Ascanius

If it's not 40K, it could be an AoS vampire or ghoul mount.

Rhu from Warhammer Community tweeted recently that he's moving from that team to the partworks magazines. Now, maybe that just means finishing off Mortal Realms, but maybe it means that they're going to be producing more in the future . . .

It's funny that we're on different schedules! Until this month I hadn't been charged since November 22 and hadn't received a delivery since November 28, but I got charged on February 21 and received a delivery on February 4. However, that delivery was for issues 20-23, which is a delivery behind your own schedule. I had a weird issue where they sent me an email confirming a cancellation I hadn't requested, so I had to ring them to sort that out - maybe that's why I'm behind. Unfortunately that November delivery was also mispacked - instead of Lord Felthius and the Tainted Cohort, I received one copy of the large sprue and a second copy of half of that sprue, which looks like it got snapped in half somewhere and mistaken for the small sprue in packing. Email them and they'll resend the issue. You just got yourself a full squad of Blightlords my dude. Yeah, it's all good, I'm actually painting them today! There sure are a lot of maggots on Felthius's cloak . . .

Today in the hobby I finished off these Sicarian Ruststalkers: (click through to embiggen)

That's rough! Everything in my parcel was intact, but it seemed like either the bag had gotten a bit squished in transit or someone had been overzealous in closing it up, because the magazines themselves were a little bent. It's quite funny that the clippers are an entirely different item from the ones they sell in stores, but as far as I can tell the mouldline remover is literally the same piece of metal that forms the head of the one they sell, just without the handle.

I've received my first delivery and I can confirm it was the first three issues.

Yeah, I'm not saying he writes the most exciting or intriguing books (well, I am, but that wasn't my point), but Abnett's command of prose is unequalled in the BL stable. I'm not saying he could never be topped, either, but the way he writes is so good that I don't see anyone topping him for a while.

It's clearly the best, there's no real competition.

I subscribed to Conquest after someone at work pointed out there was an ad for it showing on TV, and that clued me in that it was available here now. Faintly proud of the fact that my personal brand is strong enough that people point out Warhammer things to me at work . . .

TITH I have finished the gold trim on my kitbashed Black Legionnaires and gone back over the black armour plates to neaten it up.

Arise, thread, and rejoice in your new dreadnought iron form! I've finished some chooom for my own chapter, the Storm Walkers:

Two weeks ago in the hobby I had taken a week off work and got a lot done on my Horus Heresy Legions project. Last week in the hobby I had to slow down since I was back to work, but I still managed to get a fair bit done. Yesterday in the hobby I used the enthusiasm the Shadowspear announcement and Abaddon tease generated in my brain to do a fair bit of work on my Black Legion-aligned Scarab Occult Terminators, and nailed down the metallic blue for my Alpha Legion model. Today I promised myself and my wife that I wouldn't try to paint, because my back was complaining at me last night in bed, so instead I assembled a pair of Tartaros Terminators from Burning of Prospero. I may assemble some more of the Mk III Space Marines this afternoon and evening.

I loved that stuff, too, Marshal Loss.

There's a moment at the end of chapter 19 which feels like a reference to (ROT13) Gur Tbqsngure Cneg VV, given the dialogue and the character's name.
