I love the Space Wolves but thereβs only so much variation you can do. Here I can have one unit thatβs silver, another thatβs like pure chrome, a few that are different types of gold, some that are like marble or turquoise or stone if I want and itβs still lore friendly for the nerds that care
You could just paint them all the same way too but why
I am enjoying painting Stormcast more than Space Marines because the whole idea of their faction is you can have a bunch of different chapters band together as a unit instead of having to have everyone be part of the same subsection. So I can paint each unit in different colors and it works
Probably should read this now
Finished the first part of my Stormcast Spearhead, Yndrasta the Celestial Spear.

[looking in a mirror] i think this doppelganger version of me is conscious because look, every time I frown it also frowns
You find out who the fuckin boys are and what the town is on the whole goddamn A side of the album and then they raise hell on side B. And thereβs like 70000 riffs on every song that you will feel in your bones for eternity. A rich text.
I saw a post the other day where someone was like βwhat a great song, itβs in media res and you donβt need to know anything to understand thatβs going onβ but also itβs the sixth song on a concept album about breaking dudes out of anti-rocknroll jail and is enriched by that context.
βThe Boys Are Back In Townβ is a great song but idk that it is even top 3 on Jailbreak tbqh.
dudes truly, sincerely, and emphatically rock
You can now no longer legally use this paint on other minis. They will come to your house. www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...
Very telling that these massive companies are choosy about when they decide to actually enforce copyright
(whether you as the player agree with that or are delving deeply enough in the lore to question it is another question, but my recollection is we don't really even explore the idea that the UNSC might be morally grey until much later in the series)
I mean, on some level I am sure they know they're missing the point and don't really care
Itβs gonna be worth talking about how these images came to signify these things to these people without getting any of the specifics correct.
But then again, Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder was in there, and his deal was to be the most corrupt entertainment person possible
yes I am aware of the pre-Covenant War state of the galaxy but the point remains by the time Chief is doing his thing the game has cast the UNSC as largely an unalloyed good
I feel like it's always worth noting that the UN is literally the heroic good guys in HALO

also Yu-Gi-Oh for some reason
I think Iβd rather just see a Guy Gardner TV show more than Old Man Mal and His Old Man Crew at this point in my life tbh
Same on all counts! I saw SERENITY twice in its opening weekend back when I had time and ambition to do that sort of thing. But that also pretty much ended the story so *shrug*
Yeah, I would be shocked if they werenβt at least still talking
Anyway I donβt wish him any ill will, I like him, but it does seem a little desperate. Then again if he just wants to play space cowboy again I do understand that impulse
Yeah I think thatβs true
Probably! But more people watched and cared about CASTLE, THE ROOKIE, etc nonetheless
Itβs a spoiler and I think you need to observe it for yourself so I will just add that Gyllenhaal is acutely aware of other cinematic adaptations of FRANKENSTEIN and there is a point in the middle where that is made very, very clear and I hooted
Itβs also weird that Fillion, who has had a lot of other successful roles people like and currently has a significant role in a massive blockbuster franchise, is still beating this drum
