A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on his side on the floor with his back against a bookcase and his head resting on a cushion that's been propped up next to a reading chair.

Someone has certainly made himself comfortable.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying upside down on the floor with his legs in the air.

We got this adorable little scruffball eight years ago today!

A photo looking down a street after the sun has gone below the horizon, but with clouds on the horizon and the sky a REALLY intense rich golden colour.

Hella sunset just now!

A photo of my painting table with paints all at the back, a miniature in a little holder in the middle, a wet palette at the right, and two jars of water for rinsing the brushes in at the left. There's also a glass of rum and a piece of dark chocolate at the left.

Friday night status: a rum Old Fashioned, some dark chocolate, and painting. 👌🏻

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 (https://virtualwolf.org/media/posts/1639), 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!
