  1. Kindly, keep dark elf slaves out of the Space Vampire thread.
  2. Mephiston (Re)Reborn! We’re incredibly excited about the updated Mephiston model, and we wanted to share that joy with one of our biggest fans. We sent the model to Paul Murphy, the host of the Forge the Narrative podcast and a longtime Blood Angelsfan, then filmed the reveal to capture his reaction. Check it out! Mephiston is the Chief Librarian of the Blood Angels Chapter of Space Marines, but his other title is the ominous-sounding Lord of Death. He was the first (and only) of his peers to master the Chapter’s curse – the Black Rage – gaining immense power and the admiration* of his brother Space Marines, even if some question whether the price was worth the prize. Now, he’s conquered death itself by crossing the Rubicon Primaris, making his title even more appropriate. The impressive new miniature is inspired in part by the classic Mark Gibbons artwork from the Angels of Death Codex, with added nods to the increased size and physical power of Primaris Space Marines. Mark your calendars – Mephiston will be available to pre-order on the 30th of November, alongside the next chapter in the Psychic Awakening series, Blood of Baal! We’ll be taking a closer look at both Mephiston and Blood of Baal in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out. In the meantime, you can read up about the Lord of Death in Darius Hinks’ Mephiston: Blood of Sanguinius! * We all know Space Marines know no fear… but when it comes to Mephiston, most are probably at least a bit unsettled.
  3. So, I was at the pot shop and the nugtender does something sets something down and then turns to one of the other tenders and says "I have spoken."
  4. Once they get their crap together, I think they are worth getting. They have quite an extensive catalog, but they also have poor security, at the moment. I watch more hulu than Netflix. I watch newer shows on other streaming sites. I'll pay for D+ as soon as they get their act together. It is suffering from first gen launch issues.
  5. Sad snarkiness aside, other reviews I've seen or read related to utilizing 2 and 3 in minis have all basically said it is for use in Art exhibits with specific lighting to produce a photograph like the ones we've seen pushed.
  6. I think we all wanted the Termagaunt to be a black cutout shape. I don't think any of us were surprised that it wasn't.
  7. They are releasing Episodic, not in a block. They have aired 2 episodes, so far. I think the season is supposed to be fully aired by New Years.
  8. I haven't read LWaC since high school. Honestly, forgot about it until I saw the cover. El Topo is from that same time frame, isn't it? There must have been something going around common in the collective thought.
  9. I call it now, FW is getting control of it, and will be producing updated models for the factions.
  10. Lol blasted by jawa ion guns Jawanese getting fleshed out is fun.
  11. And at 50 years old, 5 years ABE, that's 9 years ABY. 41 years old BY. Puts it same age as Anakin, and not likely to be Yoda and Yaddle's child.
  12. Wow, first episode is quite a ride. I heard on a SW vidcast that they used Green Screen and Unreal Engine for the majority of the show. This had me mildly concerned. Such worry was unneeded. Graphics were great. Tidbits of info provided. If the MCU shows hold this caliber, D+ is well worth it's cost.
  13. This thread will include spoilers. I believe there is a way to unfollow a thread, if you are a member that views things via new. If @pretre or someone else with experience in this can advise, it is appreciated.
  14. This is the thread for discussing The Mandalorian free of spoilers for the benefit of those whom are not up to speed.
  15. Faith & Fury Chapter Focus: Black Templars Few armies exemplify the tenets of Faith & Fury quite like the Black Templars, so their inclusion in this, the second book of Psychic Awakening, is the perfect match! In fact, they have an entire codex supplement’s worth of awesome (and zealously violent) rules within its pages, so today, we’re taking a quick peek at some of our favourites. But before we do, let’s just remind ourselves of who the Black Templars are and how they fight… Who Are They? The Black Templars are a successor Chapter of the Imperial Fists, created during the Second Founding in the wake of the Horus Heresy. They were led by Sigismund, the Emperor’s Champion, whose swordsmanship and remorseless death-dealing were legendary. He immediately set forth on a crusade with the full strength of his newly founded Chapter behind him. 10 millennia later, the Black Templars still rove the galaxy in crusading fleets, purging aliens, traitors and heretics wherever they may be found. On the Battlefield The Black Templars are notoriously aggressive in battle, and their Chapter Tactic in Codex: Space Marines perfectly represents their holy fervour. But what about their new rules in Faith & Fury? Well, there are loads! First up is Knights of Sigismund, which is available to armies comprised entirely of Black Templars. In addition to updated datasheets for their unique units – High Marshal Helbrecht, Chaplain Grimaldus, the Emperor’s Championand iconic Crusader Squads – Faith & Fury includes some incredibly thematic rules with which to marshal* your Black Templar crusade. New Warlord Traits, Stratagems, Relics and even a bespoke set of Litanies for their Chaplains offer the Black Templars enormous depth of character. For example, if you want to represent the Black Templars’ famous hatred of psykers, why not take the Epitome of Piety Warlord Trait to thwart their witchcraft? Rather than their own bespoke psychic discipline,** the Black Templars have six Litanies of the Devout for their Chaplains to choose from. Looking to make the most of a massed charge into the enemy line? Spearhead your attack with a Chaplain orating with Fires of Devotion to add some extra punch! The Black Templars have always had an affinity for the Land Raider Crusader (in fact, it was originally a variation of their own design), and have long mastered the art of launching devastating charges from these mighty assault tanks. The Black Templars deserve to shine above all others in this field, and the aptly-named Shock and Awe Stratagem ensures they do just that. Simply load up your finest melee unit into a Crusader and activate it when you charge to shut down enemy Overwatch and let the slaughter commence! Since the days of Sigismund, the Black Templars have favoured the sword as their melee weapon of choice, and their armouries are filled with countless masterwork blades. If you want to prove your Marshal’s mastery of the blade on the battlefield, arm him with the Sword of Judgement Chapter Relic and he’ll carve through anything in his path with ease. Faith & Fury also includes Tactical Objectives, a name generator and updated matched play points values for the Black Templars, so if these holy warriors are your Space Marines of choice, make sure you pre-order your copy this weekend. Until then, grab yourself a Land Raider Crusader to take advantage of the brutal Shock and Awe Stratagem when your book arrives!
  16. My sister is looking for work in nonprofit sector, preferably social issues. She has her Bachelors from OSU. Anyone have any suggestions or leads. SE Portland is preferred, but she can travel.
  17. Tam, that's what I've been wondering, are we getting Daemin Prince Mephi back, or?
