Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
How I get my mechs painted: tearing random color schemes for other projects.
Trying to decide which purple and which yellow I want for my Legion Imperialis Imperial Guard army.
Polls to follow, since you can’t have a picture and a poll in the same post.

Spent two hours painting feathers.

Hard to tell, but I made more progress.

I think that probably a third of Cain's books open with the words "I've made a huge mistake."
And, the contrast really has me respecting him more than before but, thats crazy because I loved those books. My #WH40k #amReading list went 1. Infinite and Divine 2. All of the Caiphas Cain books 3. Scars
And it was a good entry angle for me. I went on to enjoy the Heresy and Big Dakka and when I looked at "I am burning through a book every 39 hours, badass." But I wouldnt have got into it w/o Cain.
A Warhammer song of glory that does not horrify undersells the game:

When it first came out, it was clearly taking the piss out of the way racism and dystopia seemed to be baked into a certain type of sci-fi. Somewhere along the way it seems to have lost the parody aspect.
Oh you @nerdlings, this was another great hobby week!
@dmcgk finished his first #GoT model (or first model ever) https://mastodon.ie/@dmcgk/114230200875521725

Terve Suomalaiset!
My buddy Mark is about to start a 2-month apprenticeship in Kouvola, Suomi, obvsly doesn't know anyone there, and wants to know if there's something like a tabletop gaming club in or near Kouvula. Blood Bowl, 40k, other Warhammer and even MtG, he's game. He's friendly and likes a laugh, 100% Erik™ approved 
Retoots will be much appreciated!

I have some frustrations with the writing style, but Warriors of Ultramar just kinda slaps as a book. Half of it is about training PDF soldiers. The ganger plotline is great. It ends in the most Ultramarines fashion possible (someobe being a tattletale). #Warhammer #WH40K #AmReading #40k @bookstodon
"fundamental weakness of western civilization is empathy" — Egon Murks, zitiert von Extra 3:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gJZ1M0f_8Y
Und ich dachte, die Hymns of the Imperium wären eine schwärzeste Satire:
From mercy’s chains,
our Emperor deliver us,
from the poison of pity,
our Emperor deliver us
…
for mercy is weakness
and pity is sin.
Oh Emperor give me
the courage to hate".
— Litany of Hate, Sisters of Battle, Hymns of the Imperium.

#ThrowbackThursday I'm building a new set of Aeldari for a regular client at the moment, so it seemed appropriate to look back on these Harlequin Voidweavers I painted for another client 2 years ago, which support his Il-Kaithe Craftworld army #nerdlings #wargaming #wepaintminis #wh40k
Trying a new #speedpaint approach. Black primer, base, wash, finer & finer dry brush, then #contrastpaint
True metal #slapchop?

What do you think? One stand out? All ? None?

I also got an academic paper published on how the Necrons of the Dawn of War games reflect pop-culture ideas about Ancient Egypt:

@cstross You're half-joking I presume, but is that something you seriously think about? "That" being the possibility of your fiction (or parts thereof) being used by real-life people as a blue-print? The repeated exhortations by Games Workshop that #WH40k and the Imperium of Man are a *satire* of fascism and aren't actually a cool thing meant to be emulated seem to be a case in point for authors losing control of their narrative (even though the comparison is a bit weak as GW is not a single author and they make tons of money with the #SpaceMarine games which seem to mostly gloss over the geno/xenocidal nature of the Imperium and of its servants).
Got beat up 5-0 playing #tau in an 800 point game against the 11yo and his #ultramarines this evening, at the local #warhammer store, but oh what fun! As a first we played with objective markers and victory points, instead of our normal «whoever gets totally destroyed first has lost». #warhammer40k #wh40k
Rofl, In most #wh40k books everyone is scared of the navigators and dont hang out with them but to the Night Lords a navigators sanctum is the spot to chill and the legion serfs are just all there talking about "she's so relatable and cool." Is the most "to the Joker Crazytown is Normaltown" thing I have seen yet from this setting. Ave Dominus Nox I guess.
