Tap that and it opens the next one, repeat as needed. It won't post any until you post, then it'll post them all. After you're done, it'll look like this:

Following the theme. Poorly Drawn Lines has replaced all other reaction images in my main chat. I get a lot of use out of this.

Panel from webcomic Poorly Drawn Lines depicting Bird (who is a bird, but that's also their name) saying "I hate a lot of things." He has his scowl on, and his unlit cigarette butt in his mouth.

AI is trying to make me weird and awkward. Upon being wished a happy birthday, autocomplete gives me this:

Upon writing Cheers the AI has suggested the autocomplete "and happy birthday to you"

Sounds like they're starting with 30k lore. Tell them to skip the prequels and get to the good stuff.

Cover to The Redeemer #1 with the tagline "If it doesn't hurt, it doesn't count." and a large picture of Klovis's face screaming under his burning brazier hat. It's all in reds and yellows and looks very 40k.

How dare the game about fascists have an opinion on if fascists are good or bad?

I refuse to clarify if I'm Q or Picard in this moment.

That picture of Q playing a trumpet at Picard, who is more broken in this moment than he was when tortured that time. Also there is a Mariachi band in the background, but despite that it feels like he's playing Ska.

These posts go around about them a fair bit, and seem to be the closest you'll get to the official history, beyond scraping old WDs for ty occasional advert and such.

Not all. The ones they sell to kids have their own opening. Also, that opening is sometimes behind a cover like this, where the Ultramensch top fash is portrayed as an avenging angel fighting evil. It's not _just_ bad media literacy, it's also GW irresponsibly sending mixed messages to sell toys.

Robute G as an angel, with wings, a halo, and a second halo of white light, fighting against the redlit forces of evil, as personified in Abaddon.

Also GW: lets make the most reasonable fascist Ultramensch into an angel fighting evil on the cover of our rulebook. Nobody will misinterpret that! It's not _just_ poor media literacy.

Robute "Reasonable but still hella fashy" G as a winged angel, with a halo, and a second halo of white light, fighting against the redlit daemonic forces of evil.

That's why GW put the Ultramensch dictator on their rulebook covers as an angel fighting evil. Holy mixed messaging in the interests of selling Catholic Space Nazi toys to children! The problem isn't not poor media analysis, but it isn't _just_ poor media analysis.

$Robute G cast as an angelic figure fighting evil with wings, two halos, and some really strong red\white light stuff going on. This was a rulebook for their core game system!$

An angel like they represented Bob G Ultramensch as on the cover of a rulebook, fighting against evil? GW does like to mix it's messages to sell the Catholic Space Nazis game to children. It's not exactly surprising new players misunderstanding that the Space Marine Heroes are good.

Robute Ultramensch being cast as a holy angel with wings and a halo, and a second halo of white light as he fights the evil and red Abbaddon.

Religious like posing Robby G Ultramensch as an angel fighting evil on your rulebook book cover? GW has hardly been consistent with its portrayals. It's not surprising that people who are only tangentially interested in the hobby see the literal cover image and contextualise the setting from that...

Robute G Ultramensch posed as an angelic figure with a double halo, fighting against the evil devilish Abbaddon. But less subtle than you'd imagine from this description.
