If I were, would I know?

Ty! I picked up a brush for the first time ever last year, there’s an eternal pile of sick arts and crafts waiting for you to get back into
I wanted a lord of change for my thousand sons army cause big bird demon wizard is too cool not to include, but was told kairos is only 10 points more and better so I slapped on the second head. One day I’ll hopefully be able to try the game and figure it out for myself~
No, it’s for horses 🐴
I met my fiancée on Bumble 4 years ago, but I also created this from my experience on the app:
People who don’t wear helmets are cowards. What are they so afraid of? Really gonna risk permanent brain damage on the off chance some other loser doesn’t think safety is fashionable?
I better start studying up then for if/when I eventually find 3 other folks willing to play it with me~
I was able to release on the 14th, maybe a few minutes after 12 their time. One of the lucky ones!
And yep all the small ones were impulse. I’ve never played any version of Splendor but heard great things about duel, and at ~$13 pfft that’s basically free.
I did scoop up Ark Nova before ever having played it lol, the deal was nuts. I did get a chance to play it at my LGS the following week and immediately felt good about the purchase. Grand ol time.
I didn’t look at any of the authors while reading the books, but while reading Thousand Sons (now finished) I was seriously wondering “does this author even like scifi/fantasy?” he has Magnus speaking like you’d imagine some uncaring Hollywood accounting suit would write while pumping out a minimum effort script to cash in on some familiar IP. Magnus and Ahriman alternate between moron and genius as the plot demands. Worst of all, as you said, it’s just boring as hell until the end. Checked the author partway and saw he also wrote False Gods, “yep that makes sense.” Horus is moron for plot in that too, with all the dialogue someone who doesn’t like scifi/fantasy would write to make fun of it.
I wonder if TS is so fondly remembered just because the last 10% is actually good. The Sons coming together for a final stand despite the betrayal of the Emperor and their own primarch, that’s all super interesting! If it started at the Council of Nykea chapter, TS would be a great novella.
Do you have any proof? I can’t find any evidence of Tesseract crowdfunding anything nor any discourse talking about any drama. Something like that would definitely have ended up on the progmetal subreddit
Are you sure you’re thinking of the right band? I’m not finding any information regarding a scandal like that.
huh?
I alternate between kindle and audiobook for maximum efficiency, thanks Emperor for having the options!
I’m glad you enjoyed Thousand Sons! The size and different flavors of the 40k Novelverse is part of the excitement.
The Sons being up their own asses and not being nearly as smart as they think they are is apparent, my gripe is that we’re beaten over the head with that fact for half the book before anything interesting happens.
This full sequence happens 3 times in the first third alone (entering the mountain, the titan, and tentacle hugs):
Then the scene where Ahriman and Magnus exposit to Lemuel so we the reader can be spoonfed the history felt like a scene that should’ve been left in the rough draft. I can’t believe self-important Magnus would take such an interest in a rando mortal, even if they are Ahriman’s pupil, and so excitedly regale them with the tale of the bird pieces.
I’m powering through and nearly done, it really picks up after the council of Nykea. IMO, the book should’ve started there as the rest could’ve been an email. Until then, all on-screen Thousand Sons all horrifically unlikable and not even in a fun way like the Sons of Horus.
Also not arguing and it works for folks. Magnus being an ouroboros of head-to-ass should’ve worked for me, but McNeil’s dialogue pains me even when not trying to make an inherently unlikable person seem sympathetic. Hopefully Abnett can flesh em out in Prospero Burns.
Legion sounds like my next stop after 1K Sons series, but should I read First Heretic->Battle for the Abyss first, or go straight to Legion then Know No Fear?
Angron books are something to look forward to then!
At least Siege of Terra is something to look forward to, eh?
They’ve been teasing us with studio photos since 2020!
Tesseract and Periphery have both in my top 5 bands since their debuts, Hail Stan was my 2019 AOTY but P5 is my least favorite album they’ve ever put out. Reeeeaaaally hoping for some good Tess to claim it this year.
Thanks! The wings were the first thing I did, felt most comfortable for what I was going to do with them and how, having done similar for other daemons in my army. Knocked that out quick. I spent the rest of the paint time being indecisive on how to do the skin, heads, greebles, and ya know, everything. Repainted soooo many times while avoiding touching the wings with all might
