This stuff has been going on for a while. You know Trump would dress the secret service up in Custodes armour if he could. (Although it would be made of cardboard sprayed gold).

I agree. I think there’s a whole faction lurking away in the design language space between Votann and Admech. Curvy, smooth mechanicals, AI, high tech.

I love this one. The fact that it’s really well drawn on a tablet, apparently following an art exercise cue to the letter makes it much funnier. I don’t know if that’s a bit or not, but I adore it.

Watched The Prestige this weekend. Hugh Jackman’s character commissions a machine which duplicates whatever is put into it perfectly, but rather than putting gold bars into it he puts in:
(A) a hat, repeatedly
(B) One (1) cat
(C) himself, dozens of times, killing himself each time.
Is he stupid?!

Kind of reminds me of Fayum mummy portraiture, which would have come from a similar place of honouring the memory of the dead.

You could argue the saturnine dreadnought leaks do resemble the furibundus a *bit*. There are certain design cues that are similar: the rounded pauldron-like arm features, for example.
Saturnine obviously *isn’t* furibundus, but perhaps it’s a riff on some of the older dread’s design?

You can just imagine an Iron Hands Praetor would weigh a ton with all those augmetics, so his jetbike would probably be modified to look heavier & more brutal than a normal jetbike. Maybe even convert a heresy speeder into a single seat jetbike to get that look?

Here’s another possible WEG/Andor inspiration I spotted. Andor’s initial Gorman disguise looked (I thought) a lot like an outfit from the Han Solo Corporate Sector Handbook.

There’s scope for a sequel series… OK, I know everyone dies, but we could still have a series about Hoth and the Bothan spies?

I do have a theory that we’re all just getting old & slightly regressing to our childhoods, so we respond positively to nice looking 80s styled cars because that’s what cars looked like when we were kids.
Same reason I like the Rivian R3, but then get disappointed when I see the (modern) front.

I keep saying it, but GW should do a Necromundan House Greim/Killteam/Imperial Guard plastic set. It would work across all the systems as a gang/killteam/army. It would appeal to Oldhammer fans, newbies… the Krieg Killteam set was a big success, I think this would be, too.

Interceptor City is great, isn’t it? You really get the sense Abnett is breathing a sigh of relief to be moving away from HH for a bit.
Would make a great movie. I keep mentally casting Vicky McClure as Bree Jagdea.
