Combat Patrols could be a huge deal, IF and only if GW plays their cards right. They should be using White Dwarf, and the Warhammer App to release all new mode legal builds with Datasheets for each faction intermittently... 🧵

I see there's discussion in the #warhammer40k world again about female space marines and guys saying they are loyal fans and will abandon Games Workshops if the introduce female head kits and more female characters.
That's dumb. You don't have to buy them.
Just don't buy them.
Also arguments about how people like me (started the hobby a year ago) are ruining things because we're interested in seeing such things.
Sorry, but objectively, my dollar is worth more.
I only started last year and barely have one army. I'm projected to spend way more in future
These oldschool guys have already have big armies and are really only buying bits and pieces of the brand new stuff.
Whereas at some point after I'm done with my Tau, I'm going to buy a whole-ass Tyranid army from SCRATCH.
And if they make female marines, they get that cash too.

let's talk about this some more—the fact that @elonmusk and @mtaibbi and other villains of the world truly do resemble *cartoon* villains, comic-book villains...partly because they all copy their styles from cartoons and comic-books. but then, so do people who aren't evil.

I've got nothing against people who copy their style from, I dunno, Sailor Pluto or Kamen Rider Ghost or whatever other really *heroic* people are to be found in popular entertainment. it's not copying comic books that's the @elonmusk problem; it's copying the Bad Guysâ„¢.

and they all are aware of it—galloping villains like @elonmusk and @MattWalshBlog and @jordanbpeterson, and even more sedate and faux-civilized villains like @DouthatNYT and @thomaschattwill are getting to the point of mere *irritation* with talk of morality and justice.

let's talk about the wacko racist crap a little bit. it's not just @NateSilver538 farting out tales of Chinese evil scientists creating all the world's diseases. the whole @elonmusk / @mtaibbi / @MrAndyNgo / QAnon-ish set is super into whackadoo nonsense about "cabals".

(1/x)
the "gender critics" of the @bindelj / @Docstockk camp are super into conspiracy theories of their own; @HJoyceGender copied antisemitic fantasies from Jennifer Bilek into her own work, blaming the existence of "TRAs" on some murky Jewish doctors' plot or other.

@HogwartsLegacy is an *entire game* pitching antisemitic blood-libel trash to the fascıst #JKRowling / #HarryPotter / @RGalbraith fandom—bigots are Rowling's chief base of support, and the Rowling fanbase no doubt overlaps heavily with the @mtaibbi / @NateSilver538 fandom.

1/ Using Steam as a single measurement, #warhammer40k #Darktide appears to be off to a good start. Sales have been in the top revenue for a 3 weeks. Throw that #PCGamePass payment in there and Fatshark is likely pleased with results.
2/ There are reasons to buy Darktide on Steam, especially with multiplayer not working across digital storefronts. That said, there isn't much to the idea (today) that GP is eating into traditional sales. GP simply isn't in a phase where that kind of impact is appreciable.
3/ Consider the scenario where #Xbox Game Pass has millions more people in the program (perhaps 80 million). That would probably be a different conversation.
But!
It's logical to conclude that Microsoft would likely attempt to be competitive with payments. The revenue is there.

I've been messing around with #AIart and #midjourneyV4. This is a little project of a fictitious adaptation of #warhammer40k done by different directors at different times (ordered chronologically 8 images/director). Quite interesting :P

Mission 7 - Decoy

After successful missions against key Cognitor Banks, #Ultramarines First Captain Agemman decides to launch a major strike against a major Genestealer concentration aboard the SpaceHulk codified *Final Absolution*. (1/n) #WarhammerCommunity #SpaceHulk
So as to maximise the likelihood of successfully infiltrating deep into the Genestealer-held territory, Tactical Command on board the #Ultramarines Battlebarge *Caesar*, has ordered a decoy operation mounted to deceive the Swarm as to the Space Marines objective. (2/n) #SpaceHulk
Brother-Sgts @aquestingvole and @mcribbHistory, rearmed and repaired, are selected for the honour of conducting the decoy strike. Clad in the finest armour of the Imperium, and armed with bolter and blade, They Know No Fear. Not even that of being simple bait.. (3/n) #SpaceHulk

You asked, so here it is. A nerdy thread on #AstraMilitarum logistics in the #Warhammer40K universe - a side project of mine. Mixes background with my own experiences as a staffer and reading as a historian. Many guesses and assumptions. Collar tabs must be this red to enter.
This all started with a spreadsheet that lists each company type's supply requirement, how much it weighs, and how long it takes to use up. e.g. a gasmask canister weights 2kg, needs replacing every 10 days, so you need 200g of gasmask canisters/person/day.
There's three consumption figures - one for static, one for defensive ops, one for attack. Eg. a standard ten-platoon #Krieg infantry company needs 4,500kg of supplies/day when static, rising to 33,000kg when attacking.

There's a difference between a con-artist and a grifter. A con-artist is just a gabby mugger, and when they vanish with your money, you know you've been robbed.

A grifter, on the other hand, is someone who can work the law to declare YOUR stuff to be THEIR stuff, which makes you a lawless cur because your pockets are stuffed full of THEIR money and merely handing it over is the least you can do to make up for your sin.

In the Moist Darkness of the 34th Millennium, there is only Cum.

In this TED Talk, I will be Headcanoning the Sexual proclivities of various Warhammer Races. This is not a shitpost, I've done research. (1/)
First up: Humanity. Surprisingly enough, their sexual mores are *diverse*, if rather vanilla. Gender, Creed, and Sexuality are interchangeable, and one can love, marry, and have sex with any consenting adult they wish, with the following provisos: (2/)
1: One must dedicate their lovemaking to the emperor, for it is with his love that you may love.
2: Kinky shit is okay as long as it doesn't get too Chaos-ey.
3: If you live on a forge-world or are of the Astra Militarum, you must have at least one child to replace yourself.

My guide to painting black armour in 6 easy steps.

#warmongers #warhammer40k

Mostly drybrushing and shading (no edge highlighting!)

Note: This is using Citadel paints. I primed the model black using a spray can of Chaos Black but I forgot to take a picture of that.
Step 1: Base coat all the areas you want black with Eshin Grey.

Keep the paint thin and do two or three coats. Use a big enough brush to keep the paint smooth. For a model this size I use a small or medium base brush.
Step 2: Drybrush the model Dawnstone.

You're trying to pick out all the edges here so that you'll be able to see the detail. I use a large drybrush.
