A photo of a table with lots of home-made terrain on it, all either rocky or scrap-looking metal constructs. On this side are Chaos Space Marines, painted in green, next to regular Space Marines which are shamefully unpainted (and also held together with Blu-tac). On the other are Tyranids and Necrons.

Look out, we're playing Warhammer 40,000! Pretty sure this is the first time in seven years...

A photo of the inside of a restaurant. It's warm and light, with a nautical blue and white feel, and the ceiling lights have ropes wrapped around the cables hanging from the ceiling.

Aw yiss, out for dinner at our favourite Greek restaurant.

A photo of four sets of ten female heads for Warhammer 40,000-sized miniatures. One set has mohawks and cybernetic implants, one has a selection of "grizzled veteran" headgear like a beret, a beanie, sunglasses, one has a cigar, etc. The third set all have berets on, and the last have no headgear at all.

Woohoo, the replacement female heads for my miniatures arrived today. They're metal but surprisingly good quality, can't wait to get them all painted up. (I think I'm going to wait for my airbrush stuff to arrive before I get stuck in.)

A photo of a Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine, a big heavily-armoured warrior holding a big gun, that's been undercoated in black and has a zenithal highlight of white done from the angles on the top so it looks like the light is shining on him from above. The gradient is smoooooth.

We were over at a friend's place today and he has an airbrush. I had a play around with it, and that's it, I'm getting one. Look at the damned smoothness of this zenithal highlighting!

A photo of a bowl of spaghetti with bolognese sauce on top, all covered in grated Parmesan cheese.

I made myself a batch of Quorn-based spaghetti bolognese yesterday, had the first one for lunch today and it's excellent. I'm not sure I'd really have noticed it wasn't beef if I wasn't paying attention!

A photo of an white metal outdoor table with several pieces of wood in various states of being cut on it, along with a circular saw and a jigsaw, as well as earmuffs, and a mask,

Continuing with my theme of "productive New Years Eve" (https://virtualwolf.org/media/posts/1642), this time I'm doing some woodworking! Making a second level for my painting table so I've got more room to put my paints, because I'm very much running out of room at this point.

A photo of the box of Warhammer 40,000: Fireteam. The artwork consists of two Space Marines clad in blue power armour in the midst of a number of grey metal Terminator-looking robots.

New game! Really keen to take this for a spin, it's like Warhammer Underworlds in that it's got a hex-based board you play on, but it's set in the 40K universe and the bulk of the rules are based on the new Kill Team edition that came out earlier this year. It comes with Space Marines and Necrons but has cards for an additional four factions if you've got the miniatures for them (which conveniently I do)!

A small (~30cm wide) horizontal speaker with a light grey mesh on the front. The speaker body is made of walnut and it's quite charmingly retro-looking.

The same speaker but without the grill, showing the individual speakers inside it. There's two woofers towards the middle, and two tweeters on either end.

Both my USB guitar input and electronic drum set have headphone jacks on them, and no way to get actual audio out of them without plugging into that. If I'm using headphones by myself that's fine, but if I want to be showing someone else while hearing what I'm doing, it's a bit of a problem! I looked into Bluetooth speakers that have 3.5mm jacks as well (we've got a little Bluetooth speaker that I use to listen to music from my phone when I'm out in the back room doing my painting and it does okay, but the sound quality's not great plus it lacks any way of getting audio to it except Bluetooth), and decided to get the Audioengine B2. It arrived today and is both very handsome and sounds quite good!

A photo looking out and down at a busy city street with tall buildings everywhere, taken from the 28th floor.

In the office today for a team event!

A photo looking down at a nearly-finished little shopping village. There's various barriers and parts that aren't done but it looks like it's ready to open soon.

We're on a train going into the city for yum cha with friends! Hell of a difference with the construction across the road compared to September last year (https://virtualwolf.org/media/posts/1493). Also the weather is MISERABLE today but we had to plan everything well in advance of knowing what it was going to be like.
