet.

Ok, some exercise followed by a shower and dinner gave me a bit of a second wind. I had to call it at two warbands though, because it's started raining in the exact direction that comes into the back room, which means I need to have the door closed, which means WHEEEEEE GLUE FUMES.

A photo of four blue plastic miniatures. Three are heavily armoured warriors — one with a cloak and holding up a lamp, the second holding a huge two-handed warhammer like he's about to swing it, and the last with bow and arrow in mid-run — and the last is a bird taking flight from a tree.

That's Xandire's Truthseekers assembled (one of the two warbands in the Warhammer Underworlds: Harrowdeep box). Not sure I have the energy right now to undercoat them or assemble the other warband though.

A photo of five novels, the latest edition of Games Workshop's "Warhammer Underworlds" game called "Harrowdeep", a cylindrical container with a bottle of whisky in it, and a box of "aged" Earl Grey tea.

Christmas haul! I'm REALLY keen to try the whisky, it's from India and is a blend of Scottish and Indian barleys.

A photo of a three-player game of Warhammer Underworlds, a hex-based board game with miniatures and cards.

We had another visit from Ben today, played more Warhammer Underworlds, a 3-player game this time. Ben absolutely smashed it this time, and won 13-8-1 (yes, I scored exactly one single glory, EVERYTHING went poorly and I got all the cards at the exact wrong time). Beanie was a bit barky as expected, but we'd also just had a mattress delivered so he was already a bit anxious.

A close-up of a Warhammer Underworlds game board, Lady Harrow's Mournflight (spooky ghost/spirit-looking things) ganging up on a number of armoured but lithe aelves.

We had a visit from Ben today! 😮 Beanie definitely remembered him, though we gave him a full dose of the calming medicine and he was still barky to start with but calmed down faster than we expected. Played another game of Warhammer Underworlds which was a very low-scoring game, mostly because nobody was able to kill each other because both people kept rolling crits on the attack but then also getting them on defense.

A photo of the box of the Warhammer Underworlds warband "The Grymwatch", which are essentially zombies. Also a bunch of little different coloured tufts of grass that are designed to stick onto a miniature's base and add visual interest, and a tub of "muddy ground" brown texture paint, also for basing.

I'm excited to see what interesting things I can do with these little basing grass tufts and the "muddy ground" texture! Got a few ideas already, and definitely no lack of miniatures on which to use them. And I decided to pick up the Grymwatch having seen someone do a WAY cooler paint job with them than the standard one.

A game of Warhammer Underworlds in progress. The board has tiled hexes on it and the two warbands are lithe but armoured aelves versus Slaanesh-worshipping humans (plus a big goatman who's wielding a massive sword over his head).

Tonight's game of Warhammer Underworlds was an absolute rollercoaster. We went for the core Direchasm warbands, by the end of the first round it was looking like an absolute blowout for Kristina, she was up 6-0, and was in the lead up until the very end of the last round. I managed to scrape in with all three of my objectives in hand at the very end of the game, and it ended up being a win for me at 12-7.
