I don't know why, but the wording of the questions is making me think "fellas, I gotta say this is the strangest sprint retro I've ever been in..."

You live in a lamp, dude. What did you expect?

Just sharing some of my Tau. You'll notice I specialise in a technique called "eh, it'll look fine from a metre away on the table". The Ethereal was an interesting experiment in how quickly I could bang out a leader unit.

Ghostkeel battlesuit in "Shadow Grey" (now "The Fang") with bright white-grey highlights and a red helmet/head. A Tau breacher stands in front for size comparison - observant folks will notice the skin is more of a pallid grey-green to provide some contrast to the armour.

Broadside battlesuit Shas'Vre in deep blue-grey with white-grey accent panels and a red helmet.

Broadside battlesuit Shas'Ui in deep blue-grey with red and white-grey accent panels and a white-grey helmet. I am particularly proud of the lens on the shoulder-mounted targeter.

Tau Ethereal on hover-disk. This was a speed-paint to get a leader on the table after my old Crisis Commanders got moved to legends. The more traditional blue-grey skin ties it to the overall scheme of the army, but the rest of the model is dominated by the accent colours of the rest of the army.

Steam verifying your age by credit card is the stupidest thing, too. How many kids have accounts that have their parent's credit card attached to it? It's the most half-baked age-enforcement ever (I know why, Steam doesn't want to deal with the security nightmare of scanning IDs, but still).

Shower thought: Guillaume is the French spelling of William. Roboute could be the High-Gothic-ified version of Robert. Similar for Guillaume and Guilliman. For nearly 40 years, James Workshop has hidden in plain sight a Primarch called *Billy-Bob*. Yeehaw. #warhammer40k #40k

A very poorly MS-Painted meme of the General Lee with Roboute Guilliman put over Bo's face and the 01 replaced with an XIII. The caption reads "well, looks like them Macragge boys are at it again..."

Every Medic main I have met has been an incredible Dom. "You silly bitch, did you pull aggro again?"

If you replace Aliens with Angels, isn't this just Evangelion?

He's dated two of the most powerful telepaths in the Marvel universe. Either his thoughts are really clean, or he doesn't have a single thought in his head and they like the silence for once.

Fantastic! I'm really excited. Congratulations to you and the team.

Will there be a stockist in Australia by any chance? Or will I be looking at international shipping?

If we try hard enough I bet we can get this Overton Window to break the sound barrier.

With Homer's history of concussion, I would bet there's large stretches of his life he doesn't remember at all.

The stops aren't so bad. It's the intersections that drove me mad.

That one shot of the one Grant saying "this is the best day of my life" was very touching.

Because he doesn't want to be an artist, he just wants to cosplay as one and get kudos for it.

I find Satisfactory harder because I spend countless hours detailing my factories with walls, and covered roofs, and neatly dressed power lines.

Minx and I both have a nasty cold, and the house sounds like someone taking 1dps *eugh* *ah* *bleh* *ow* *hah* *ech*

There's one in the Armageddon box! Although they are rarer than they used to be.

Why did we ever move away from beetle black eyes for Blood Angels? They look very cool.

Oh I see Mr. Green, we're going to argue about what makes a good "Purple" clue, huh? #4x3 #puzzles

4x3 result for 23rd of June, I didn't get Purple first.

Arin would miss the exit because he wasn't paying attention during the tutorial.

Yeah, that hard cut to the Day Shift was one of my favourite bits. It was the start of everything coming unhinged.

OnlyAwfulNamesLeft @onlyawfulnamesleft.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Huh, didn't know Ghaz's name was actually Black Speech, that's cool. The old Ork Stormboy minis were definitely... uh... political, to put it gently.

I kinda want GW to release a statement something like "There's no female Space Marines. But there's no male Space Marines either. They're trans-human boys and girls who had their puberty co-opted and their gender is 'Astartes'." and see how many heads explode.

Ghazghkull was named after Margaret Thatcher. There was NEVER a time 40k wasn't political.

Ouch, Tau players catching strays here. This chud wouldn't be welcome at my table.

Without a doubt, the Ghostkeel. A joy to put together and to paint.

I'm an Aussie, and I'd still go for the Goldbrau. Lion Nathan has decimated our brewery industry.

One thing I love about Banks' Culture series is that they have to make all their super-AI "minds" *ever so slightly* crazy, because making a perfectly sane hyper-intelligence means it will immediatly start bootstrapping itself into a higher plane of existence and leave this one.

That is genuinely gorgeous! Amazing work.

Something from the Taros campaign (as I've been a Tallarn & Tau grognard for decades). Ever since I saw Squidmar's crashed Manta, I'd love to try to do that around a desert oasis, with the Tallarn flanking the downed Tau Ethereal's protection cadre.
