12 Squigs for my Squig Herdaz, finally canceling out the Hobgrot purchase - with one model extra to once again climb the silver platform! Eagle-eyed readers may notice Daemonsmith Rosi in the background taking a keen interest in one of the squigs, and the one with the perfect pose for it as well.
And here they are already!
The last 10 Squig Hoppers. I have now painted 100 models, which is not to shabby for me. And I would have gotten away with the gold if it weren’t for those meddling kids…
Painted the first five characters for my Night Goblins. Overall not too much hassle, the Squigs were much more difficult with the pre-shading and the glazing and so on.
My BATG is everything you need to know between heaven and earth, it’s the alpha and the omega, it’s the kiss of the sun setting on a hoarfrost covered leaf after the darkest night and the final sigh of a sundown as it gently sinks beneath the sparkling blue of the eternal ocean.

Light and Shadow for the BATG this week.
A former colleague started painting Warhammer models recently (never would have expected!), so she and two other former colleagues (one of which is my regular gaming buddy) decided to do a little thing together. We’ll all paint up a Warhammer Underworlds warband as a little social thing, then play the game, since she also never played Warhammer. I mean I just finished my Zarbag’s Gitz, but I didn’t want to miss out on a friendly painting thing, think it’s much more motivating if everyone joins in. Plus it gave me the opportunity to get last year’s runner-up for GW model of the year…
If I understood the concept of voting I would definitely have cast in favor of Mr Crabs. Tried many o times to loot him from eBay auctions but was always outbid.
Phew! This one really kept me up at night. The first of the new Gloomspite models released and I knew I had to have him. It was love at first sight! And in a way it was the thing which restored a little faith into AoS as a whole in me. If they could release a model like this, which I could very well use with my Night Goblins, maybe there was hope after all? And sure enough, soon after they released new Squigs and they were all awesome.
And now I’ve finally painted it.
I’m back from my vacation and within hours of returning I headed into my local GW, which is completely bonkers for me God that place is almost cringe by now. I haven’t had a proper hobby shop in decades and wouldn’t mind one, but my GW couldn’t be it.
Anyway, I just had to had to model of the month. And since it was delayed in Germany until 9/24, I was actually able to still grab one. Nice.
