Thanks so much! I've got so much Chaos trim to get back to...

He’s descending from his hero rock, not climbing it! The wind is hitting him from behind, not in front! All sorts of baroque ornamentation, but also a bedroll, basic tools, human stuff. Just incredibly well conceived.

I should probably paint mine.

This sentence alone is Drukhari microfiction

I do appreciate, though, that *knowing* you’re missing details can be frustrating or FOMO-inducing, so that’s always something to bear in mind.

Hope it’s not weird for me pop into this thread! Death of the author and all.

This is it, when it comes to the various nods and references in Abraxia. Picking up on those details shouldn’t be necessary to follow Abraxia’s arc in this book - but I did want to celebrate ten years of Chaos in AoS.

I dream of it

Again - this was without special knowledge of the studio’s plans for the duardin. But it’s nice to see the warp and weft of the setting continue to come together.

‘Keeping the door open’ in this context means seeding bull imagery among the Thorgiri in the first half of the book. And I imagined that Grombrindal would take it on himself to perform aspects of Valaya’s role - represented by his cloak, for the most part.

What kills me is that these are the videos they’re *releasing*

I got lucky, in that my year’s theme was horror and I’d just had a really gnarly trip to the dentist, so the pieces all kinda fell into place, space cenobite-wise.

I started writing for Black Library (with a Drukhari story!) via their open submissions, so it can and does happen! I’m sure you’d kill it.

I had a crisis of conscience signing these because I am definitely not established enough to just sign my initials. As a consequence, everybody who buys one is getting a mangled rendition of my full entire name.

Sometimes my entire name comes out as ‘Chib Twister’, but please know that I tried
