Yesterday I ended up in hospital as a result of a viral infection that was exacerbated, I think, by heat exhaustion. So I didn't do any painting - these poor Space Wolves must be cursed!
Today I've been wiped out, sleeping more than anything else, but I did manage to pick up some old Ral Partha wolves that I got many many years ago and give them some TLC to bring them up to scratch. I first painted them around the turn of the Millenium, probably in 1999 or 2000, which is now - distressingly - a quarter of a century ago. I also finished off the random Space Marine Scout, turning him into a Flesh Eater because why not.

| Ral Partha wolves, originally for a 5th Edition Warhammer Fantasy Undead army I think |
 |
| These were originally painted at a friend's house - I remember sitting at the table in their kitchen drybrushing them - so it must have been 1999. I was 12 or 13 at the time |
 |
| All I did today was touch up the faces and give them shiny new bases |
 |
| This was a Scout from Miniature of the Month a while back that my friend C sent me |
 |
| Flesh Eaters! Because subtlety is for losers |
 |
| A nice simple paintjob - washes and some basic layer highlights |
 |
| It had originally been painted with a speed paint by C, and it has caused the paint I put on top to act very strangely - you can see this in what looks like chipped paint on the base of the right pauldron! I ended up trying to seal it all with a matt varnish |
Assuming I feel well enough, tomorrow I really really want to make headway on at least one (1) Space Wolf and some of the commission stuff.
