Spoiler:


In an attempt to get clearer pictures, we somehow managed to turn this week’s reveal into – of all things – a mirror.See, it works.
But in all seriousness, that’s a frightful visage to be sure – one that we’re sure rests upon an equally delightful miniature.



14 Jan 2025
Spoiler:


We like to have a laugh here in the Warhammer Community transgression cube – though not too much in case the flensing barbs puncture a lung – but sometimes there comes an image that’s simply too obvious for jocularity.


21 Jan 2025
Spoiler:


The word ‘trident’ comes from the ancient Greek words ‘trid’ and ‘ent’. No one knows what they mean, but it’s probably something to do with the handle. Either way, the owner of this fierce implement must be an absolute hit at barbecues. Who grills with an ‘ent’ like this?

Spoiler:


A book is a window to another world, or so they say. The trouble is, when it comes to Warhammer, other worlds are real and they inevitably contain a multitude of inconceivable evil, which is why you gotta wear gloves and keep them firmly closed. Whose first novel is this?


04 Feb 2025


The Rumour Engine acolytes are a crafty lot, and after we stopped them bothering the Bugman's kitchen for more than their mandated Citadel Colour gruel,* they started sending suggestive food-themed images instead. We’ve shut that right down – it’s another month of chewing paint brushes for them – but those pictures aren’t going to waste. Just check out this tong-looking thing. Why yes, our salad tongs do have striped power cables. How else do you make them clack together to ensure they work?

It’s a very classic, early WHFB Chaos shield design, that one.

I’m wondering if it might be an exclusive model. Something a bit fancier for us?

first thought was kreulboyz, but their shields with tongues are slightly different. chaos seems likely, or at least, something fantasy/aos

Must be Slaanesh because the text uses the words
- frightful visage
- mirror
- delightful

All very much Slaanesh words from some miniatures or spells or whatever.

I think it’s a generic banner topper. What you’d use when you don’t want one of the chaos god icons

The face even looks like the deamonette face of the endless spell "dreadfull visage"

Something Emperor's Children related judging by the caption, although plenty of armies do use wing ornamentation for things.

For some reason I thought the cherubs were different, but you are right. Pretty similar.

Oh I'm sure the EC would have a transgression cube. Probably a buff coloured box they forced to sit in with no stimuli of any sort that drives them mad through lack of sensation. Perfectly boring, perfectly dull. The most excruciating of tortures you could inflict upon a follower of Slaanesh, exquisite in it's mind-numbingness.

Playing daytime TV.

The TV carefully crafted to be so insipid and mind numbing, those wanting to bunk off work or school are reminded there’s no point, as daytime TV isn’t worth it.

it looks really stiff, with no kind of bend, but that might be the angle. Ravenwing would be a compelling guess if DA hadn't already gotten their refresh for the edition

certainly could be a cherub. doubt it'd be EC. doubt it's for AOS (too artificial)

Could easily be a statue for something. Scenic basing is my guess.

Doesn’t strike me as Slaaneshi Fancy to be honest.

It’s almost certainly 40K though, and possibly scenery or centrepiece.
