Happy New Year from Sydney, fediverse! Beanie was enjoying watching the fireworks on TV.

A photo of a very large combination demon/bat monster thing. It's hard to describe but it's got red leathery-looking skin like a demon, brown fur on various parts of its body, and running along the inside of its arms are what look like vestigial wings. It's face looks like a bat and the whole thing is hunched over, and it's standing next to a normal-sized skeleton warrior that is less than half its height, even crouched like it is. On the base is a pile of skulls, mostly humanoid but with a very large ogre skull sitting in the middle of the pile.

FINALLY did some more painting tonight! I'm working on the Vargskyr from Warhammer Quest, the huge bat/demon thing that's the first of the big bads we need to kill in the campaign and I want to make sure it's actually properly painted before we kill it. 😅 The Vargskyr itself is done, I just need to do the basing for it. I'm making good use of the box of skulls I got for Christmas to make a much more interesting-looking base, and I've included one of the skeleton warriors to give a sense of scale of just how enormous this thing actually is.

I also didn't realise I hadn't done any of the Warhammer Quest miniatures since August. 😬 Just haven't been in the painting headspace I guess, but hopefully this'll get me back.

A photo taken from my perspective looking straight down towards the floor. I'm standing in front of the kitchen counter where there's a partially sliced round loaf of bread on the cutting board, and standing right by my feet looking directly upwards is a very hopeful-looking small scruffy blonde dog.

The SECOND I start cutting into the bread, Beanie is over like a shot waiting for fallout and the inevitably scrappy end piece I give him.

Related, my kingdom for some sort of household-sized automatic bread slicing machine like Coles and Woolies have in their bakeries.

A photo of a bottle of Kraken spiced roast coffee rum, a Boss "Blues Driver" guitar pedal, a box of 300 miniature skulls for decorating my various Games Workshop miniature bases, and a black t-shirt with a dark on the front that looks like Darth Vader but he's made up of the Death Star and Storm Troopers and TIE Fighters.

Christmas loot!

Beanie is demanding his pre-bed scritches.

A photo of my iPad sitting on our elliptical machine's tablet holder. On the screen is the classic image of the stargate from the show "Stargate SG-1": a large circular metal-looking ring with Egyptian hieroglyphs around the outside, and the middle is filling with a blue glowing almost-liquid.

Time to start some more classic 1990s TV!

I'm about 95% sure this is going to end up in the same boat as Star Trek, both TNG and DS9, and I'll remember a handful of episodes but haven't actually seen the vast majority of them before.

A photo of the front of our house, to the left is the front door and in the middle of the photo is a big box window with a little garden in front of it. The garden has wooden beams separating it from the lawn and is covered in red mulch. There's two tall conifers in white pots in the middle, two, uh... I'm not sure what type of trees they are, but they're smaller and in blue pots to either side of the conifers, then some fairly sad-looking lavender also in blue pots in front of those. There's also a small jade plant and a kalanchoe in little pots at the left of the garden, and a little happy cow statue that's had most of the paint on it completely worn away.

Good weather for some gardening today, I (mostly) straightened the conifers, trimmed the lavender, and put some fresh mulch down.

A photo of a three-player game of Warhammer Underworlds. There's three rectangular boards with hex tiles on them in an inverted-T shape, the art on the boards looks like the inside of a cave. At the left are the five Skaven ratmen of Skittershank's Clawpack, at the right are the three heavily armoured human(ish) warriors of the Gorechosen, and at the top are three heavily armoured green orks.

A closeup photo of one of my little Skaven surrounded by the three orks of the Krushas that are absolutely looming over him.

We went over to @[email protected]'s this afternoon to introduce him to Warhammer Underworlds! He played Morgok's Krushas, @yayKM had the Gorechosen of Dromm, and I played Skittershank's Clawpack, which in retrospect was a terrible choice because the Clawpack inspire by killing enemy leaders, and both the enemy leaders had 5 wounds. I was also extremely let down by multiple poor rolls, and @[email protected] ended up winning at 17-15-5. Definitely keen for another game soon, but I'll definitely NOT be taking the Clawpack again against those two warbands. 😛

One of my little Skaven minions got HORRIBLY ganged up on by all three of the Krushas, he weathered two of their attacks but sadly couldn't make the final one and ended up getting extremely squished.

A photo taken from my perspective looking down at my lap while I'm sitting on our lounge. A small scruffy blonde dog is lying on his side half asleep, with his back hard against the back of the lounge, and his head jammed against and slightly on my right hip.

Beanie has made himself extremely comfortable on my hip while we're watching a doco.
