With the slaaneshi mortals done, time to start with the daemon side as well. I always dreaded the assembly and painting of this chariot model, and turns out it's... not quite that bad but it's pretty bad. I'm 100% sure that I put on at least some wheels in reverse. Oh well.

The adventurers got back into the middle of it, hearing the sounds of battle just around the corner. They creeped through a narrow tunnel, happening on a large confrontation between drow elves of houses Freth and Auvryndar, as well as their summoned demons.
With the steeds already painted, time for the riders to get done. I pinned them all to corks for this operation.
Another one-shot before holiday season is finally upon us. The adventurers arrived during winter time in a village plagued by disappearing children and monsters appearing out of nowhere.
I bought a bunch of sprues for bits, and the leftovers of a zombie dragon kit actually built this boy whole. Now he could not stand on his own, so I used a a length of sprue to have something for legs at an acceptable angle, then filled out the base using putty I wasn't terribly happy with my original ghouls, so I tried something else (but equally simple) here.

I bought the box of Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures: Dwarf Fighter Female specifically for our new D&D character, Brienne the paladin.
The players reunited after a month-long hiatus, but we got surprisingly much done in-game.
After the compulsory refresher on what happened last time, Zaaz[1] updated the adventurers on the roads to follow. Either back to the troglodytes, take the dark elves head on, or approach them from behind. The party opted for a good old fashioned ambush. Now, Zaaz explicitly mentioned that they shouldn't go near the hole in the ground. You can see where this is going.
This is probably the only miniature that I ever bought due to it being on sale.
Okay, probably not, but the only one I explicitly remember.

I initially thought of putting a LED inside this tank as well, but a) the interior is compartmentalized and a lot more complicated than the IG tanks b) I couldn't find a good enough exit point for the LED c) I wanted a smoke effect instead. So here's just the magnetized options.
This is a quick one, as I was off on holidays for most of August. Obviously, all games and hobby activities ceased in this period. I got in some D&D before, and we played two games of narrative Warhammer 40k. I plan to resume games as soon as possible in September.
Another contender for my time is Dragon Age Inquisition, which I played a good chunk of. Whenever real life hits hard, and my brain is overwhelmed, I turn to video games to wind down. They don't require as much of my brain power, compared to miniature painting.
Still, I painted some stuff. Publishing of articles carried on, with plenty of posts still written and prepared in advance. And now I'm back. I should finish some Guard infantry, some slaaneshi daemons, and some commissions as well.
Let's round it all off in September.
Having quickly recovered from the short battle with the troll, the adventurers were distracted by the sounds of thunder and screaming. Heading backwards, they discovered one of the dark elves on patrol hiding in magical darkness, with his comrade and their mounts ripped apart. Looks like the monster struck again! Examining the tracks and leaving, Antrius concluded that it must be a behir - a giant, many legged, magical reptile. They decided on following the direction of the tracks, running into a large cavern infested with piercers. They dropped from the ceiling one after the other...
