My 9yo daughter: This is the Purple Sun, and this (brings out Blood Bowl ball) is his son!

Well, I have made this particular Veteran a Black Shield. Make of that what you will.

A somewhat reasonable attempted green glaze on a Deathwatch Xenophase Blade.

Spent the whole evening glazing various greens (and blacks, whites and yellows) to get this Xenophase Blade looking like I wanted to. An evening well spent in my opinion.

Cover of the audiobook of Fall of Cadia by Robert Rath

It's been a while since I've been emotionally moved by a book, but there's one scene in here that had me tearing up (not ideal when driving, I must admit). I can see why it's so highly recommended.
The usual high standard of story telling I've come to expect from @robertrath.bsky.social

Your book is on my wishlist, so I hope to have it soon.

Text on crime and punishment in Medieval England erroneously claiming that Iron Maiden were a thing (they weren't).

My daughter's history homework. Do I need to get @fakehistoryhunter.net to visit the school?

Any annoyed looking Ultramarine squinting

An angry Ultramarine gritting his teeth

An older, white-chaired Ultramarine with a disappointed expression

Three perfect examples of the Ultramarines mindset:
-Annoyed that you don't follow the Codex Astartes.
-Angry that you don't follow the Codex Astartes.
-Too old and tired to deal with the fact you don't follow the Codex Astartes.

The instructions: the arms and weapon are 3 components

Me: I raise you 7 components and a paperclip.

Hopefully I've done a good enough job that it looks seamless.

I feel your pain. I saw my last preorder (Kill Team) at Warhammer World two days before I could pick it up, and then on the Saturday I was busy from 9:30am until 7pm so couldn't pick it up until late. Patience is needed.

New Deathwatch shield (left) vs the old (right)

New Deathwatch power maul (top) vs old (bottom)

I slightly prefer the old Deathwatch shield to the new one as it'll look consistent with the rest of my collection, but my word has the power maul had a glow up.

It took a while to get round to, but I have painted Brother Annihilatus and given him a scenic base full of his slain foes. Super fun mini diorama to work on. Might add some more skulls later.

This evening I have been painting some Battlefield Trophies. My first time painting a Kroot, Vespid, Aeldari and Beastman, incidentally.

English Roundabouts   They’re making the roundabouts great again by painting the flag of St George to keep our circular road systems safe from the dark, satanic hordes. What do they want? Patriotic junctions! When do they want them? Before it’s too late. Good old-fashioned English roundabouts, as decreed by Alfred the Great. Behold the sacred intersection, this blessed plot, this septic isle. English roundabouts for English people, draped in red and white and bile. St George is cross, as well he may be – whipped-up hate, he’s seen before. Give way to the right, the road signs rage, and the far right most of all. Brian Bilston

Here’s a poem called ‘English Roundabouts’.

The levelling up does slow down. Also, I found that after completing the introduction I had a firm enough grasp to realise I wanted to okay a different kind of character entirely 😅 I have since started a new game with the character I now want to play.

Would've been rude to say no. Also, excellent work.

Same energy.

Why limit yourself to just the pauldrons in this kit? You must have spares in your bits box, right?

Kitbashers and Deathwatch aficianodos, you say? It's like this kit was made for me.

2 years living in Russia and hearing only Americans speak English in that time left me with some kind of mid-Atlantic accent that no one can ever place.
"Well, you sound like you're a native English speaker, but you're obviously not English..."

FWIW, I do prefer the original Deathwatch shield to the new one. Luckily I still have some spares in my bits box.

The original had character because it was characters, rather than sculpts that can be any one of a highly diverse set of chapters. This new set allows for way easier kitbashing with heads and shoulder pads from all manner of Space Marine kits without conflicting with the base sculpt.

Me: Ah, I've been sat at my laptop working all day. Time to go relax.
Also me: [Immediately sits at personal laptop to play Dawn of War: Definitive Edition]

GOV.UK article link headlined "AI to help police catch criminals before they strike."

I'm not the only that's seen Minority Report, right?

Probably my favourite Space Marine and human interaction in all of 40K literature. ADB showing the divide with his trademark touch of humour.
