Painting the Fane of Slaanesh (base)

Introduction

Inspiration finally struck incidentally, while I was grinding through the 20 Bloodreavers, and I started work on this terrain piece.

Painting marble

 

D&D 5E one shot... or is it?

Spoiler: it's not.

Painting Mind Flayers

Introduction

The last of the Aberrations and the closing step of the December painting commission.

Dungeon of the Mad Mage: Pirate booty and old women

After last session's extermination of the dark elf encampment[1], we took a well deserved short rest, during which we noticed the wind blowing from down south. Off we go, no matter our chances[2]!

Painting Cthulhu

Introduction

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn

This "fhtagn" business is quickly becoming an inside joke.

Anyway, I consulted my "client" on the desired paint scheme, and he wanted it to look just like the artworks do - all green, except the eyes. Challenge accepted.

Painting Chthons (more aberrations)

Introduction

More aberrations for the painting commission! At this point, I'm already worried of all the monsters my socialite enchantress will face in deep, dark dungeons.

Dungeon of the Mad Mage: Another kind of dungeon

We started off with the interrogation of T'rissa. I prepared a speech and some questions, and she answered readily enough. House Auvryndar was here to extend their influence and conquer Skullport, with no connection to Halaster. I offered her to join us, but she refused. We kept our word and she ran away. Oh well, carry on.

Painting Yog-Sothoth (gibbering mouther)

Introduction

More aberrations! I don't even know where this mini is from.

December/January review & February goals

I skipped the December monthly review due to the yearly review, so here goes a summary.

Warhammer is still on hold. Thanks, COVID. D&D is back online (pun intended) and going forward as always. We managed to play a couple sessions of MAGUS, closing off the season before a longer planned pause. Wrath & Glory paused early in December, and did not get back off yet - I intend to regroup the party this week.

I got a couple of painting projects done, but not much, thanks to rediscovering PC games, after a year and a bit of absence (according to access logs). I had a playthrough of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood pretty close to finish, so I went through that, as well as Assassin's Creed: Revelations. I tried South Park: The Fractured but Whole, but found it "meh" and abandoned it a couple hours in. What caught me hard was XCOM 2. I customized some soldiers into the D&D party, as well as other friends and gaming buddies. I then had to take a break due to visiting relatives for the winter holidays, where I discovered an Android remake for XCOM: Enemy Within. A very competent remake, which sucked me in for the holidays. Then we got back and I finished XCOM 2. It was quite a binge, and I might take up XCOM 2: War of the Chosen one day, but I'll take a break for now. 

Painting awaits in February, the month of Bones. As in, some Reaper Bones minis that have been sitting in the cabinet for a year or so. And also the month of commissions. Some more simple Contrast stuff, as well as a bigger project which I took on as I'm being paid in cold, hard plastic. More minis for the mini throne.

Wrath and Glory: Plot twist

We spent about 1 - 1.5 hours to guide everyone through their tier advancement. Just as they were left with their shiny new upgraded characters, I told them to forget all about that, and pick other characters.
