A photo of the ten miniatures that are my Corsair Voidscarred squad. They're essentially space elf pirates, all their armour is elegant and flowing and a rich burgundy colour, and they have cool turquoise capes. They're branding various ranged and close-combat weapons, and several of them have brightly-coloured mohawks. They each have a personalised name plate attached to the front of their bases, with a smaller bit of text on top that gives the unit type ("Fate Dealer", "Soul Weaver", "Way Seeker", and other such cool-sounding things), and a larger piece of text along the bottom that gives the unit's actual name, which are all sort-of Celtic feeling.

There we go, the nameplates for my #KillTeam Voidscarred are done and attached!

A photo of a Warhammer Underworlds game board. It has hex tiles on it, and the artwork looks like the inside of a cave. Closest to the camera are Skittershank's Clawpack, which consists five ratmen in various dynamic poses (one of them is in the middle of leaping over a smoke bomb he's just set off). At the other end of the board are the six goatmen of Grashrak's Despoilers: two are larger and more intimidating looking, one is holding a giant axe in the air and is gripping the head of someone he just decapitated, and the other four are smaller and shabbier, wielding bows and spears.

We played some more Warhammer Underworlds tonight, my sneaky tricksy Skaven versus @yayKM's filthy goatmen. I ended up winning 11-8 but MAN was it tight right up until my very last activation of the whole game. The attacks I made in my second last and last activations were absolutely critical, because had I flubbed them — or had @yayKM successfully defended — she would have won 8-5 instead. Fully SIX glory came from killing her leader (two for killing him because he was a Large fighter, and another four from three different objectives)!

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on a green fuzzy blanket exactly where my chair and feet go when I'm sitting at my computer desk.

I turned my chair around and moved it slightly out from my desk so I could talk to @yayKM (her desk is directly behind mine in our home office), and Beanie immediately manoeuvred his blanket in under my desk and made himself comfortable on it. 😑

A photo of ten rounded nameplates that attach to the front of the base of a Warhammer miniature. There's a big section around the base with the unit's actual name and then a smaller section on top with what type of unit they are. The unit names are sort-of Celtic as befits Aeldari, and the types include cool things like "Shade Runner", "Felarch", "Way Seeker", and "Fate Dealer".

A few weeks ago I came across a post where someone had taken photos of their Warhammer 40,000 Kill Teams squad that had little nameplates on the front. Turns out there's a place in the UK that 3D prints custom nameplates with your own text on them in a variety of styles and fonts (https://www.versatileterrain.co.uk) so I ordered some for my Voidscarred and they arrived today! They're very cleverly attached to the printing bases only at the very back of the plate, so I'm going to leave them as they are for ease of painting and only chop them off right at the end of the process once they're all done and ready to go onto the miniature bases.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying completely upside-down in a patch of sunlight. Both of his back legs are sticking straight out and you can see his top row of teeth because his mouth is slightly open.

Best spot in the house.

A photo of a game of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team played on two regular boards. The terrain is a bunch of steampunk-looking walls and the boards have artwork on them that looks like the inside of an ancient rusty starship. At the bottom left are my miniatures, nine lithe space elves in fucshia armour and turquoise cloaks. At the top are fourteen just human troopers, and at the bottom left are fourteen essentially also human troopers but all corrupted and evil.

Three player Kill Team today! ...it did not go well for me and wasn't even close. We only got through two turns and I only scored one single victory point right at the end of the second turn. I killed stuff, but my initial positioning was poor and tried to do too much at once, especially since I had only nine miniatures compared to the fourteen of the other two teams. By the end of the second turn I was down to only three miniatures left, the friend in second was down to I think four, and the friend in first still had ten out of his fourteen starting.

A photo of a finished game of Carcassonne. It consists of a bunch of square tiles with medieval castles, roads, and churches on them, with green grass in between. Normally there'd be a bunch of little coloured wooden people on it to signify who has controlled what in terms of scoring points.

A photo of a game of King of Tokyo. This is much less involved, there's three cutouts of monsters standing upright and a small board with a cartoon version of the coastline of Tokyo and its buildings, plus a number of cards with cartoony artwork on them.

We went over to @[email protected]'s for board games tonight! First was a four-player game of Carcassone, which is the first time I've played it physically, which I won 62-48-43-39 (though forgot to take a photo of the board before the scoring was done), and two three-player games of King of Tokyo which we'd not even heard of before but was quite fun. @[email protected] won both games of King of Tokyo, the first one wasn't even close thanks to a whole bunch of ridiculously good dice rolling, but the second came down to the absolute wire between him and @yayKM and it really could have gone either way.

A photo of an electric guitar and an electric bass guitar sitting in gig bags open on the floor. A small scruffy blonde dog is giving them a good sniff.

We're going over to a friend's place in a couple of weeks for a barbecue and some music-playing, which I'm very excited about because I haven't actually played guitar with anyone else before. I realised that I didn't actually have any safe way of transporting said guitars though, so ordered a couple of guitar gig bags. I got a properly nice official Ibanez one for my JIVA since that's the expensive one, and a cheap and cheerful $50 one for the bass guitar which ought to do the job sufficiently for that. Naturally Beanie had to give them a solid sniffing.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog curled up on a green blanket that's been rolled-slash-balled up right in front of a doorway.

Beanie has very carefully moved his blanket to be EXACTLY in the way in the doorway.
