So I’m finally reading the novel “Fulgrim”. How much feces painting and CBT can I expect?
 
Has Arch's Warhammer content even gotten any better? I have much sympathy for him in regard to getting unjustly kicked around by GW at the behest of commie redditors, but he grew to become irritating to me as a Warhammer video content creator that I stopped paying attention to him, considering he:
  • doesn't engage with the tabletop games at all.
  • doesn't engage with the modelling and painting hobby at all.
  • seems to express nothing but derision towards any lore since 8th edition (e.g., Primaris Space Marines) five fucking years ago.
  • seems to prefer taking potshots at GW from the sidelines more than anything else.
All with a tiresome smug attitude.
It feels like it got worse actually. He kind of justifies GW advancing the plot line because he's basically stuck talking about pretty much the same 40K/fantasy subjects, since a couple of years of videos has run out everything interesting. He no longer talks about the heresy, and his last big series, Badab, was so disjointed and overly long it is unwatchable. Add to it being butthurt about Gathering Storm half a decade later and it's just makes his channel feel like current era AVGN.
 
I'm guessing that the new paints are the result of ArmyPainter's Speedpaint line? Maybe?

Fucking BRIGHT. Surprised there's not 1 for each color of the rainbow. The green and cyan are quite nice.

Baal Red looks interesting, closer to Mephiston Red than the old contrast? Another yellow? Is there enough of a diff between Bad Moon and Imperial Fist from the FUCKINGBRIGHT lineup above?

THESE, these I like. Mantis Warriors Green is the only one I'm not sold on.

Again these are great. I like Ratling Grime and Garaghak's Skewer, but the Cyan and Purple are nice too.

These are also nice. I like the Mortarion Grime in particular, think that would work great with a lot of stuff. The grey might also be pretty good as a catch all shade, too. Blue might be good for gems and lenses, maybe?

It looks as if they saw which of their contrast paints were the most popular, such as warp lightning and aethermatic blue, and decided to expand on those directions. The new bright orange looks ace, but other than that it's just fluffing out a line with already plenty of unnecessary hues such as ultramarine blue and nazdreg yellow. I don't know how they hope to compete with army painter given those are sold at a fraction, and come in dropper bottles.
 
Blasted my new chimera with primer last night, what's everyone working on?
Working on my Invictor Warsuit, not sure where I'm going with it tbh

Had this Rhino with lots of missing parts lying around, decided to give him a disgusting nurglish makeover with Milliput:
