i knew id seen those bells from somewhere before.

apparently a Bulgarian thing. the dancers are called the Kukeri(singular:Kuker)

they ward off bad spirits. but also apparently dance for better harvest. which would kinda fit one of nurgle's idea of propagating life through decay.

I somehow always manage to forget what a huge shot in the arm it can be to just talk with someone else who's got a similar, enthusiastic mindset about toy soldiers for a half hour or so. Coming away from a wee chat like, "Yeah, I'm gonna go paint something!"

Played some more Underworlds last night and this time played somewhere with adequate lighting! Painting (at least the backs of) my models was worthwhile!

Another Death warband for the collection 😁

The Sons of Velmorn! Led by King Morlak (in his very fancy crown) and featuring his four sons, this excellent gang of wights are painted in my Deathrattle purple and join my ever expanding skeleton army 🤣

The new Space Wolves merch is actually quite tasteful? Only people in the know would realise that it’s 40K merch and there’s no symbols on it that could get you mistaken for a Nazi.

An Amazon warband posing on a small stepped platform with a desert background. Most have Greek armour. Some have sword and shields, some have a spear and one is a priestess. All have star heraldry.

Kheira and Lupan from Warhammer Underworlds. Two dangerous looking people wielding prehistoric weapons and decked in furs and skills. Kheira is hunched over, holding two axes in her hands. Lupan wears a skull as a full helmet and has a spear in one hand and a machete in the other. Both have been painted in bright colours

Continuing to clear out my backlog and you know what, Chaos deserves some colour. Finished tidying up the other undead warbands I've got, but also decided to blitz through this Gnarlspirit Slaves to Darkness band for Underworlds and decided they needed to be really bright. #nerdlings #warhammer

The Grymwatch. Warband for #WarhammerUnderworlds. Deluded flesh eating ghouls that think they are a high born Lord and his noble retinue. Not so!

My favourite royal scandal is King Eadwig having a threesome with his future wife *and her mother* on his coronation day.

The Eldar are kinda timeless, aren’t they? The other forces look their age.

So it didn't take home the top prize (but Silver!), but this piece is one of the best composed 40K dioramas I've ever seen. Searingly intimate, while also allowing your brain to fill in the larger battlefield. I'm in awe, and cannot get over it.

“AoS tapas” is a perfect description of Underworlds!

Warhammer Underworlds sculpts are just so fun.
I always want to paint more because it’s like a little bit of AoS tapas, where you get the flavours of a faction without getting bored.
If anyone wanted a warband painted by me I’d absolutely be up for a commission on this scale any time :)

I *love* stuff like this. In-universe reasons why parts of a collection look different over decades of painting and gaming? Bliss. Just tap it straight into my veins.
