Posting my miniature painting stuff for some of that sweet, sweet external validation. And maybe a political opinion or two.

@MachDominus The Terminus Decree is more interesting for its implications. The very idea of a plan after the emperor’s demise implies that the GK were thinking the unthinkable. The death of the emperor. The very concept would brand them witches and traitors and cause a civil war.

I hope I'm not the only one who thinks the Terminus Decree, while cool as a concept, is a little bit silly. It's the Warhammer equivalent of the Doomsday Clock, something that pops up every now and then to scare people, only to have no lasting consequences.

@ABAtilus @SquidVovoide In the lore, the other castes are forbidden from taking up weapons. But now I’m imagine Tau Isaac coming up with some bs loophole. 😆 ‘A plasma cutter isn’t a weapon. I’m not killing necromorphs, I’m dismantling them.’

@Thepasttimew I do wish we got to see pre-traitor Night Lords with a kind of gangster vibe to them.

@TearShapedHeart It works for me because since I have a lot of BA upgrade stl’s and I also collect orks. So as long as it’s a bargain, it should be an easy way to bulk up on generic units.

@shas_kais Those orkish space suits look dope. I now have the sudden urge to make orks in diving suits for some freebooters.

The Orks: -Ork Warp Engines are diverse; no two are alike. Some are created from looted Imperial engines. Others are novel creations. This makes Ork Warp travel less predictable and stable. Ork Warp navigation generally relies more on instinct than careful charting. -Instead of Gellar Fields, Orks protect their ships from daemons by placing totems, trinkets, and trophies on the hulls. Also, they utilize force field bubbles. If a few daemons make it through these makeshift defences, the Orks don't mind as long as they put up a good fight.

White Dwarf issue 522 (March 2026) has a "Worlds of Warhammer " article that explores Space Travel in 40K. I thought I should share some of the interesting bits in the article for each faction: The Imperium of Man: -Warp Engines are huge and can only fit in ships that can match their size. -The Imperials utilize Gellar Fields to protect their ships from the hunger of Warp entities. The Imperium uses all types of Gellar fields. Some of the Gellar Fields are thought to use biological components -Like with all Imperial technology, the maintenance and operation of Warp Engines revolves around occult rituals and superstition, basically hopes and prayers, more than technical or scientific understanding. The biological components the article refers to are people! To be more precise, psykers. Unconscious psykers are entombed inside the Gellar Engines. The tormented dreams of those psykers manifest the bubbles of reality that protect Imperial ships. It's rarely shown and mentioned in 40k lore. "Ashes of Prospero" and "Farsight: Crisis of Faith" are among the handful of sources that cover it. The former has a direct mention of the unfortunate psyker doomed to unwaking nightmares. The latter has T'au discovering osseous material within a gellar field salvaged from a destroyed Imperial vessel, suggesting something biological was in there.

@AspirantLen I remember seeing these on kickstarter. But I had neither the time nor the money to support them.😭

Got my hands on some Guevesa Fire Warrior proxies, the most decent ones I’ve seen so far. Can’t wait to paint them up and have them join the Farsight Enclaves. 👽

@gr1mmas I also like the narrative that these demigods have sacrificed autonomy for cosmic power. It’s only the mortals who can truly drive the winds of fate.

@LondonVoxCaster Now I’m imagining the various aspects in mourning. Banshees wailing and pulling at their hair. Dark Reapers silent and dressed in their blacks. Fire Dragons lighting the pyres. Striking Scorpions shunning themselves. Dire Avengers reciting prayers and poetry.

@s0ulafein I always loved 40K in monochrome. I don’t if it’s the grimdark aesthetic or my own nostalgia for a GW that couldn’t afford colour images.😆
