A photo of a partially painted Aeldari miniature (think "space elf"). She's wearing elegant fuchsia-coloured armour with a dark turquoise cape flowing behind her and a bunch of dark leather pouches across her chest, and is holding two bone-coloured alien-looking pistols, one pointing like she's about to shoot and the other one behind her pointing upwards. She's got a cool-looking rebreather on that has an integrated targeting set up over one eye, and she's got a bald head except for a big tall top knot.

Definitely happy with this colour scheme I settled on for my Corsair Voidscarred! Not bad at all for an hour and a half's work so far. She's not finished obviously, and I still need to get some more paints to do the highlights with, but I think I'll be able to get her done this weekend.

A photo of ten undercoated miniatures. Their armour is all quite elegant-looking as befits space elves, but they've got a lot of little details that make them look more like pirates. Everyone has a cool cloak, and the majority of them have very punk-looking haircuts (undercuts, mohawks, topknot ponytails) and are wearing rebreathers. Their poses are all mid-action.

The cover of the Warhammer 40,000 Second Edition army rulebook for the Eldar. The artwork on the front is classic Games Workshop, an exquisitely-armoured Eldar warrior standing atop a piece of rock, wielding a sword above his head. There's TONS of warriors in the background and all sorts of tanks and guns being shot, though they're all similarly elegant-looking Eldar warriors and tanks.

Got my Kill Team Corsair Voidscarred all assembled and undercoated!

They're such great miniatures, and I've always had a soft spot for the Aeldari (previously known as the Eldar until Games Workshop did their Great Renaming a number of years ago). They were my very first Warhammer 40,000 army when I first got into it back in 1995, and I still have the Second Edition Codex: Eldar. All the Aeldari are basically space elves, and the Corsair Voidscarred are pirate space elves which is even more fun. (There's also the cousins of the Aeldari, the Drukhari — previously known as the Dark Eldar — who are BDSM space elves. I assembled and primed a Kill Team squad of them back in November last year.)

A photo of the end game state of a Scrabble board.

And tonight we continued with the board games by playing Scrabble for the first time in... I'm not even sure how many years. I won 312 to 253, though was extremely helped by getting both the only Q and the only Z.

A photo of six adults (and one very red-haired three year-old) smiling at the camera.

We went over for a barbecue and games at @[email protected]'s place today! Most excellent fun, next plan is for me to make another pulled pork during the day and then go over and introduce everyone to Warhammer Underworlds, aw yiss.

A photo of a dinner plate with a bed of golden mashed potato with a layer of beef mince on top, covered in chopped-up red capsicum and with a healthy dose of chipotle Tabasco sauce on top, and a big dollop of sour cream next to the mash.

Oh man, @yayKM made a nacho... mash... thing for dinner and it was SO GOOD.

A photo of a Warhammer Underworlds board and miniature. The board is covered in hex tiles and the art on it looks like tree roots and the inside of a cave. Closest to the camera are five Skaven (rat-men assassins) in various dynamic poses (one is leaping over a smoke bomb he's just set off), and facing them are three heavily armoured human warriors of Chaos, and a less heavily-armoured wizard who is wielding a staff and looks like she's in the middle of casting a spell.

Mid-week Warhammer Underworlds with @[email protected]!

This time it was me playing the tricksy Skaven, Skittershank's Clawpack, and him playing Khagra's Ravagers. I'd played the Clawpack once before and it went disastrously poorly, but it seems to depend entirely on the cards you draw and when. This time was FAR better, there were lots of fun things to do and we ended up calling it at the end of the second round when I was ahead 13-7 and he had only a single fighter left.

A photo of a pizza in a open pizza box, with garlic bread behind it. On top of the pizza there's meatballs covered in bolognese sauce, fresh basil, onion, and strips of parmesan cheese.

@yayKM was in the office today and stayed back late, I was all excited to treat myself to some Indian for dinner until I went to order it and remembered that they're closed on Tuesday. 😤

So plan B: pizza and garlic bread (and enough of it that I'm also having it for lunch tomorrow).
