What the heck kind of catapult is that.

Also: C.S. Goto with lady eldar, not a great start.

It looks like a double barreled shotgun at a glance. And yeah, the bundle almost seemed like an okay deal at first, but then I saw how many books were by C.S. Goto and decided I'd never want to do that to myself.

Now, I understand them going 90's CG/Poser 40k for C.S., but you'd thing Thorpe would rate more than a codex cutout.

Strangely, there's another cover for this novel featuring a different variant of the same eldar.
This one looks more like a baseball bat type to me, though.

MY LIFE FOR YOU!
I read both of the CS Goto Deathwatch books years ago. They are pretty bad. That eldar is supposed to be a Shining Spear, I guess, and she is one of the main characters. There is implication that she ends up falling for the main Deathwatch Marine.

And the best part. Dark Eldar sacrificing Craftworld Eldar to their god, Slaanesh. (Knowing nothing of DE due to it being an abandoned army at the time, I thought that DE were chaos worshipping Eldar for the longest time due to this.)

Isn't this like a human falling for an ork in 40k's dumb evolution-levels spacefrog backstory.

Hello, up for grabs I have an interesting item here. This is a custom made Monolith. It is made of cardboard and covered in a sand/glue mixture and then coated with a clear coat. It's pretty cool, and adds a bit of originality to any Necron army.

Yup, especially once you add in the basically genderless/neutered status of orks/space marines, respectively.

Considering what other Hams have done to hundreds if not thousands of dollars/pounds of kit and make no secret of it, I kind of doubt it.

TBH, if you have the patience for it, papercraft is a legit way of making vehicles for 40k.

Dear Agony Ork

I quite admire the asthetic of some of the miniatures from "Kingdom Death" range, specifically the more sensibly attired Knights. However they also produce a lot of miniatures that are very pornographic. Am I a bad person for supporting this manufacturer by purchasing the minis that I like just because some of the range is "adult"?

Sincerely
