A photo of the unpainted grey plastic terrain from the new Kill Team: Octarius box. It's an Ork settlement and everything has a very Mad Max vibe, it's all ramshackle structures made from panels of metal hammered haphazardly together, there's a big oil derrick in the middle, and lots of piles of scraps of metal and pieces of junk.

Man, the amount of terrain in this Kill Team box is nuts.

A photo of two cans of Games Workshop undercoat spray paints, a box of Tyranid Warriors (four-armed Aliens-esque towering freaky alien things) and a box of Genestealers (also four-armed freaky alien things, but smaller and more hunched over).

I don't have a problem, I swear.

A photo of the Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team: Octarius box, with a very WWI German-esque trooper wearing a gas mask on the front.

YASSSSS. And holy crap it weighs a ton!

A photo of a beef brisket point sitting on a smoker with two temperature sensors sticking into it.

Doing my first brisket today! I'm setting my expectations appropriately low because it's apparently one of the tricker ones to get right. We got a small 2kg one to start with because I don't want to fuck it up and have wasted like a hundred dollars worth of meat.

A photo of two small microcontrollers and a 2.9" e-ink display.

A photo of one of the two microcontrollers attached to the back of the e-ink display. The soldering for the headers is a bit slapdash and definitely not any sort of uniform neatness.

My additional ESP32 bits arrived today as well! I had to solder the headers onto the ESP32-S2 myself, and while it's not an amazingly neat job, I think it should get the job done.

A photo of a smallish room, with stuff against all of the walls, and a spot at the back right that's been cleared out that's where the drum kit is going to go.

I spent this afternoon cleaning and tidying and rearranging the back room because I'm going to buy myself an electronic drum kit and learn to play drums! And we have absolutely nowhere else to put it, haha. I was originally looking at the Roland TD-07KV, but I'm leaning towards splurging for the TD-17KV instead...

A photo of two very little rectangular circuit boards with various chips on them, and a row on either side of the boards with black plastic headers for plugging things into.

YAY my ESP32s arrived! They're smaller than I thought they'd be (and arrived faster than I was expecting, they only shipped from the US six days ago).

A photo of the box of Kainan's Reapers, a warband that's made up of skeleton warriors.

There we go, last warband I'm getting for the current season of Warhammer Underworlds! (I'm not interested in Hedkrakka's Madmob or the Idoneth Deepkin, the miniatures don't grab me).

A photo of a plate with chips and a half rack of beef ribs in it.

I went into the office today solely because we're having a team lunch. I'm happy to report that the beef ribs from Hurricane's are still magnificent.

A photo of four of the six pieces of the "Primal Lair" terrain set. They're all set on what look like basalt columns (those hexagonal stone formations you see in places). One has a huge horned skull resting on it, another has a horned skull and also the backbone and several ribs of what was an ENORMOUS creature, the third has big yellow crystals coming out of the middle, and the last is a pool of sickly green liquid inside the stone columns.

Games Workshop's Contrast paints and my new big drybrushes certainly reduce the time it takes to do these terrain pieces for Warhammer Underworlds! (Miniature is there for scale).
