Do you post these? I have a wall in a newly renovated house that is very bare.

Yeah and that hasn’t been changing for a while sadly. I thought PEN would help. So we will see.

Tbh I don’t even know if CC is my main game anymore. I don’t have time/energy/money.

I was going to build a new Marlynn deck. Changed my mind. πŸ˜‚

Yeah my antiquity had seduce secrets. I’m glad I bought one box.

Oh I 100% agree there is a very careful tuning point in there somewhere.
But it still feels slightly broken.

Sigh my queen already dead in the eyes of the masses.

Yea agree. The fatigue pleides one I bought is great. Consistent updates and commitment to updating it from when it released through to PEN release. Matchup notes detailed and lots of thought and testing.

Others… not so much.

I’ll definitely buy one though. Outsource the work.

Feels like there is still a disconnect between what the game needs in terms of reprints and what it is getting. But then also boxes of compendium are wildly variable on the value so it’s a poor opening experience for the casual player. So without shelters etc the increased msrp isn’t justifiable 2/2

So like idk feeling a bit mixed about PEN now that it’s out. Like reprints haven’t dropped prices as much as needed. JW actually came out and said that he wanted to avoid another β€œfelling of the crown” and I actually said β€œyou mean when that underprinted overprice card became affordable?” 1/2

I try to deliberately not keep up. πŸ˜‚

Lol some people are already calling it Copium of Rathe. The #fabtcg community never ceases to amaze

I continue to distract myself from finishing my spearhead this time with a bust.

Well I should say the whole spearhead is getting the same skin as the bust.

The real thing I can’t decide is whether to add some pink to the models or whether to double down on the stoney grey aesthetic with blues.

Marlynn Deck Deck and Games, Flesh and Blood Compendium of Rathe
YouTube video by Aaron Boyhan Marlynn Deck Deck and Games, Flesh and Blood Compendium of Rathe

The U.K. National #fabtcg champion put out a Marlyn deck full of new Compendium goodies. I recommend a look. Don’t get put off by the three fableds they are optional(ish)

Nice! I haven’t been to them! And I wasn’t really being negative, more commenting about how popular I expect these to be!

Battlegrounds look amazing #fabtcg continues to smash things out of the park. Participation tournament packs as well!

I guess the only concern is that tickets for those events will sell out super fast unless you have a mega store. Like dark sphere in London could do 100+ but how many others can?

The key art for this set might be the best they’ve ever done. #fabtcg

RatheFables Β© Finbarr Begley 2023 Stories in the World of Rathe

As with YouTube wrapping up my fab content and that means I’ve not renewed the license on RatheFables.com. If anyone takes it I hope you have fun with the url.

Otherwise this and the 7-8 chapters of my fanfic will go offline in early March.

My first years painting in #warhammer. Glad I’ve got to do a lot of things but maybe a little too much blue! Won’t have as much time next year but hopefully can still do some great things!

Surely the pathway to the celebration is getting your photo taken in costume at any event where this is happening?

Haha yes exactly. I mean I’m secretly relieved I don’t have to mix anymore. πŸ˜‚

A story in two parts. I think my new deathshrieker rocket battery looks alright.

I can be serious as well. Seriously in need of a haircut and a shave! πŸ˜…

Yeah especially when it’s this blatant. Odd that they also have enough money to fund a Supreme Court challenge and it’s only the poshest stop on the route being challenged.

Meanwhile Ireland continues to be a joke as 19 people block a 10bn euro vital infrastructure project indefinitely because of some random excuse they figured out to keep it out of their area.

Just tell them to shag off and build the damn thing. It’s why countries build and the west is stagnating
