October has been a bit slower for games. but I did get a few things done for painting.
With it being October, I was going to do some zombies and skeletons for the season and run some type of Song of Blades and Heroes for my friends or family. With little interest, I didn't really pursue this idea for long.
Instead I painted up some of the Slaad I had, the bigger one is a blue slaad inspired by this picture.
These Slaad are a range of challange ratings for D&D, from 5 to 9, making them a pretty good challenge for any seasoned adventuring party.
One of the members on Hunters of the Warp facebook page posted on a WIP Wednesday his 3rd edition Dark Eldar models. This post made me a bit nostalgic of my first "army", I didn't really have much money when I started playing Warhammer. My buddy, Pilon, picked up the 3rd edition starter set that featured Dark Eldar and Space Marines in it. He would lend me the Kabalite Warriors in the box and I bought my own wyches to paint and play. Not the most competitive force, as with modern Eldar, you definitely need some fast transport vehicles to protect your modestly dressed masochistic elves.
Eventually, Pilon did give me the kabalite warriors, but I did sell them off awhile back. A few years ago I did start buying metal wyches to make a Dark Eldar Kill Team.

| Weapon loadouts have changed quite a bit since 3rd edition. |
For these five I picked out what I felt looked cool, but this doesn't make much for Kill Team (or probably not 40k) as the Agonizer is for Hekatrix only. The Shredder isn't an option anymore, but could count as a Phantasm Grenade Launcher (again Hekatrix only). I guess that gives me options for loud outs.
I'd run these wyches as such:
Leader - Hekatrix - Agonizer, Splinter Pistol - 11pts
Specialist - Zealot - Shardnet and Impaler - 11pts
Non- specialists
Wych - pistol and hekatarii blade - 8pts (as the Shredder isn't an option)
Wych - pistol and hekatarii blade - 8pts
Wych Fighter - Razorflails - 11pts.
Total: 49pts
Hope to add some Kabalite Warriors that I picked up from Ebay, once they get here.

I have also finished up all the Necromunda barricades & objective marks that I bought with rules and some templates off eBay earlier this year.
As with last year, I will be doing Minivember, creating a list of 30 models to finished off by the end of November. Last year, I didn't quiet complete the challenge. These year's list has quiet a few Character models, which might slow me down a bit. I hope to complete some units that I painted last year, focusing on full scale Warhammer instead of Kill Team.
New to this year though, is that I forced convinced Rachel to finish off some of her models. When she discovered just how many mouslings she has mostly finished or finished without a base, she wanted to get them done and minivember might give her the motivation to get it done. She also has her Warcry Sylvaneth and the expansion Scythe figures to complete a 7 player Scyche set. (which we have had talk of starting a Rise of Fenris campaign in the future)
I'll most likely post updates on my Instagram, and any finished models on here once I get them done.
Next on the Hobby Desk
Minivember updates, if you want to join in just pick out your own figures that have been haunting your hobby desk and get them done!
