So, here we are. Already a quarter done in the year, which I have not yet come to terms with. My progress towards my goals has continued well however, and it's probably about time I painted something for myself that wasn't a Tyranid....
1. Paint something bought before 2024
Tada! Look, it's not a Tyranid!
The Wurmspat are the last Warhammer Underworlds warband that I own, themed all around the gifts of Grandfather Nurgle. I decided to paint these as a palatte cleaners, I was getting really sick of the tyranid colour scheme, and a big commission that I had been completed. I just needed somethign that was small, contained and would be a chance to use a bunch of colours that I hadn't been using.

| The three Wurmspat |
 |
| So much tiny detail! |
 |
| The first close up.... |
 |
| The second close up.... |
 |
| The third close up.... |
But not only that, over the Easter weekend I got my airbrush out and finished off some DAK tanks for the first time in..... months. This was to make sure I had the tank options that a friend needed when they borrow the army for an upcoming tournament.

| Two Tigers, looking swish in the weathered desert scheme |
 |
| One of them brought a Panzer III along as a buddy! |
 |
| And two StuG D for good measure |
The Tigers and Panzer III come from Battlefront Miniatures, the StuG Ds come from Zvezda.
2. Paint something bought in 2024
You didn't really think I was going to not paint Tyranids this month right?
 |
| The Harpy. Such a great model, so very bad in the game |
 |
| I'm super happy with how the wings have worked out on this! |
 |
| More Barbgaunts! |
 |
| Even more Barbgaunts! |
 |
| Trygon! |
 |
| Back of Trygon! |
 |
| Norn Emissary |
 |
| "Do you have a moment to talk about the Great Devourer" |
I'm VERY close to the 2,000 point list that I'll be running at Valleycon in a month or so (eeek!)
3. Play a game of 40k each month
I managed a couple of games this month- it saw the Tyranids fighting the combined forces of the Black Templars and Imperial Knights....
 |
| Canis Rex killed many, many bugs |
 |
| But once the Psychophage peeled back the armoured shell, Sir Hektur didn't last long.... |
And then the Tyranids decided to munch on some living metal Necrons....
 |
| The Norn spreading the good news |
 |
| Many Necrons! |
 |
| Imhotek the Stormlord got eaten by a Psychophage. Nom nom nom |
The extra special bit about fighting the Necrons was that the army was painted up by McB and I, meaning that this game was the first time they had ever been used, and was a great way to share the brand new army with the person who commissioned it!
Plus, I'd never played vs Necrons before, so it was a blast!
4. Play a game of not-40k each month
The initial plan for this was to play Underworlds, but timing didn't work. So instead, over the Easter weekend the kids and I played Gaslands!
The kids did some extra paint jobs to some Gaslands cars I had already completed, and we played a slightly simplified (but admittedly not by much) version of the game.
 |
| The cars racing! |
 |
| Missile vs Police Car was.... unfortunate for my police car..... |
And that's it, on to April. Yes, April will still have more Tyranids...
Pooch
