Have you tried Calibre to manage them?MAKE THEM PDF'S! Their epub3 usage means their codexes and battletomes are near worthless on Windows machines. That and make sure they are cheaper than buying them individually.

I'm sorry Mike but nothing can top the Rad Scorpions. I mean, it's in their name, they're just rad.

I kind of hope we get no more. From a narrative perspective, it seems impropable to think no character would eventually find their death. Yet once introduced on the table top for 40k, you know they won't take them away. "Sorry, Morty is dead now. Can't use him." So, tension is removed in the books when you know certain folks have plot armor due to the game itself. Unless I'm wrong and this has happened before?
Given the timeline most of the human characters from the fall of Cadia (Greyfax and the surviving Cadian's and so on) should be pushing 200 and walking around on walking sticks.
Whatever you do Mikeside, we look forward to seeing it.

I really REALLY despise priming models. Primed a few of them tonight for my player's characters for my Wrath & Glory campaign and checked on them a few hours later and all of them were fine except one. Like half of the primer had clumped and cracked and just looked awful. I haven't a clue what I did wrong, I primed it the same way I did the others and they were all fine. It wasn't even humid out and I just left them to dry in my basement. But noooooo the one little bastard decided to be a temperamental shit-stain and not dry properly. I'm tempted to get a fucking air brush solely just for priming to mitigate this problem. I'm getting real sick of wasting money on models just for them to be ruined by no mistake of my own.
I would ask if anyone knows a way to get primer off a model but I smashed the model to bits in a fit of rage so whatever.
I quite liked Deathwatch, keep hoping we'll get another sequel with those characters.I read Deathwatch (by Steve Parker) last week, and found the way it touches on the secrets of the members detached from each Astartes chapter quite interesting. They effectively all have a psychic block stopping them (and particularly librarians) revealing/scrying each other's secrets, which is just as well when so many have some dubious ones. It's cool that, of the main team, half of them are from chapters that haven't had much coverage, particularly the Exorcists and Death Spectres of the 13th founding.
The sequel, Shadowbreaker, is out in October. Just as well as there were lots of unresolved plot points!I quite liked Deathwatch, keep hoping we'll get another sequel with those characters.
Been saying it before, I'd love a movie set in the 40K universe focusing in a Inquisitor, a band of Imperial Guards or something that doesn't quite go into the full insane extent of everything 40K. A movie based on Eisenhorn would be perfect. Or Cain. Or Gaunt. Something to start off with that, if they would bring in a Space Marine at some point, could convey the feeling of meeting one of the Astartes as a human, before they would go on making the inevitable live action Smurf movie.What I do think would be wonderful would be a police procedural based on Chris Wraight or Dan Abnett's inquisitor books. Smaller scale, investigative stories with the sci-fi horror theme, just a handful of characters so more room for imperial weirdness. The Carrion Throne', as a novel set on earth in 40k, was the most evocative 40k fiction I've read in years.
That's a really good point, you need the human POV before you shift to the Astartes.Been saying it before, I'd love a movie set in the 40K universe focusing in a Inquisitor, a band of Imperial Guards or something that doesn't quite go into the full insane extent of everything 40K.

And intro to "this is how shit life is for humans, welcome."
Yeah, it's why I quite love the Astartes youtube series that someone's been making. Unlike the Ultramarine movie, they become something else entirely when they don't have any speech, any face to look at, any personality to gauge but are entirely put up in comparison to "ordinary" humans.That's a really good point, you need the human POV before you shift to the Astartes.
ngl, kinda excited about the rumored potential imperial fist codex and return of dorn.

In the Ultramarine movie the Astartes came to look like more or less just larger-than-average people in power armor because there was no real comparison to what an ordinary person was within the same universe. These short films makes it very, veeeeeeery clear that they are on a level that can be ascribed to something above human, demigods in a sense.
That I think is a much better introduction. Set the baseline of what we, the human viewers, are in this universe and then just orbital drop it to death with what the Astartes are to really set the tone. Make them larger than life, hard to understand etc.
(Still hope for a return of Vulkan)

I've often thought this. Years ago you'd never have thought Marvel comic book movies would become the monster Box Office draw that they are today. Surely the same can be said about other "niche" genres. They just need marketed correctly, written well and directed competently with a modest budget.
I haven't painted very much lately and posted even less, but here is my Terminator librarian conversion.
