A photo of the board of Warhammer 40,000: Fireteam with miniatures on it. The board consists of hexagonal tiles and has industrial-looking artwork on it, and the miniatures are five Space Marines (big power-armoured warriors wielding chainswords and bolt pistols) and thirteen Necrons (Terminator-esque robotic warriors with guns but in poses like they're shambling like zombies). There's also tall industrial/steampunk-looking pieces of terrain on the blocked hexes.

We played another game of Fireteam today, this time with fully-painted miniatures, and I added some (not fully-painted) terrain pieces on the blocked hexes for visual interest! Lots of fun, the mechanics and flow are good, but given the mission we did was the introductory mission, I don't understand how the Necrons can possibly win. I guess I'll need to do some research.

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 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!

A photo of a three-player game of Warhammer Underworlds, a hex-based board game with miniatures and cards. There's the Grymwatch (cannibalistic ghouls) closest to camera, with the Crimson Court (elegant vampires) to the right, and the Wyrmspat (disciples of Nurgle who thrive on spreading disease and decay) to the left.

We had Ben over again for Beanie socialising and Warhammer Underworlds this afternoon! The Beanie socialising went extremely well, we gave him one single one of his calming pills this time and we can definitely go entirely without them next time.

The game of Warhammer Underworlds was SO GOOD, and INSANELY close! Ben won again with 13, but Kristina and I tied on 12! It seriously could have gone any way.
