While, of course this cowardly knave's blood will soon annoying the blessed metal of my Dominator engines, I must admit that this is absolutely the coolest (non-Hashutite, of course) duardin James has ever produced.

I really fail to see the point of this kind of deeply unserious commentary from what is meant to be a major national newspaper.

Help! Watched Greg Michaels as X-Files baddie of the week the other night and now seriously considering a moustache. Please talk me out of it.

There's a lot wrong with this headline and it's the word 'quasi-satirical.'

James, This is an intervention. We all love and we want you to know that we're here for you but this needs to stop. It's the subtitles, James. You need to admit to yourself that you need help.

Yes, we should absolutely replace Wikipedia, a marvel of the internet where subject matter experts collaborate and debate to build a detailed, exhaustive, thoroughly-sourced resource on every topic made freely available under an open license, with a closed-source blackbox chatbot.

One of the best things about Ogors/Ogres has always been the storytelling packed into individual models and this lovely, chonky boi has that in spades.

Thanks for managing my expectations, @sixdiceskills.bsky.social. For a minute, there, I was tempted to get excited. 😭

Yet more plus-sized goodness in the shapely form of these Ogors who range ahead of the tribe and, hide, somehow. Anyway they're sneaky and chonky and I love them.

I still don't love the Butcher arm of the army but that's what kitbashes are for. Guts, gore, and body horror aren't really my thing but I have ideas about a Tengrist shaman.

I considered making Mawtribes my first stopping point in AoS when I returned from my Hobby Hiatus, before I was seduced by the delightfully/suspiciously Dark Elves-adjacent Helsmiths. I figured that once the range refresh I might add them to the list. Friends, countrymen, this range refresh HITS.

Speaking of freehand cuneiform, methinks this lovely fellow + some bull-themed bits (and likely a fair amount of Green Stuff) could yield a splendid shrine to Hashut.

Say it with me, people... I can make it Word Bearers.

We should start a support group for everyone trying to convert a Cogfort to fit into their faction. I'm Matthew and it's been 6 months of freehand cuneiform.

Who wants to make a Dwarf run with me? Overall the aesthetic of the Leagues of Votann doesn't quite do it for me but I absolutely love the Yaegirs.

Am I the only person who cannot read this without the voice in their heading holding that final 'a' into an extended fadeout, like someone shoved Thulia Ghuld off a cartoon cliff?

Making the special edition of a Word Bearers title into a Gideons Bible is absolutely inspired.

Day 1 Done It took more than 12 minutes. They were all knee push-ups. Sets of 20 became sets of 10 halfway through. They were laughably shallow by the end. I'm dying. But I did it. #cruk #100pushups #cancerresearchuk #fitness

I'm gearing up for this come April. Lately my health hasn't been the greatest and my fitness has really suffered. I have no idea how successful I'll be with this Challenge but it's a helpful but of motivation to get moving every day.

This is the absolute weirdest meme. Even if it weren't demonstrably untrue, there is absolutely zero correlation between physical appearance & political views, who cares? Why in particular are American conservatives suddenly so interested in how much they may want to bone their political opponents?

In case there was any doubt that Millenial Nostalgia is GW's current strategy for character models, I present to you a classic mini but better proportioned and more detailed, with added tactical rock. I'd love to criticise this as a cynical money-grab but I'm too busy checking my bank balance 😭

I know there's been some new releases and announcements and whatnot but what's *really important* is that we all stop to admire these gorgeous pictures from my favourite decades out-of-print Codex: Witch Hunters.

I am unsure if this is satire or if the Telegraph are just taking the piss at this point.

This is a very niche post but as a massive, massive nerd I really appreciate the love and care visible in this random bit of art. You can tell which dragon represents the Emperor and which the Court Wizard because the imperial dragon has 5 fingers, just like a real-life Chinese imperial dragon.

I'm not sure I would ever have the fortitude to tackle a Mechanicus/-um army but I do love when GW make them weird and just a touch off-putting. Kudos to the sculptors if these new lovelies.
