Very nice. I appreciate the detail of his feet looking raw and red. Appropriate for someone who's going barefoot through no-man's land.

Black iron, black hearts.

I was too busy with Heresy this year, but getting some traction on my TOW Warriors of Chaos is on the list for next year.

Does she chatter at the birds? Our boy Ziggy, now passed, liked birdwatching, but never made the "ekekek" noises.

Mm. There are certainly points where I'm watching the nth person play Stickfingers for x=2 to reanimate that Final Fantasy guy and create a hasty Ulamog token and I wonder why I'm bothering with my janky Zurgo deck.

I'm glad they eventually wised up and banned Ancient Tomb and Chrome Mox, at least.

Thank you for being my true and real friend (it's not parasocial)

I won't say which government department I work for, for obvious reasons, but "embrace AI and grease the wheels for privatisation" is also very much the vision for the future at the national level.

Cal is one of my favourite Star Wars characters to date. I'm really hoping Respawn stick the landing with the third game.

I mean, just eyeballing it, their bases look the same width as the foot Marauders, so I'd guess standard 30×60 new cavalry bases.

The world won't become kinder by allowing more cruelty.

I'm not sure you do get why people feel strongly about this if you don't think there's a difference between that and being banned by the government from competing because of who you are.

I don't think anyone here is performing that particular alchemy, and banning trans people from competing as their identified gender deserves opposition anyway.

I realise I'm showing my biases since I have a Space Marine model as my display pic, but I really do think 40k had the right idea when it comes to UB. A self-contained release of commander precons so you don't have to engage if you don't want to.

I've actually signed up for a prerelease tomorrow, which I haven't done for ages.

Honestly, in my opinion, you don't even really need to go past 'God-Emperor'
