Blood Angel Terminator with Lightning Claws

*Sigh!* Yet again we get a model of a character I couldn't care less about. The Black Library have so many legacy female characters they could make models based on that many more people would be excited about, rather than her or that Raine character. I would love a Amberley Vail mini, she's a great character (I've probably said this before, but meh) Her, Kara Swole, Tona Criid, or Colonel Kasteen. Hell, the Tech Priest Felicia who was such a fun memorable character in my eyes despite being in only two Ciaphas Cain novels.

"The best way to lie is to tell the truth." Attelus Kaltos.
My story! Secret War
After his organisation is hired to hunt down an influential gang leader on the Hive world, Omnartus. Attelus Kaltos is embroiled deeper into the complex world of the Assassin. This is the job which will change him, for better or for worse. Forevermore. Chapter 1.
The Angaran Chronicles: Hamar Noir. After coming back from a dangerous mission which left his friend and partner, the werewolf: Emilia in a coma. Anargrin is sent on another mission: to hunt down a rogue vampire. A rogue vampire with no consistent modus operandi and who is exceedingly good at hiding its tracks. So much so even the veteran Anargrin is forced into desperate speculation. But worst of all: drive him into desperate measures. Measures which drives Anargrin to wonder; does the ends, justify the means?

It's almost like they just did a massive Cadian release they could tie this character into or something...

Okay, cool, don't care about that personally, in all honesty.

Looks at her trigger finger, looks at the MKVI Marines hands. Yep, fits right in with the rest of the Cadians. Haha. Awful.

Well now that you've said that I can't unsee how large that finger is.
The options provided on a one off black library novel character is cool though. Wish.. you know normal kits had that. *cries in ork*

Either
1) The skull is behind the stone in front and thus the whole skull and helmet are sitting in a small recess.
2) The original owner of the skull had the misfortune to fight, and die, against something that was wielding a super sharp cutting edge that sliced a clean edged chunk off their skill and helmet. With all the power, edge, psy and bladed weapons around I'm sure there's more than a few that can make a neat clean cut through bone and standard Guard Issue Armour

Currently listening to Godeater's Son, I think it's good. I like the narrator (always helps with audiobooks) though I forget his name.

There is a tie-in novel for the return of the Lion:
Alone in Imperium Nihilus, without the Emperor, the Imperium, or his sons, the Lion faces a terrible challenge. He meets a formidable Chaos warband led by one of his traitorous sons, and must call upon every ally he can. He’ll even need to rally his Fallen knights, who have been hunted across the galaxy as they awaited the day their father would return.
This is your first chance to read about the Lion’s exploits in the 41st Millennium – and to find out exactly what the Primarch of the Dark Angels has been up to since the end of the Horus Heresy. Not just sleeping, it would seem…
https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/03/29/the-hunt-is-on-in-the-lion-son-of-the-forest/
Of course it comes with the obligatory collector's edition that no mere human will ever see without paying one million dollars to scalpers.
The Lion: Son of The Forest will be released alongside the exquisite new miniature, available in a special edition fit for the Knight of the Nihilus himself. Limited to just 2,000 individually numbered copies, each signed by author Mike Brooks, this edition has a sumptuous cloth cover, detailed screen print art, dark green page edges, and a red ribbon page marker.
Yep, failing your customers is clearly the better option

Yeah, Brooks has some really good books under his belt, and importantly did some Alpha Legion stuff, which ties nicely with other developments on the novel front...

Not only that, but also the new Cypher novel, which includes... wild things. But it's not even out in general release, only limited edition, so all we get is filtered through multiple layers of interpretation.

I'm also specifically not quoting it, not even in spoilers, because locking significant story developments behind limited edition novels is a business practice i can't but detest and abhor

Nah, limited editions imho are fine in principle, once you have a process in place to prevent scalping and other problems in that vein. The way GW does them is dumb, but that's not a general problem of collector's editions.

Kindle is nice for sure, very convenient, but there's something about having real books, particularly hardcovers even if I never open them.

I thought that until I had to move my library and decant books to make way for new ones. Amazing how little room 788 e-books take up (or how much room 1119 real ones take up).

Yes, I re-read books so I wasn't always passing them on to charity shops and the like and was running out of space. Ebooks have given me that space back.
Apart from my 2000AD books including my beloved DR and Quinch reprint collection..
You know about DR and Quinch don't you judging by your bio block.

I guess that explains why after I fired up the kindle the other day to read a book it asked me if I wanted to remove it when I finished. I just checked and I have 4 GB free.
