Novocastrian, Bit of a nerd, painter of Warhammer (30k, the Old World, 40k, AoS, probably more) and I might even play games! Glad to escape the hellscape of the "other place"

No i am am absolutely the same! There is just so much to remember and i honestly don't play regular enough to keep it all memorised either! I did something Similar with AOS 3rd Edition but it was just a Google Sheet with what it was hah! but this breaking it up into the phases is a great idea!

I also finished up my Fallen Commander, the Last Cenobium. I'm pretty pleased with how he's turned out and I'm really liking this Fallen project atm

I feel like some of the sanguinary guard death masks on these would be absolutely stellar too!

Haha absolutely! I've had this idea for some Fallen for a while now. That idea of the rugged veteran Knight their robes all tattered and worn!

Oh, they're absolutely perfect for that too! I actually think these are some of the best marine kits they've done in ages!

I got a set of the new Red Corsairs to use as many have to make some #DarkAngel40k Falllen to go with that champion I made last month! I'm liking these already and I've not even added shoulder pads and Backpacks! Lots of potential! #warhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #PaintingWarhammer #spacemarine

Quote from yhe warhammer 40,000 5th edition rules rulebook

The most important rule is that the rules aren't allt hat important! So long as both players agree, you can treat them as sacrosanct or mere guidelines. - the choice is entirely yours.

I had a bit of a nostalgia wave hit me recently, and with that, I bought myself a #warhammer40k 5th Edition rulebook!

Tell you what though i don't remember seeing anything like "The most important rule!" in any recent book! It's fun to see that!

Back on my #darkangels40k #Fallen nonsense! And just enjoying the process of painting atm. No rush for anything and just having fun. I wanted something similar to the Dark Angels scheme but different colours, more Based on the Heresy schemes.

In image of a female space marine on a grey background, with a messy white border. The space marine is wearing battered blue armour, visibly battle damaged and decorated with painted markings and human bones. In one hand she holds a severed head, in the other a large harpoon.

The Heresy was hard on the Krakenborn. Forgotten by Humanity by the power of the Emperor, they battled both loyalist and traitor in their quest to seek vengeance and a reckoning on Terra. They slew all in their path, emerging embittered, broken, and furious.

My Fallen Champion model seems to have broken the instagram containment and did quite well, but there was a few people asking about colours and painting so I've thrown this together tonight! Hope you enjoy!

It's so frustrating. I too love Father Ted and The IT Crowd, and they've also embedded themselves I to my brain. And it's so disappointing
