I'm glad the tumour is benign, but I'm sorry you've got one. I wish you all the best for a swift recovery

Congratulations!

That's incredible, I now regret never getting into Age of Sigmar!

'Dark aeldari', 'Bright aeldari' and 'ancients'? Where did they get their 40K knowledge from?

Some people from AI companies are 'lobbying' the government so the government are trying to find any and every way that AI can be shoehorned into every aspect of everything

A Knight Errant from Warhammer 40,000, armed with a heat-damaged thermal cannon and a huge chainsword, in red and blue quartered livery, on a base that looks like dried, cracked earth, littered with rusting military debris

The thermal cannon of a Knight Errant is pretty hot, I'd guess!

Paul made great decisions

The miners tried the 'sit down so the coppers can't say you provoked them and respond with violence' thing during the Miners' Strike and then acknowledged it didn't work 40 years ago!

Codex: Eldar from Warhammer 40,000 3rd edition. Inside a pale blue border, the cover art shows an Eldar warrior in ornate armour with a fancy sword and shuriken pistol in each hand. Behind them, Eldar vehicles race past in front of alien architecture

I started with Warhammer 40,000 in 2nd edition, but I didn't buy any of the books until 3rd when this was my first. It wasn't long before I bought nearly all the others, too!
I loved this book and the Craftworlds supplement, I remember reading them and imagining all kinds of armies I could make

That's really good of you, so many wouldn't even think about that. I hope you're better soon

It always makes me laugh that people critise the Craftworlds by saying that 'the Aeldari would let a thousand humans die to save one Aeldari', when the Imperium are actively trying to wipe them out. Yeah, they're probably not too concerned with human losses when the humans want to kill them all!

I've got the original Captain with Terminator Honours from 1991, though I got it later and unfortunately minus his cloak (like the one in the Warhammer Community article!), but I always thought that model was fantastic.
I think the new one might be my first Primaris model!

No lies detected!

"The Renaissance" is not a result of a linear "revolution". It was a medieval phenomenon, rooted in ideas circulating for centuries (Giotto was born c. 1267). The Middle Ages had multiple periods of seeing "classical" ideas as fashionable. Works like Vitruvius were widely read and influential. 1/

This is the game we should all aspire to:

I've got my classic guardians ready to paint too! I think they were about the third lot of models I had, 30 years ago this year

NHS in East of England faces unprecedented cuts, says boss Hundreds of NHS staff in the East of England may face redundancy because of a major reorganisation.

NHS staff face unprecedented job losses, says boss.

Each ICB asked to cut running costs by 50%, services cut, redundancy costs, low morale, recruitment crisis.

No risk assessment produced.

NHS being privatized. Fight the cuts or lose the NHS

I always like that dwarves from Warhammer Fantasy have Northern English accents

Well this is the statement from the EBU on it in 2022:
'The decision reflects concern that, in light of the unprecedented crisis in Ukraine, the inclusion of a Russian entry in this year’s Contest would bring the competition into disrepute.'

I've been a Eurovision fan for years, but I didn't watch last year and I won't watch it this because of Israel being allowed to participate while committing genocide.
Russia got banned for invading Ukraine, but apparently Israel is allowed despite their actions because Eurovision is not political!

Thank you! I first learned it from a dispute between the masons' and tilers' guilds in York!

I'm afraid my Russian is very rusty (and wasn't very good to begin with!).
I suppose it depends on how exactly you translate it; could be polisadnitsa, plitochnikova or even kirpichnikova, depending on your preference!

Tyler was an occupational surname for someone who made or laid tiles or bricks, historically

one thing that fascinates me about the modern techbro-fascist movement is their complete fascination with destroying their own personhood. previous fascist movements flirted with it, sure, but they always promised an elevation of the human spirit through obedience and submission to the state

To those saying ‘the NHS is a bottomless pit of money’ please take a look at this graph from the commonwealth fund, (an independent think tank in Washington that assesses different healthcare systems) in 2024.

We spend less than many comparable countries on health.

One of the things I've encountered at work that is so disheartening is how divorced from reality so many people's beliefs are. People convinced that the country is overrun by migrants and that soon we'll be taxed at huge rates just to give that money to them; that they live easy lives we pay for

Oh, it is this time of year again: did people in medieval Europe have a different relationship with work and free time than we do? Yes, of course. Did they just lie around half of the year doing nothing and enjoying their church-prescribed holidays and basked in their free time?

No.

Jess of the Shire's videos are so good! She has such a way with words, as well as her videos having such a nice feeling.

Those are amazing! Makes me want to do an evil playthrough of BG3 now, and that takes a lot!

Those are incredible! I love the way you depict them
