Graveyard Shift: Interlude

The session started with the players brainstorming what to do, as their characters continued to put on their wargear. It was fun to listen to for a bit, but I soon started a 10-minute timer, and announced that sirens were blaring all over the place. Warder peaked out and assessed the situation quite astutely, but was also sighted by the military personnel running to contain the situation: 5 Sisters of Battle, 10 Skitarii and 20 Guardsmen.

Repainting Bloodletters (2) with glowing ember swords

Introduction

The last squad of the 30 Bloodletters to be repainted. I decided on following the same scheme and easy basing as before, except for some experiments on the swords to keep things interesting.

Dungeon of the Mad Mage: Lemon summoning circle

We swore vengeance against the goblins last time, but we were too few to attempt a direct attack... we continued exploring the 2nd level instead (after spending some time selling our trash loot, obviously).

Painting a Mystic

Introduction

Samael, the hexblade warlock had been switched to Okos Ember, the mystic for some time now. We got this miniature from Reaper Miniatures and drew up basic guidelines on how I should paint it. (Notice rough similarities with the painted example.)

Wrapping up Dark Tides:Descent and transition to Graveyard Shift

The session started with wrapping up the previous adventure. Thrakus kept Gerrit held down until arriving at the train station, while the other agents - left on the slower train with a pile of corpses - looked through the Prophet's belongings. Plenty of evidence to tie him to the murders.

Painting shiny Skullcrushers

Introduction

For the eBay Skullcrushers, I settled on a quick experiment: a WarhammerTV color scheme for the "Iron Horde". I'm not that into Age of Sigmar lore, but the color scheme looked fun, so here goes.

Speed painting silver

Dungeon of the Mad Mage: Money well spent

We started off with the party split into two groups[1]: Selene and Szivem in the throneroom with Yek, the rest of us hanging out outside in the market.

For the first interlude, a couple of guards brought a thrashing dwarf into the throneroom, and Yek ordered him shaved, then taken to his treasure room. Whatever, we don't care. I tried to use the interruption to contact Szivem through our Sending Stones, but apparently none of that works in this dungeon. Great.

Rebasing resin based Bloodletters to 32mm

Introduction

I really hate changing base sizes. Now, I only have 10 Bloodletters like this, but to imagine having a horde of these needing new bases gives me the shudders. I originally created all of my infantry for Warhammer Fantasy - so 25mm. But now GW is moving them all to 32mm. Luckily, 40k doesn't really care, so I refused to do any rebasing work. But I'm more into Age of Sigmar now, so here goes nothing...

Bloodthirster finished

Extended base for the Bloodthirster

Introduction

Same idea as with the Fire Demon/Bloodthirster's base. 

Dark Tides: the Cult of Luxury

The session started off at the marketplace, with the agents preparing for their trek into the underhive wastelands. The cult was to be found in a nice sounding place called the Sump Pits.

July review & August goals

Well, looks like I was way too optimistic last time.

Gaming wise, everything went well. Both Dungeons & Dragons and Wrath and Glory are progressing as scheduled. I went to the 40k event and had fun. I assume role-playing games will continue this month, but I'll probably continue skipping on wargaming. My daily schedule is way too tight to allow wiggle room.

Hobby wise, I think I'm into Contrast paints now. I went through the basic steps and I'm currently experimenting with more advanced stuff. This means that *my* backlog is still mostly untouched, but at this point I'll be happy if my originally proposed spring projects will be done by the end of the year.
