I feel like the new marines miss some of the joke of 40k, that hope is lost, innovation is outlawed and the Imperium's forgetten how all their stuff works.
The setting's been moving away from this for years. It hit peak grimdark in 3rd edition and has been layering brighter spots with every edition since. TBH, it's generally been to the setting's benefit. Nothing but grimdark gets boring.

Dear, Mr. Commissar

My name is Bulbasaur. I am eight years old. My dad said this year we are going on a krusade. Thank you for the new pwer armr. The helmet is warm. I like the many egal and skulls. How is schoola? I love emperor very mush. I am sending part of my alliance to help save him. I hope you go too!

I am ok. At skoola my little brothers call me names. They say I’m little to play in the krusade. They hurt my feelings. Dad says littel brothers are jelous. Jelous because I am big and strong. If they drink dad’s genie seed like I do, every day, they would also be big and strong! I miss my dad because he is funny pretty and smart. I want for chrismas is a bolter gun with orange stripes.

Please consider my letter.

Sincerely,
Brother B Bulbasaur

Not sure where to ask this, so just going to start here since it is 40k related

I just bought a new house and I finally have an actual hobby space. So far it's just a blank wall with a white 4 foot long folding table. The table will probably remain as my main workspace. However that leaves me like 0 storage and organization options. I am considering a shelving system or slat wall. Does anyone use either for their hobby space?

While I was at HD I saw the rubbermaid "track" system and that looked promising, and then I remembered slatwall as an option. However slatwall looks like you have to buy in to a specific slatwall system.

My wall is also very oddly shaped.

So it is 70" across up to 51.5" high. Then From there the horizontal gets gradually longer at about a 40 to 45 degree angle to a max length of 128". So for the most part I am just going to work with the 70" length up to about 7 to 7.5ft, and reserve the top really long area for a "cool stuff" shelf that does not have to be tied into the shelf system. I'm going to kind of wrap that around to the opposite wall by going over the middle window wall to the work desk wall.

Here is a couple of pictures of the space
https://goo.gl/photos/vnvjWxMBQLGF9GJQ8

I have my "office"/computer desk on the opposite wall. Don't mind the mess (or the camping chair!) it's still a work in progress as we are still working on moving in. Right now I can't really use the space till I get something in place to get the stuff off my work spaces. The white board is going to be relocated.

*edit* Bonus image https://goo.gl/photos/YNqtE7G7nwQVXwKW9 have a beaky I did for my sons Kill team box! (sorry I have no idea how to make google photos embed)

I assume by hobby area you mean a place you'll get to paint, and that's about it? Personally I would probably replace the 4' table with using something like a high table (like a bar table) with a workstation chair. I would then use the space previously occupied by the folding table for a cabinet or shelf. Is your goal to have things visible, or hide them away so that when normal people walk by it doesn't look like some kind of nerd alcove?

If it's the former then I want lots of information about Tyranids. Carnifexes and Tervigons in particular.

Good question. No. We are going to be making fun of Reece and Frankie from Frontline with very porrly written and stupid faction previews for the sake of comedy.

What's the Chapter that gets continuously poo poo on and has the worst luck. The Lamentors?

Don't they have barely enough marines to make a full company? It would be awesome if they recieved a boat load of Primaris Bigmars to fill them out and just eventually became an entire Chapter of kickass Bigmars through attrition.

Edit: poo poo, they're a Blood Angels successor Chapter, so would they be on the other side of the warp rift and unable to receive Bigmar reinforcement?
