A photo of 13 miniatures, 12 in plain grey plastic and one light grey resin, all heavily armoured. They're all wielding various guns, one is waving a huge regimental standard above her head, and the leader is standing on a rock wearing a military cap with her cloak billowing out from behind her while she aims a plasma pistol. The heads of all the grey plastic ones are shiny pewter instead of being plastic and are mostly wearing berets, and they're all clearly female.

There we go, the entire all-women squad of Scions is finished! Super-happy with my conversions here, next stop is to do a full zenithal base coat with the airbrush (full black undercoat followed by white sprayed from the just top 45 degrees or so of the miniature so it's highlighted where light would naturally fall).

A photo of the box of five Astra Militarum Scions (heavily-armoured troopers carrying a variety of special weapons) and a box of ten Battle Sisters, who are the military arm of the Imperial Church in Warhammer 40,000 and as the name suggests are all women. They look very striking, the armour is black, with red cloaks, and they all have pure white hair with bob haircuts.

The last box of five Scions I need for my all-women squad just arrived, and I may have slipped and also ordered a box of Battle Sisters as well. 😜

A photo of three miniatures in plain grey plastic, all heavily armoured. One has a chunky telephone handset and is yelling into it (she's the comms woman), one is holding a giant flag that is the regimental standard, and the third has a medkit bag in one hand and a pistol in the other. The heads of all three are shiny pewter instead of being plastic and are wearing berets, and they're all clearly female.

Woo, the first three members of my all-women Astra Militarum Scions squad are assembled!

A photo of three heavily armoured warriors in full green armour. They're all grotesque, the left is holding an axe and a mace and has a grinning and fleshy demon face on his right shoulder pad, and he has a long purple tongue and fly eyes. The middle has a screaming daemon face on his knee pad and three tentacles bursting out from his left side. The last has a huge mouth in his abdomen with a long purple tongue coming out of it, and some sort of tentacle coming out from the left eye of his helmet.

Finished the last three members of my Death Guard squad for Kill Team! I'm really happy with how these came out, I tried some new techniques (much less dry brushing and more building up in thin layers, particularly in the daemon faces in the armour), and I used my airbrush to varnish them rather than having to wait for the weather to cooperate to use the spray can.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog sitting upright with his bottom two big teeth stuck outside his upper lip. He looks very silly.

The same dog in the same position but taken so just his head is in frame.

Beanie's upping at Kristina as she's eating popcorn, but his lip has gotten stuck.

A photo of the box for the Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team squad "Novitiates". The art on the front has a woman in an armoured nun-looking outfit wielding a pistol and bearing her teeth.

My murder-nuns arrived!

A photo taken from almost ground level of a small scruffy blonde dog who's lying upside down on the floor looking sleepily towards the camera. Both his back legs are in the air, as is one of his front legs.

The same dog lying upside on the floor, but this time he's facing away from the camera and one of his ears is inside out.

Relaxation levels: off the charts.

A selfie of me, a white man with a red beard and short hair, holding a shiny black electric guitar. The guitar strap is thick and leather, and there's a capo attached to the neck of the guitar, which is a device that sits across all the strings and makes the pitch of the notes higher.

I made some guitar-related purchases! I needed a new strap because I'm pretty sure the one I was using was the original Fender one from my first guitar kit from like fourteen years ago, and it was starting to tear where the strap hooks onto the guitar, so I got a handsome new black leather one. The other bit was a trigger capo because the next section of my Fender Play learnings needs it.

A photo of our old pergola. It's done in timber with white paint over it, and the roofing is polycarbonate. There's a vertical post in the middle of the longest span and the whole thing looks a bit shit.

A another photo taken from underneath the pergola looking out. You can see that the wood isn't very good quality and is rotting in places and the roofing has dust and mud on the top of it. It too looks awful.

A photo of the new pergola. It's done in white metal and looks clean and airy and SOLID. There's no middle vertical post for the longest span and it looks much more open now.

A photo taken from underneath the new pergola. The roofing is primarily white metal and there's two translucent fibreglass panels that provide a wonderfully soft and diffuse light.

New pergola is done! It looks SO much nicer, and it's much brighter underneath than I was expecting giving it's only got two light panels. I'm very excited about it not getting to be a gajillion degrees underneath it on sunny days, too. (Ignore the piles of dirt at the left and the lights hanging from their cables... the former we need to dump out at the back of the yard, and the latter we need to call the electrician in for because the new pergola needed to get fastened to that panel of wood that the lights were previously on.)
