But I live in the time of climatic collapse and the UK, so I'll have to make my own, by which I mean tomorrow I'm going to make some time to paint white onto a load of clothes, spears and bows. In preparation for that today I basecoated all the cloth in Corax White, and all the weapons (except the magic bows of the Sisters of Avelorn) in Space Wolves Grey. Then I mixed some Yriel Yellow into some Skarsnik Green to put the final highlight on the shields, and did a similar mix for the Warpstone Green Cloaks. While I had the greys out, I started work on the Everqueen herself: she's wearing almost nothing but white and golds, but I might make the strip of cloth that hangs down the front of her dress green to tie her into the rest of the army. Who knows. Anyway she's a bit of a side project at the moment.

| The yellow tint in the greens really works, I think - it'll look nice with the reds and golds, and the rubies on the shields will look really nice too |
Tomorrow is, of course, Christmas Day, so I'm not planning on doing a particularly great deal. I will, however, get the white done. That means after I get all the leather stuff done there's not that much more to do: gold and red details, gems, skin, hair.
Then I get to start all over again with the next 12! It looks like the end of 2025 and the first part of 2026 is shaping up to be a very Elf-y time. Fitting, given the time of year, I suppose. You've heard of elf on the shelf, etc etc...
