Paint Job The Butcher: From the brush to the lens
This guy has been a real journey. I started struggling with him even before the game, constantly rotating him, re-shooting, and trying to find the right angle.
A massive shoutout to an experienced painter who pointed out the flaws in my initial lighting and photography. That pushed me to go back and rework him.
What changed:
¡ Repainted the lanterns to make the glow pop physically.
¡ Re-emphasized the metallic edges.
¡ Fixed a few minor details, redid the framing, and softened the focus.
¡ Adjusted the color grading (just a tiny bit).
Finally feeling good about this version. What do you guys think?

Question Murder on a nemesis year with Collective Toil
Just got the Murder event on year 4 with Collective Toil and rolled a 4. According to the event card, all departing survivors gain 1 random fighting art this year. Does this apply to both the survivors departing to fight the Butcher and those fighting the quarry monster later this year? Those will likely be two different groups in my case, as I'm sending in a few spare unnamed survivors.

Campaign Story Historical records of the JaJa settlement. LY 6
Lantern year 6
Anton, Johan and Antonio made it back alive after killing the white lion. Turns out it was way easier to kill without honour (survival of the fittigaste)
A bunch of armoured strangers barged into the settlement and mucked about before leaving without picking up their litter. Unfortunately no one else could pick up their litter either, so the obviously mangled lantern with a bunch of dangerous sharp bits nailed to it stayed stuck standing in the ground. On the way out of the settlement one of the strangers told Johan that monsters are âactually kinda spookyâ, so now he has monster panic. After the armoured strangers had left, God shone his: lights in the sky(â˘) upon his chosen Johan and proclaimed that all who go on the next hunt gain +3 in each hit location. Seeing: lights in the sky(â˘), the settlement discovered the lord Jesus Christ (â˘) who helped them discover the (lantern) light inside of them (cancer). Jesus told them to not act sinfully, but the resident match makers Johannanas and Antonio reminded everyone that no friendship has ever been ruined by bouncing on it sexual style, so mAnton and 2 twins named Joes Bizarre adventure and Joes bizarre adventure season 2 were born. The dad is named Johoovah so god literally gave us the 2 best seasons of anime ever made (never seen the show).
Anton, Johan, Antonio and Johoovah departed to hunt the whiter lion. The hunters used to call it the superior white lion, but then Joan of Narch gained the disorder racism. This might explain why the JAJA leadership decided to rename the creature to the white lion level 2 in all subsequent settlement notation. During the hunt Anton remembered that he started to like tinkering after the last hunt, which made Johoovah suddenly remember that he had stone noses in his pocket. (Scribes attribute this to lack of sleep and a long pause between play sessions) Finding the white lion, the hunters charged furiously. Johan moved and the white lion rushed toward him. The lion swatted at Johan, claws digging in deep, but he managed to critically wound the lion's strange hand, the beast losing its ability to stroke it (-3 hp -1 move and cannot use grab). Johan had crippled the fiend with his first move. Taking advantage of the lion's newly weakened state Antonio smashed his club into the lion and struck its hind leg. Parts of the lion's kneecap burst from its joint and onto the ground further crippling it. Johoovah jumped out of the tall grass and stabbed the lion in its anus hard enough that it puked up its own skin onto him. The original JAJA settlement notes include a graphically detailed stone carving of this event. We as historians are saddened not to include it, but we as fellow human beings have decided to spare you from this image (gross). Antonio (shirtless) shrugged off the lion's attack as it bounced off his rock hard chiseled abs. His abs must almost have been as chiseled as the stone carving mentioned above (hot). Another successful chop from Johan's axe sent the lion sprawling, knocking it down to the ground. Despite it lying crippled on the ground Antonio still failed to punch it. Probably because he was blinded by the light reflecting off his perfectly shaped lats (hot). Thankfully the lion was also blinded by Antonio's muscles (very hot) which gave Anton the perfect opportunity to masterfully snipe the lion right between the eyes. Very impressive since he was standing behind its head (not as hot, but still hot)

Hobby First Paint Job Ever
This is my first attempt at painting a kingdom death monster miniature and my first miniature I have ever painted. I am working with speedpaints on a black primer which I know is not ideal for detailing. Let me know what your guys think and any tips/tricks you might have.

Campaign Story Kingdom Death: Monster â Lantern Year 3
Hunt and Preparation Phase. Having decided to hunt the Screaming Antelope for the first time, and being taught by bitter experience, we chose to leave Lucy behind in the settlement. Her spot was taken by a new survivor, Emily. The gear was distributed for specific tactical roles. Millicent continued her AI-deck manipulation strategy, armed with a bone sword and wearing a full Rawhide armor set. Saros, who kept his armor bonus from the previous "Lights in the Sky" event, went out in just a loincloth but carried a bone axe. Keiran put on an almost complete White Lion set and wielded the King's Spearâby design, he was the one supposed to chase down and pierce the fast Antelope. Emily received the Monster Grease, a bone sword, and Rawhide boots.
The hunt phase started in a quite peculiar way. The first event drawn was the Stampede, but we chose not to push our luck and tactically stepped back. The second card was a karmic blessing: Living Stone. We passed it perfectly, obtaining the stone face shards whose return I had just been contemplating earlier. This event also allowed us to set up an ambush for the monster. We lucked out with the terrain layout as well: along with the Acanthus and bugs, a giant stone face and a monster corpse appeared on the board. The stars aligned flawlessly.
Showdown Phase. We positioned ourselves to strip as many resources from the terrain as possible before the monster could start eating them to heal. The dice were on our side, with tens rolling one after another, allowing us to load up on resources. Kieran landed the first blow, immediately critically wounding the beast's hoof. From then on, whenever the Antelope attempted to move, it had a 1-in-10 chance to trip and fall flat on the ground (though we never actually rolled that specific result). Throughout the fight, the creature actively kicked and fell on its own, especially toward the end when its AI deck was down to just two Kick Back cards.
We made full use of our positional advantage and avoided any severe injuries. However, the price of victory was highâwe ended up breaking every single bone weapon we had against the beast's hide. In the final stretch, Kieran was running after it alone, methodically poking it to death with his spear. Thanks to the weapon's reach, failing wound attempts didn't bother him since the Antelope simply couldn't reach far enough to counterattack. The monster was defeated.
Settlement Phase. Upon our return, we were greeted by the Skull Eater event, and Emily became the one to consume the first skull. On the negative side, the dangerous Murder event was shuffled into the upcoming year's deck. On the bright side, Kieran gained weapon proficiency in battle, and we brought back Love Juice to trigger Intimacy. But the dice quickly reminded us what game we were playingâa natural 1 was rolled. Fortunately, we had wisely chosen survivors who hadn't participated in the hunt for this attempt. Our second attempt to increase the population was done via Augury, and it succeeded! The new survivor immediately gained bonuses from the Graves location and our chosen principle, "Survival of the Fittest." We also performed an experience transfer, giving Emily an additional +1 Strength on top of the bonus she already got from eating bones.
With the newly acquired resources, work began buzzing. We crafted first knuckle weapon from the Antelope's remains, a skull helm, bandages, and three Acanthus potions right away.
When everything goes a bit too well in KDM, the joy is quickly replaced by the anxious anticipation of impending doom. The Butcher awaits us next week, and a clash with him is inevitable.
P.S. I wrote a new musical themes on my noisebox specifically for the settlement and the Antelope showdown, and I will upload the tracks soon. On the material side, the storage box from Revamped Game performed excellently both for holding cards and treats. I also finally picked up a playmat for the game, and it is absolutely awesomeâit completely saves the original cardboard board from getting ruined, which would have definitely worn out. It looks like I'm into this game for the long haul.
