@HMBohemond I preferred the Grey Knights when they were all non-psykers. Thought it was a much cooler/unique way of explaining how they were essentially invisible to the Warp.

Grey Knight hate is as dumb as Ultramarines hate. It's predicated on two things: 1. A lore blurb so dumb it got retconned in later editions because it went against the lore of how Grey Knights work. 2. People not understanding that Caldor Draigo isn't overpowered. He beat Mortation by unleashing his True Name. Once again people getting their lore through sixth party memes from Youtube shorts and Text to Speech Device need to get themselves educated instead of.

@HMBohemond Not my favorite chapter but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the Ultramarines. IMO the lore/writing/etc in general since ~8th has sharply gone down hill. Too much “Marvelfication.” But I’m a grumpy old man that thinks 3rd/4th ed was the zenith of the lore/setting so YMMV.

We really need to lobotomize people who push 40k meme brainrot as canon lore because the Ultramarines are not "Mary Sues" in any respect. Even my Black Templar repping, Codex Astartes hating self can see that.

@Utahmus_Getamus @Grimedark I remember watching Conan the Barbarian with my dad around that age. Then he pulled out a box of his Lancer/Ace Conan paperbacks from the 70’s with the Frazetta covers. There was no going back after that. Miss you dad!

@Grimedark Terminator, Predator, Predator 2, Total Recall, Alien, The Road Warrior, First Blood, Robocop Puppet Master Series, Braveheart, Universal Soldier, Highlander, Body Bags, every thrasher Horror movie from the 80s, Die Hard, The Crow.. All watched by 6-8 year old Utah. 75% with Dad

Formative moment tbh

@Grimedark *In the Khan from Conan’s voice* That is good! That is good!

@Montius13 All recalcitrant dice rollers

220 tithed to the #CurlCrusade with the Big Homie™️ legion this morning. 28,120 remain. Goddamn that’s a lot of beef. Roll dice, go outside, paint minis, lift weights, become your heroes. Your daily reminder that the chuds own #40k

200 down for the #CurlCrusade. Hope all the Big Homies™️ have a great weekend. 26,050 remain.

@Grimedark Hell yeah McDoubles. Spoils of war. I ate a cheeseburger for breakfast every day this week.

180 heavies committed to the battle for the 28k sector. Preachers, spiders, and incline. Only 28,340/40,000 remain on the #CurlCrusade Took the Subaru-Pattern Land Raider out to secure McDoubles for the war effort. Your daily reminder the chuds own #40k

@Grimedark Same. Crimson Fists are one of my favorite chapters BECAUSE of art like this, that other Dave Gallagher one with the medics, that piece by John Sibbick from the Rogue Trader days, etc. Iconic. You have a great one as well Commissar.

@Montius13 This art FUCKS. One of my all time favorites. Have a good one Big Homie™️

200 more for Big E and the Big Homies™️ on the #CurlCrusade. Weekend is fast approaching and I hope the bros out there dominate the shit out of it like it is some disgusting xenos race. #40K rules. 26,250 remain.

@TheHarryBalczak All that said, like what you like man. I’m glad the setting interests you. It’s a cool place.

@TheHarryBalczak Orks are my favorite xenos faction. They carry on a fun & humorous/absurdist element from the Oldhammer days I’m rather fond of. Careful with some of the newer lore stuff you find on Y’Toob as a lot of it’s shit imo. In my heart, very little lore after 8th ed. (2013) is cannon.

@DumbRobotStuff Looks great man.

Here's how my new castellan lines up against a few of my other Black Templar characters

@Grimedark Why the fuck can’t any of them be cheap?

@Montius13 There’s always something. If you’ve got one hobby, you’ve probably got 10

Another 175 curls committed to the #CurlCrusade. The heavier reps are fewer in number, but the tithe is still paid. 28,650 still owed to the Golden Throne. Hope all the Big Homies™️ are having a strong week! Your daily reminder that the chuds own #40k

@Utahmus_Getamus @Grimedark @VDAREJamesK Yeah it’s been on the list to read for quite some time. Definitely the next 40k book I’m going to read. Praise be to Dan Abnett.

@Montius13 @Grimedark Eisenhorn is must read/listen. Something has stuck with me since Paul had @Grimedark and @VDAREJamesK on to discuss 40K. Paul said he had read 'Eisenhorn' on Kevin's suggestion.. and that there seems to be a HUGE buy-in to the lore/setting. Per usual Paul is spot on.

Guard novels, and Guard-anything, are peak 40k. The heroism of a normal human standing defiantly against horrific aliens and the force of hell is unmatched. Without the backdrop of humanity, the space marine is no longer superlative. Without fear, there can be no bravery.

Had time for 150 for the #CurlCrusade today. Was pressed for time, so minimal rest in between sets and I can definitely tell. 26,450 remain.

@Utahmus_Getamus @Grimedark The Gaunt’s Ghost books are easily my all-time favorite WH novels I’ve read (I’ve heard great things about Eisenhorn). Helsreach is a very close second, but a big part of that for me is the human/Steel Legion element.

@Grimedark After the Siege of Terra I'm going directly to Gaunt's Ghost

@Grimedark Thanks. Grew up doing a lot of Jeeping in the mountains, so when I found an older CJ7 in good shape I had to get it. Next goal is to drop a new motor in it. Just gotta find the time and $$$.

@Montius13 Man that thing is SICK.

@Grimedark I need to get the War Wagon back in commission…

@Montius13 Thanks big dog, trying to outgrow the land raider
