That's really awesome of you! Wishing you and your friend the best of luck!

My new 3d printed Angaran Chronicles minis arrived today, including an awesome D&D Void Spawn that I plan on using as a Jaroai for my Angaran Chronicles TT Skirmish game. Began painting them. Mostly finished Jelcine and began on Wilom. Looking forward to playtesting my game with them and hopefully soon! I'm thinking of having the game use 2d12s rather than 2d10s as it might add a bit more nuance to the game and might make the higher modifiers not be so overwhelming against lower modifiers!

Anargrin is sent on another mission: to hunt down a rogue vampire. A rogue vampire with no consistent modus operandi and who is exceedingly good at hiding its tracks. So much so even the veteran Anargrin is forced into desperate speculation. But worst of all: drive him into desperate measures. Measures which drives Anargrin to wonder; does the ends, justify the means?

After finishing (mostly) my new Angaran Chronicles minis I began playtesting the TT Skirmish game trying out 2d12s and the new initiative system and, well, 2d12s seem to give the hordes a big advantage over individual characters with my horde rules, well, maybe. As there is a much higher average roll compared to 2d10s. I also kept forgetting things as my brain wasn't working well for some reason and I wasn't feeling well.
I tried another game with 2d10s and it seemed a bit more balanced but I should've tried it with the same layout of terrain, but I added some more so that helped my five-man elite team a lot against the 27-man horde team so I'll try it with 2d12s with the same layout as last next.
My mind was also better able to keep track of things due and so it was much more fun.

Starting to round up bitz and have found my unopened box of Perry miniatures Prussian infantry. The green stuff is on order. Tracking says the arrives some time tomorrow.
Going to set these models up as more imperial guard infantry squads.
Just looked at my blog to check, haven't worked on any models in nearly a year.
Hopefully I still have some unused 25mm bases. Guess I will be trying to find those today.

Began writing down the rules for my Angaran Chronicles TT Skirmish game today. Rules that have been rattling around my skull for a couple of years now. Feels pretty good to get it down on paper. I have done the character creation rules but not the gameplay rules themselves until now.

Typed more of my rules up for The Angaran Chronicles: The Skirmish Game (working title...maybe? lol)

Did quite a bit of that then did some work on my miniatures and did a concept mini for my 2nd bunch of fifteen Cultists that I'm going to use as proxies for playtesting the skirmish game. Looks pretty good. Did more work on my Void Spawn which is going to be a proxy for a Jaroai for the Skirmish game and the Reaper Shoggoth I bought ages back that represents the token for the summoning of the Jaroai.

Fixed up the face of my Raleas mini from the Angaran Chronicles and did a bit more work on the power sword of an Attelus Kaltos from Secret War mini and a little fixing of his face.

And uhh, yeah, sorry about my over-description of the things I did lol

I saw a picture where someone used the carapace of a Blight Hauler in place of the regular carapace on an Armiger Knight to make it more Nurgly.
That's a really good idea!

So today I'm copying them.

More typing up of my Angaran Chronicles: Skirmish game rules and finally began painting my Lelith in earnest.

I took a break from painting and began assembling my Orlock gangers and I'm happy to say they're perfect as proxies for my Angaran Chronicles game. The powerfist aside their load outs seem to work well with Diesel Punk technology. They'd be perfect for a veteran gang warband (coincidentally lol) They're also an easy and fun kit to assemble and the detail is excellent.

Want to assemble my Krieg vet guard next as they would make for excellent proxies too, too bad about their lasguns though.

Not much today, but with my cousin's P&P RPG game being on today, I decided to do a bit more work on the Hero Forge mini of my PC, and he's looking better, not finished, though. I did a bit of fixing and such on other minis, including my new Hero Forge mini of Raleas Effernetti, and realised the way I painted; I accidentally made her look a bit like the singer Dua Lipa, lol

A bit more work on my Lelith today she's looking okay. Uhh and the Hero Forge mini of the villain of my novel The Angaran Chronicles: The Underside, Kalthasin, whom I'm declaring finished because frig it. Also took a few photos of the recently reassembled team of my Angaran Chronicles main characters. From left to right it's Emilia in Werewolf form, Emilia, Raleas Effernetti, Anargrin, Jelcine and Wilom. The new minis are Jelcine, Wilom and Raleas. And does Raleas look like Dua Lipa? I think she does lol

By far the most exciting thing I've taken part in since returning to the hobby six years ago, and honestly enjoying the reports provided by fellow players. Highly recommended!

I work 3rd shift... So tonight I will be finishing up a squad of 5 Heavy Intersessors, 3 Aggressors and a Leviathan Dread.
If I get them out of the way fast enough (minus decals) I will move on to my second squad of 5 Heavy Intersessors. Once they are complete I will have finished 1000 points of Imperial Fists since the new year.
The next chunk will be a second Leviathan, another 5 Heavy Intersessors, 5 Hellblasters, 3 Eradicators, 3 Eliminators and a Chaplain on Bike. I'll start posting pics once I reach the 1000 point mark.

Opened the Primaris Outriders set to build it. Saw that it has zero additional options and the Sgt has no helmet. Given every model in my army has a helmet this is beyond irritating so back in the box they went until I can go through my bitz box to remedy this.
