Went 2-1 at the First Founding AoS one dayer today with Kruleboyz, three great games. Kruleboyz are a lot of fun but my brain hurts now.

A game of AoS in progress. My sludgeraker and a lone boltboy are facing off against some ogor cavalry.

Took Morgok's Krushas to an Underworlds tourney today, lost my first game but then submarined to 4-1 and took third. Sometimes it is nice to play a less thinky warband and just charge things.

Two orc miniatures from the Morgok's Krushas Underworlds warband. They're painted with yellow armour and green skin.

Recently finished the 'new' models and am feeling like I've hit the end of the road with deepkin (for now...) so with a bit of help from @ghbair.bsky.social took a snap of my entire collection. Definitely the army I am most happy with!

Great day playing Burrows and Badgers, my group of bandit otters did not cover themselves in glory but they had fun trying.
