I asked what actions Biden's administration take to constrain Israel's response & why you believe he "did the best he could". Your response is to repeat that "Biden did the best he could" & to deflect alternatives as unknowable hypotheticals, neither of which engage with my questions.

Do you have an actual opinion you're willing to share on Biden's conduct in relation to Israel/Palestine? You've stated that "Biden did the best he could", but I've yet to see you cite any concrete actions of his, so I'm unsure what you're basing this on or what you even think of those decisions.

I'm frankly disappointed by how cliché they look, lacking that whimsical creativity of AoS's best designs. They're generic, vaguely fantasy Gaelic dwarfs. I would've loved for them to have taken inspiration from Ancient China or maybe Jōmon pottery like Zelda. This just does nothing for me.

They've taken the Iron Warriors rout of thinking themselves above chaos by using daemons as literal fuel (hence the green fire having eyes) They've also pushed their exploitation of natural resources further with Ziggurats like Zharr Vyxa, dredging up entire underworlds for fuel.

Personally, I've found original chaos dwarfs to mostly just look like pointy dwarfs with skulls + horns. Helsmiths' society is founded on debt & servitude as no one trusts each other to do anything without being forced to. They also still use orkoids as cannon fodder with Hobgrots.

To be fair, the Stardrake's problem isn't an excess of greebles, it's that it's an anatomical disaster & fundamentally hideous. I can't imagine any amount of details/textures removed that could save that design. It might actually be my least favorite modern GW model.

So the Gulping God is a universal essence of nature, presumably of power, destruction, & hunger, of which Ogors will worship those that best embody those aspects. I think that's a rather clever way to reconcile the Everwinter, Volcano, Maw, & Gorkamorka worship into a coherent, nuanced faith.

I assume you're referring to chaos spawn, but that doesn't mean Chaos has a monopoly on the term. The Seraphon for example have the Spawn of Chotec & use the term when referring to their births i.e. spawning pool, Spawn-Sibling, etc. I don't think there'd be an issue with using it for Gargants.

Call them the "Spawn of Behemat" - sounds much more primal & disorganized, which would be fitting for a Destruction faction.

Oh no, I absolutely agree that they need tanks & would find their range less interesting without them. Coming from someone who actually somewhat likes the Stormsurge's design, I'm not sure why it's not a tank either. I was only commenting on how their faction's use of mechs was distinct.

buterscotchb.bsky.social @buterscotchb.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

I'd say what makes T'au stand out is less that they have mechs, as several factions have them (Asuryani, Orks, Knights/Titans, etc.), but rather what's noteworthy is their ubiquity. T'au mechs aren't just common, they're standard-issue, which I find a fascinating design space.

Don't worry, GW is fully aware of this & have taken the appropriate measures i.e. by lampshading the issue "Wrath of Macragge continues a sterling tradition of Space Marines stabbing Orks on bases" You see, now that they're self-aware, it's ok for them to continue to churn out more marine models!

Considering the Thunderbellies Mawtribe can eat literal lightning, including arriving Stormcast, I think Ogors could eat daemons if they put their mind to it. Also their Mawpots can cook just about anything, including spirits, so that's also a possibility.

I can at least say for certain that the pose was a deliberate homage to this model of Valten, with the Beastlord even having a severed head on their waist reminiscent of him. While I personally like the model, I can't say I love it as I agree it falls short of reading as a proper lord.

I think there are actually a few female ogors scattered throughout the new range, though it can be hard to tell due to the models being well designed. I think this Cleaver is the most apparent example. That, or they just have a prodigious amount of fat in their chest, which is fully possible.

I would've said they were fake due to the wonky right arm & squig looking off, but... there's multiple images of the same box, with believable options, & I'm not seeing any screw-ups with the walls of text, so it's either the most dedicated fake ever or much more likely, it's genuine.

Funnily enough, the Longma isn't even as subtle as referencing the Qilin. Rather it's a direct depiction of the Longma from Chinese mythology, a winged dragon horse. (There name is rather unsubtle here as it literally translates to "dragon horse")

The alt heads are also interesting as I like most of them (Nurgle's being my favorite), but Tzeentch & Khorne's just aren't doing it for me. Those 2 feel less "god-specific" as much as they feel legion-specific, but that might just be me.

I always expected the redesign to round out the details, both to be closer to other daemon engines & to further distance CSM's design language from the box-like loyalists. I like it as a design, but am undecided on if I like it as a redesign. It's now a cross between a soul grinder & a helbrute.

I'm curious what direction they'll take when the Disciples inevitably get a range overhaul like Nurgle did. Their current range is extremely limited, what they do have lacking a distinct aesthetic. Nurgle is medieval European, Slaanesh is Oriental + Roman, & I assume Khorne will just be barbarians.

Currently Dark Elf models are split between 2 factions: Cities of Sigmar & Daughters of Khaine. Umbraneth have been rumored for awhile, but there's already 4 elf factions + CoS, so I don't think they're in a rush for another. I could see them being a sub-faction of DoK though.

I also wonder how the times of release will play a roll. More generic models may look more suspicious after comparing Ghamak's order of releases with GW model reveals. Then there's stuff like a big lizard & lizardmen, fine, but there's 1 long lizard with an alternate head & 3 dudes with sticks.

Ghamak's model "Pyro Salamander" - 1 large, long lizard breathing fire with an alternate head option + 3 lizardmen, 2 of them with staves.

Games Workshop's model "Spawn of Chotec" - 1 large, long lizard that, in lore, can breathe fire (the model kit comes with an alternate head option) + 3 lizardmen, all of them with staves.

For awhile, they were being smart with their proxies by adding a "theme" to distance themselves from the originals - Japanese Skaven & Drukhari, Soviet Sisters of Battle, & Persian Ogors, but... they got complacent...

I'd say you have a rather defined style: Round shapes, soft linework, smooth rendering, bright colors, & strong visual clarity. Drawing will always have its high & low moments, so taking a step back every once & a while to think on your work is a good habit to have.

I agree. I think Grey Knights should lean further into the classic knight aesthetic. I'm still surprised we don't have any Mk6 Grey Knights, their helmets would compliment the Grey Knights' theme well.

It'll turn out that no one has any idea what's in the box, but the Grey Knights like to think of cool rumors to spread around when they're board. The real twist though will be that the box is completely empty. The Emperor just asked them to put it somewhere & they formed a cult around it.

If this was something the Emperor wanted a contingency for, you'd think he'd ask his loyal companions who - 1. Are objectively better then Grey Knights (-psykers) 2. Already on Terra 3. Allied with an anti-psyker force - the best shot anyone would have of countering a new born warp god.

I like thinking of units for factions & Fyreslayers have been a continuous struggle to expand the range in a believable, yet still interesting way. Most ideas I see online have been rather generic: Mini-magmadroth riders or armored dwarfs. So more out-there ideas like your phoenix stick with me.
