A photo of ten half-painted Nurgle poxwalkers. They're gross distended zombie-looking things with big bone spikes growing out of them, some have pink tentacles, there's lots of pustules all over their bodies, and they're brandishing all sorts of makeshift pieces of industrial equipment as weapons.

Okay, today's project (which I suspect will run into tomorrow) is going to be to get the rest of my Poxwalkers finished.

A photo of a Plague Marine from Warhammer 40,000. He's a big green lumbering armoured thing, he's got a grenade launcher-looking gun in one hand, the other is a tentacle, and he's got a fleshy tube thing going into his helmet like it's supplying oxygen (it's totally not oxygen though).

Plague Marine number two is done! I've got a third one as well, all three are from the "First Strike" mini 40K box set (someone at work bought it for the Space Marines but didn't have need of the Death Guard), but it's just one with a bolter which I've already got plenty of.

I DO have a box of seven more Death Guard on the way though, and they have lots of weapon customisation options. 😀

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog sitting in the doorway of our back room looking out into the backyard.

A photo of a Plague Marine from Warhammer 40,000. He's got green armour with skulls in various places, plus horns ripping through the armour on one shoulder and purple tentacles coming out from various armour joints. His head is corpulent and has pustules on it, and his abdomen has a large mouth with teeth bursting through the armour there. On the base is a white Imperial Guard helmet lying on the ground as though he's just killed them.

And we're done! Super-happy with how this came out. It's not entirely obvious from the photo, but I put glossy varnish on the skin and tentacles so it looks wet and extra gross.

A photo of a Plague Marine from Warhammer 40,000. He's fully painted except for drybrushing and the base, and it looks like there's been layers of paint and washes, except there hasn't been thanks to the magic of Contrast paint!

Have I mentioned how much I love Games Workshop's Contrast paints? With the exception of the metallic bits which are regular metallic paints with Agrax Earthshade over them, the rest of this is entirely a single layer of Contrast paint.

A photo of a home-made burger with tomato and cheese on it sitting next to a pile of corn chips on a plate.

Our NYE plans involve home-made beef burgers (spoiler: they were delicious), and rewatching Mad Mad: Fury Road in its full 4K HDR Blu-ray glory!

A photo of a partially painted Plague Marine from Warhammer 40,000. He's got tentacles coming out from various armour gaps, a giant mouth with teeth in it in his abdomen, and a bone spike coming out of his head.

And now it's time to make use of the newly tidied space to do some miniature painting for the first time in close to a year. Check out this handsome fellow!

A photo of a smallish room, with stuff against all of the walls but in a neat and tidy and actually arranged fashion.

Phew, that was one of the more productive New Year's Eves I've had... just spent the last two and a half hours cleaning and tidying our back room (the separate little structure that's in the back yard, not attached to the house itself).

A screenshot from Forza Horizon 4 of a black Ford Falcon GT-HO with its headlights on and a big mechanical air intake poking out of the bonnet, Mad Max-style. It's fairly dark and the car is driving through a bunch of tall trees with grey sky visible through them.

Ok, my cheerful yellow Falcon GT-HO now looks like it's something out of Mad Max. 😈 They've even animated the mechanical bit on the side that flips the air intake open when you press down on the accelerator, and it's VERY satisfying.

A photo of a Warhammer 40K Kill Team board with terrain in it. There's a bunch of industrial-looking bits at the right side, and some granite stony-looking craggy tiered cliffs on the left.

Went over to a friend's place today to play Kill Team! I played Tau this time, not having played them before, and it absolutely sucked. I killed one thing and that was it. Partially terrible rolling, but also the lack of guns I had with AP modifiers meant it felt like I was throwing ping pong balls at the enemy. Also my miniatures were shamefully unpainted.
