I'm too poor to justify FW shit, so w/e. At least recasters still carry canceled FW lines, while being able to match the quality most of the time.

I have what I think might be a recast Primaris Librarian, and the quality is pretty great, even if it is resin.

Sadly, though, I have no need of it. Didn't know it at the time, but the fluff of my chosen Chapter states that it is Nikaea-compliant. What a downer.

I think traitor guardsmen are coming.

The newish "Black Fortress" boxed game contains a sprue of them. This is a good way for GW to gauge demand by seeing how vocal the demand for traitor guardsmen outside of the box is.

The traitor guardsmen are actually really nice designs - if you trim off the chaos emblems they'd fit pretty well with some of the older guard designs imo.

I bought Blackstone fortress just to dip my toe back in, since I last played anything GW related 20 years ago - mainly looking forward to the painting/model making bit atm, Tbh. I've been very impressed with the quality of the new plastic castings: they're light years ahead of what GW was knocking out in the early to mid 90s. The new easy build designs are interesting - I prefer some of the pose choices you had with the old models, but this new system does allow for much more fancy models with tiny details like joined chains and so forth (imperial zealot, I'm looking at you).
I'll post more when I've got something painted to show.

Are you talking for a Heresy army or a 40k army? Because pretty much all the chapters quietly binned the Edict of Nikaea after the Heresy was over, even the guys who'd supported it hardcore like the Fists and the Salamanders. The only exception I can think of are the Black Templars.

Marines Malevolent. I want to be wrong, because psykers are fun.

Someday I might spread out into Minotaurs, so hopefully it'll be of use eventually.

Both of the chapters I play use Librarians, which makes me happy because I like painting them. Also, Minotaurs seem like a fun army to collect. I know a guy who has an army of them, and he's done a lot of kitbashing and converting to make them look more Ancient Greek.
 
Got my made-to-order Vostroyan forces in the mail today. I was expecting them to be finecast, but it turns out they're metal. Awesome.

Well a pretty major bit of background lore just dropped in some aeldari Eldar book that just came out. Turns out that the Eldar were created by the Old Ones for a very specific reason.
To fight Proto-Chaos, which was something so nasty even the Necrons were scared shitless of it to the point of inventing the whole "exterminatus the shit out of anything vaguely tainted" tactic millions of years before the Imperium to contain its spread during the War in Heaven, and they even allied with the Eldar against it when shit got really fucking bad. Indeed the book is partially set in a joint Necron/Eldar containment vault holding Slaaneshi daemons from 60 million years before Slaanesh was apparently born.

Linear time, causality, and the Warp aren't on good terms. This makes more sense than you may think.

This, There was a case of an Ork Warboss, Warboss Grizgutz. Grizguts traveled through the warp only to arrive at his destination before he left.

At this point, Grizguts's planned WAAGH! ended because one of the Grizguts killed the other in order to get two of his favorite gun and the Orks present wandered off in confusion.

That's still one of my favorite 40K stories of all time. They also just released an Iron Hands short story not too long ago where Ferrus Manus drove his flagship into a warp rift after some Orks and stumbled across an Iron Hands cruiser from the future. He got all pissy because he found a dead future Iron Hand whose bionics looked like shit to him, so he ordered it abandoned even though his Mechanicum representative suggested that they should probably try to mine the databanks for technology and information.

Hey its not like it could have told him about a certain warmaster.....
 
So I bought my Angron Primarch book after waiting since the start of the series, I was looking at the new releases when I came across this:

The new audiobooks seem to be voiced by David Tennant and Billie Piper. Im not gonna shell out money to listen to them, unless in the Necron one it takes a sharp turn and the kiddos meet a bunch of Necron Flayed Ones.
