The Great Rebasing has begun. It is time for some properly veteran Orcs to take to the battlefields of The Old World once more

Go beyond the gate you absolute legend. May banners be raised in your honour

The Eternity Gate on Terra. It's absolutely massive and features a man (the emperor) sunbathing stabbing a dragon man (Horus)

Lots of banners in front of it

And while his (relatively) newer stuff set much of the current style. His old paintings are just marvelous

The assembly of my idiot vampire boys continues. No, honestly, they are noble and true defenders of humanity. At no point do they randomly go berserk. These guys will be Death Company.

Assault intercessors assemble as Death Company, all the models are not wearing helmets because wearing helmets would be a sane thing to do

It's just occurred to me how much the Warhammer 40k spaceship game Battlefleet Gothic owes to these things. And that actually makes a lot of sense given that Chaos ships are meant to be older. (More in the alt text. See, I can do that too)

A Battlefleet Gothic cruiser, in this case a Murder Class from the Chaos fleet. It has two launch bays and two lance decks. There is no ramming prow common to Imperial ships of an equivalent class.

There are a bunch of mast looking things on the top, along with a large bridge section to the aft. I always assumed these were meant to be a callback to age of sail. However...

The way they line up looks very like this French pre dreadnought thing.

Which makes me wonder if GW's designers were being clever. Chaos ships are, generally, meant to be older than Imperial ships. So it makes sense that their design would hark back to early modern ship design

(Let's ignore that Imperial ships look like they have a lot in common with Triremes and that in 40k older generally means better technology)

Hahahaha (Alt text has a bit more nuance)

The Andrew Formerly Known As Prince with one glowing red eye in the back of a police car, lying down as if he's on the skeleton bobsleigh ride into hell itself. Which he probably is.

Everything about his face seems to indicate that he knows he's absolutely screwed. The slightly open mouth that makes it looks like he's got teeth like a rabbit. The thousand yard stare.

His fingers are rubbing together like Lady Macbeth hoping like hell the evidence will go away.

Happy birthday you treasonous pervert bastard, I hope they lock you in the Tower of London via traitors gate.

This is how eclectic ovens work, right?

Panel 1. Garfield jerks a thumb towards an oven which contains Jon Arbuckle, the monster. "Should we burn him?"

Panel 2. Close view of Jon's monstrous face. "Oh god no"

Panel 3. Jon has gone all wobbly and is being repeatedly struck by lightning. Bzzzzt

Fallout by Gary Larson would be a hell of a thing.

Further required listening! But not the Garfield bit. Don't worry, Garfield doesn't actually burn Jon alive. This time.

Panel 1. Jon Arbuckle, the monster, sits at a table and says "The claws must go"

Garfield, incredibly badly drawn even by my own horrifying standards, pulls a hideous grimace. His eyes are much too far apart. He thinks "The hell they do"

Panel 2. Jon Arbuckle, the monster, stares at the camera, looking concerned. Reflection lines at the edge of the panel indicate that he is behind glass.

Panel 3. The viewpoint pulls back to reveal that Jon Arbuckle, the monster, is trapped inside an oven. His mouth is open in a rectangular howl which we cannot hear. An orange paw reaches towards the oven igniter.

The Gnomes are interesting, but damn I need some practice with them. First game was against Shambling Undead and an absolute pasting. Had some horrid Take Root rolls which didn't help. Throw player as missile may become a main tactic. At one point I had two players, and one couldn't move.
