There’s something incredibly funny to me about getting a buzzy recap of that time I got laid off

Analogous with populist politicians who thrive in opposition but are quickly exposed when they actually have to govern - just a pity they need to get elected for that to happen. Funny how "actually holding people accountable for the claims they make" is the common element, there.

I'm all in favour of Chaos Christmas. Abraxia's probably the least festive book I've written - it's more of a breezy beach read - but enjoy!

Due to scheduling weirdness, Grombrindal was also up for the 2024 vote earlier this year, alongside Darkoath. I've managed to split my own vote twice with a single book. Good job, Grombrindal.

I thought it was a cool worldbuilding detail that Hashutite runes are so volatile that they ignite on contact with the air, so I tried to make sure that all of the script on these miniatures is visibly alight. This is why it has taken me two months to paint fourteen models.

My first Warhammer army was a pile of second hand Chaos Dwarves that I got from a bloke in... Portsmouth, perhaps? In the late 90s. I remember it vividly. It was my first time visiting a weird guy's flat to look at Warhammer. My mum took me. Decades later, I am he. And this is my Warhammer.

Thanks so much! I've got so much Chaos trim to get back to...

He’s descending from his hero rock, not climbing it! The wind is hitting him from behind, not in front! All sorts of baroque ornamentation, but also a bedroll, basic tools, human stuff. Just incredibly well conceived.

I should probably paint mine.

This sentence alone is Drukhari microfiction

I do appreciate, though, that *knowing* you’re missing details can be frustrating or FOMO-inducing, so that’s always something to bear in mind.

Hope it’s not weird for me pop into this thread! Death of the author and all.

This is it, when it comes to the various nods and references in Abraxia. Picking up on those details shouldn’t be necessary to follow Abraxia’s arc in this book - but I did want to celebrate ten years of Chaos in AoS.
