My Skaven-playing brother (who also carried a Tyranids codex in his backpack) came by for a visit and as well as having a look at the progress of my GD-project, we had a game of Warhammer pitting (as usual) Wood Elves against Skaven. Looked like a Skaven victory, but came out a draw in favour of my Wood elves (it has to be said that in the warm-up game I got totally massacred).
Of other news I can say that I have decided to have another go with the Vallejo Model Colours and I quite like the results so far.
