Concerning if true. McNeill and Swallow have a hand in building the universe and as much as I adore the new blood I think some of the old hands are needed to shape the epic theatrical drama of 40k. I also think classic writing would be refreshing. Remember the OTT drama of Thor? I miss that.

These books sold for 13 quid each. Games Workshop has created one of the best worlds and has some of the best sci fi and fantasy writers working for them and yet the books are just not making it into the hands of readers. Instead their lore is being peddled (inaccurately) by third parties...

My bestie came in, told me he was fixing my office chair and installed Stellar Blade on my PC. I had no idea it had released. I've done my waiting. I'm so excited.

"Netflix dialogue is clunky due to second screen viewing. Characters need to announce what's happening." The people yearn for radio dramas and audio books. I wonder if we'll see a resurgence. I prefer reading to audio books but I rather like audio dramas and there's quite a few on yt and Spotify.

My experience with Warhammer books is someone telling me "You should read [book]". And I just find it on my shelf like it manifested there.

There's a dedication in my Warhammy book. I bought it second hand. I've no clue what it says.

Same font on Great Work and Genefather. Lovely touch.

Swany @swanforge.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

McNeill if you're out there. Nightbringer is fantastic. I was already familiar with your game but I still find myself delighted and surprised. I've only known Uriel mentioned as a veteran so seeing him inexperienced and doubting himself has been lovely.

I've not kept up on recent 40K did the Blood Angels get their generational trauma and Catholic swag back? (they better have)

First RE game lesgooooooo. (It has been 1 hour I've died 4 times)

Swany @swanforge.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

Reading Nightbringer and Uriel being so inexperienced and full of determination feels very reminiscent of reading Berserk for the first time. Seeing Guts at the start. Opening up to people, falling for Casca and the whole campfire of dreams scene. Sweet boy. I hope nothing bad happens to him...

Fatshark adding another character who will be combative and create friction with the main cast. Me:

McNeill is such an unintentionally funny writer. Shipmaster: Boy I sure hope the eldar don't destroy my ship. Next paragraph: MEANWHILE. IN THE EVIL LAIR. Or it is intentional and the man is an evil genius. Because I love it. The Eldar are so funny, he doesn't shy from the grimdark.

Me deciding to make a yt channel about Warhammer novels then realising I can only identify themes of Fraternity, Loyalty and Grief.

Finished Blood of Iax. Really quick, cozy, easy read. I've had a friend in my DMs raving for ages about the Ventris novels and McNeill always delivers. Aside. How nice is this cover? (I have not finished Inquisitor. Chat, boo this man).

Blood of Iax is a simple cozy read but still has such intense shocking scenes I'm having a great time. It's still given me some things to think about.

Robbie MacNiven writes combat very well. And a story about Ultramarines who are also blood brothers is a good choice to ease me back into reading mreems. If you guess the novel pls no spoil I'm still reading.

When I dropped twt some fella told me to go back to Tumblr. I went outside. Touched grass. Spoke to real humans and not just bots and blue ticks. I found a new sport. I started reading again. Get off social media. Reconnect with the world and find joy again.

Second hand booksellers love to see me coming. As much as I love telling an author I'm reading/rereading their book, there's something very special when a friend says you've bought a favourite. Also I didn't know Westerfield wrote anything besides Uglies which I love I'm so excited.

A passing line in a YT video made me realise the divide in media consumption. The desire of some to see themselves in media and feel seen, I can understand how they think everyone projects themselves onto the characters rather than emphasise. Literal interpretation of "literally me" hasn't helped.

I was today years old when I learned that Warhammer has a free education programme to introduce young people into the hobby and is part of Duke of Edinburgh and there's even a Scouts badge!? (I want one) Is this wide knowledge and I just didn't know, this is great. What a fantastic thing.

Me once a week reminding everyone that Deathworlder is an exploration of love and grief. Ashes of Cadia is a coming of age and Young's themes of loyalty in characters who are /explicitly/ aware of how awful the Imperium is but still choosing to fight because it's right and good. Warhammer is great
