Took my fat boys out for a spin tonight. Great list, good game.

Hong Kong born Kiwi living in Germany. I post about AoS, mostly Skaven. Also video games and music sometimes.
Some more Old World campaign tonight against Cathay. The dwarfs started strong taking out all the jade warriors but they could not reach the guns, and got munched by the shugengan.
I knew they would eventually start designing abilities that can be used by both a unit on the table, and the actual player at the table.
Finished my Araby Tomb Raiders warband for our upcoming Mordheim campaign.
I did in fact, only remember about rage dice twice over the 3 games.

Im glad we got rid of those immersion breaking objective markers in 40k.
Another Old World Campaign game. Assaulted the Orc castle in a sort of siege game. Ended up in another draw!
These must be the spicy aqshy scrolls for people who find pepper spicy.
Another cheeky game of Old World last night. Just 1k points vs some orcs. Probably need some more range or different units. A bunch of melee infantry all attacking each other ended in an almost exact draw.
Playing some Old World tonight. 1250 pnts. Chaos Dwarfs vs Normal Dwarfs.
@russellcroweaos.bsky.social bro, the tips for painting yellow from your stream were a big game changer this week. Helped me break a hobby block I was struggling with. Can't wait for the videos!
Blunderboys 95% done. Just need to make some banners and get some static grass.
Getting closer to finishing the blunderers, and made a start on the centaurs.
Chaos Dwarf highlighting update. Just like their movement speed, it's slow but steady.
Working on my first three lads, happy with how they are coming on. And completed the skin and eyes of the other blunderers.
Got the basing all finished last night. Priming and some basecoats hopefully today.
Played my first game of Old World tonight. Local club had a narrative campaign so we had a mega 5v5 battle for the intro. The chaos dwarfs had to join with the Cathay pirates and some non chaos dwarfs, in order to take on the greenskin, demon and ogre hordes.
Building some bases for my chaos dwarfs. First time in 4 years not making/painting the same skaven scheme.
My new chaos dwarf project arrived today. Got a lot of it cleaned and assembled so far. Need to get some stuff to build the banners next.
Seller on etsy I bought some figs from this week messaged me saying that he appreciated the large order, and noticed that I didnt add a command group for one of the units, and was going to add them in for free in addition. Now that's customer service.
Had some money saved up for the new eshin stuff. But a combination of hard to get boxes to split, the new rules that I don't like, and that I could just rebase my current ones, meant I spent that money on a 500pnt old world army instead.
Expanding the skaven beyond the battletome with some new RoRs, but couldn't not make them out of rats.
Solid progress today. Got all the edges cleaned up, brick borders placed and some of the mud added.
Deciding to make custom bases for my skaven is a decision I made years ago, with devastating consequences. Like today's task of new bases for the next underempire expansion:
