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 small scruffy blonde dog lying partially curled up on his side on a blue/green blanket.

Beanie is nine years old today!

A photo of three miniatures, each of which consists of a swarm of seven little robotic scarab-looking things. Their carapace is a dark bronze colour, and in the middle of their backs is a hemisphere that I've painted such that it looks like it's a dark green gem reflecting the light.

I got the three Necron Scarab swarms done today, and I am fucking STOKED at how well the gems on their backs came out! They look like they're actually glass!

A photo of ten Necron Warriors from Warhammer 40,000. They're robotic and look very Terminator-esque, and are painted in a dark bronze and dark silver. They're all carrying guns, and are in poses very reminiscent of shambling zombies. The bases are done as cracked red earth like it's been extremely dry, and there's one to two little light brown grass tufts on each base as well.

BAM, that's the Necron Warriors from Fireteam fully done! That crackle paint on the bases is so freaking cool, and I love the little dry shrubs as well. I've still got the three Scarab swarms to paint, but they'll be far faster to do. Then after that, five Space Marines, and that'll be the whole Fireteam box completely finished. 🎉

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.
