Greetings, progress is being made. Some more models are destined for the painted cabinet of model paradise, watched by the jealous semi painted existing in the purgatory that is my work in progress table. This update is a mixed bag of stuff that will be adorning tables in a scenario near you! Without any more bullcrap here is the stuff;
Some Fungii
A while back I put some dosh into a kickstarter that I thought had some great potential for my Warhammer Fantasy revival and several months later I got some stuff done. Not quickly enough to get them into a game but very soon I hope. They're from Dungeons & Lasers and it was the Encounters campaign. Apart from adorning battlefields of the 41st Millennium they can be stuck into my WFB mysterious woods when they turn out to be fungus forests and they scupper plans.

Blind Beggar Hybrid Priest
Here's a model that took ages to complete as there was too much robe and not enough demarkation to make it fun to paint. Also I had started painting it pre contrast paints and couldn't be arsed to respray and start over. In the end some fishy motifs on the robes (hopefully) give off a fishman priest vibe. Doesn't really matter as it is unlikely he'll see much tabletime as anything other than a foul alien to purge.

Crooked Dice Civilians
Crooked Dice have some bloody brilliant models mainly civilians and these are from the Colony 87 range. The Rolling Messiah and Unit L-Ron are below from the street trader range. Very nice models, dripping with character. The guy in the go cart can gain employment as a preacher with the Astra Militarum as a preacher if my crusade adversaries will allow it, the other can be a quantity surveyor for the AM if they ever get a proper resource management specialist game. Failing that, the mobility cart human can be used as a model representation of Revs Cantalope; tank commander in the Scargill Planetary Defence Force who lost his legs doing his duty defending Scargill from the thrice accursed Tau of Pur'La sept. Bastards. The other guy could be the quartermaster of the PDF of that highly busy planet.
Single White Guardsman
Here's one half of a Catachan Weapons team double act. I'm sure I have painted up the loader so this guy can make my units more symmetrical. Once again the base was adorned with some throttled alien fauna that trooper Gunn killed while waiting for the orders to move out.

Demo Charge Cultist
According to the internets Acolyte Cultists with demo charges are the way to go if you want to win. As I nearly always buckle to social media pressure I made a hybrid armed with said equipment. It's am old Tyranid Attack hybrid from the early nineties with a modern demo charge arm. Mainly because it's far easier to recognise the dynamite in it's claw than continually explain to my opponent what it is. Contrast paints once again make this model froody.

Fake Mandrakes
Lastly on the list are some stl files for some faux Drukhari mandrakes. A few months ago a regular adversary of mine Aaron got hold of a 3d printer. I found him a free file for Mandrakes as they weren't available on the GW website and an unspecified time later I had enough for two units. These are also very important in the tournament meta. I don't play tournament games but I do like the idea of them so expect to see them on some battlefields in the future.

| I think I'll give these a cool sounding name like unit A. |

| These will get the even cooler name of unit B. |
So that's the update for this week. Eighteen models to enhance my hobby life and provide a tiny bit of serotonin if someone actually comments on them (except for those arsehole bots that put a link in the comments). I bid you farewell and have a good hobby.
