A photo of a Necron Warrior from Warhammer 40,000. It's a skeletal metal robot-looking thing, but resembling a zombie in that it's looks like it's shambling, and the head is very Terminator-esque and looks like a skull. Its eyes are green and it's wielding a long alien-looking rifle. The base of the miniature is a rich red colour like the Australian outback and all cracked like the earth is insanely dry.

Got my first Necron done! I kept it pretty simple since I have another nine of them to paint. Check out that base, it's this special paint called Martian Ironearth from Games Workshop that cracks as it dries!

A photo of three boxes of Warhammer 40,000 miniatures: Ork Nobz (thuggish-looking greenskinned aliens with big teeth and a motly assortment of armour and guns), Astra Militarum Tempesus Scions (armoured human soldiers) and a troope of Aeldari Harlequins (lithe humanoid aliens in multicoloured clothing all in dynamic poses, all wearing white harlequin masks).

Got all the boxes I need to create the six squads for Fireteam now. I'd SAY that's the last of the miniature purchases for a while, but we all know that's a filthy lie. 😅

A photo of a Tyranid Genestealer. It's an Alien-esque creature with a long tongue and four arms with huge claws on it. Its skin is dark red and it's got a black carapace and all four arms have hands with huge yellow claws on them. The base looks like muddy ground with small swampy-looking grasses on it.

A photo of a Space Marine Reiver painted in Space Wolves colours (primarily blue-grey with a yellow shoulder pad). He's heavily-armoured with a helmet that has a skull design on the front, and is aiming a pistol and wielding a huge combat knife in the other hand.

I've been doing a bit of experimentation with my miniature painting! First was finding a good colour scheme for my Tyranids and also using the "Muddy Ground" texture paint and little grass tufts I bought back in October.

The second has been "zenithal highlighting" where you base coat in black and then do a second prime with a lighter colour just from above, where the light would be hitting it. Very pleased with both!

A photo of a little bowl of ice cream with hot fudge on top and multi-coloured sprinkles.

We also made ice cream this morning!

A photo of a bowl of spaghetti with bolognese sauce on top, all covered in grated Parmesan cheese.

I made myself a batch of Quorn-based spaghetti bolognese yesterday, had the first one for lunch today and it's excellent. I'm not sure I'd really have noticed it wasn't beef if I wasn't paying attention!

A photo of two pieces of damper (essentially very basic bread), with flour on top. They've split weirdly in the middle along the horizontal axis though, so it looks like the top half is slowly sliding off the bottom.

On the back of the giant sack of bread flour I've got there's a few recipes for various things, and one of them is damper. I decided to finally get around to making it and it looks pretty good, though I'm not entirely sure what happened with the splitting there.

A photo of four vampire miniatures, all heavily armoured. One is bald and is holding a huge mace vertically in front of him, the second has long black hair and he's wielding a sword and has one hand up in front of him as if he's doing a Darth Vader-style Force crush. The third is a very buxom lady in an armoured corset wielding two swords, with CRAZY long purple hair. The last is hunched over and looks like he's hissing, he's got a one-handed mace and big bat wings.

I finished the leader of The Crimson Court back in September but hadn't been feeling in the painting mood apart from that. I finally got around to finishing the rest of the warband now! (Though as is becoming a theme lately, I need to wait for it to be not hot or humid in order to get the varnish done so I can then put the blood effects on top of that).

A photo of four boxes of Warhammer 40,000 miniatures. Kabalite Warriors and Wyches for the Drukhari (think sadistic space elves), and Neophyte Hybrids and Acolyte Hybrids for the Genestealer Cults (the Neophytes are broadly human but with heads that are slightly too bulbous and alien-looking, the Acolytes are humanoid but with 3 arms and heads more like the alien from the movie Alien).

I think my favourite thing about Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team is that you you can dip your toes into ALL the factions without having to spend an arm and a leg making a full army (plus the subsequent time expenditure of painting them). It's pretty much, "Buy a couple of boxes of the basic troops and bam, you've got a squad."
