A photo of a bulky-looking robot suit, almost anime-style I guess, with a huge gun on one arm. (Yes, they _are_ called Stealthsuits despite being the least stealthy-looking things you could think of!) It's painted in a sandy desert kind of colour with black accents, and the base is also a sandy desert with a tuft of a bright red alien grass on it.

Over two years since I put my Tau Stealthsuits together, and I've FINALLY decided on a paint scheme and actually painted one of them, haha.

A photo of a mottled brown lizard poking its blue tongue out.

We heard a terrible squawking noise out in the back yard, and it turned out to be a pair of Indian myna birds swooping this poor blue-tongued lizard. :( There was blood down the one side of its face, but as far as I could see it was just superficial scratches and nothing major. I managed to shoo out from the open where it disappeared under the fence and into the long grass of the neighbour's lawn and I think the mynas have lost it as this point.

A photo of five Space Marines, heavily-armoured warriors all wielding pistols and chainswords. They're painted a blue/grey colour, one shoulder pad is a rich yellow and the other is a dark red. The sergeant in the middle has no helmet on and I was able to paint his pupils, and for the other four with helmets on, their eye slits go from red on the outside to yellow on the inside. They're on snowy bases and the bases have little wintery grass tufts on them.

The decal-softening stuff arrived yesterday, and today it was low enough humidity and temperature that I could varnish them, so now my Space Wolves are all done! 🎉

Well, I need to wait until I can get some of this special decal-softening stuff so I can apply the Space Wolves logo to their shoulder pads before I varnish them and put the little wintery grassy tufts on the bases, but I'm so happy with how these Space Marines came out! I did full zenithal highlighting, and the sergeant's face isn't drybrushed, I actually painted the highlights on by hand. 😁 And check out his pupils, and the other Marines' eyes!

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying upside down on his back with just the tip of his tongue poking out of his mouth.

(Extremely David Attenborough voice) And here we have the very rare combination of upside down and blep!

A photo of two boxes of the Warhammer 40,000 terrain "Alchomite Stack". It's all pipes and vertical stacks, extremely industrial-looking, borderline steampunk.

I bought another couple of boxes of terrain because I realised that they can be constructed to perfectly fit on the "blocked" hexes on the Fireteam board!

Next will be to actually finish painting them... cough.

A photo of a packet of six sourdough crumpets, a 225g round of butter, six little portions of the same butter, a tub of crème fraîche, a jar of lemon curd, and a jar of blood orange marmalade.

Heeeeee, Kristina bought me a surprise and it was a little breakfast pack with these REALLY fancy crumpets and cream and things! ❤️ So delicious.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying upside down on the floor, and you can see his little teeth.

Beanie's really enjoying being upside down of late.

A photo of three tubs of texture paint (snow, snow sprinkles, and "Sandy Desert"), and a little packet of light green/brown grass tufts that look like they've got snow on the top of them.

I've been having lots of fun expanding my repertoire of bases for my miniatures, so I bought some more of those texture paints, and some wintery grass tufts!
