I bought this kit RIGHT before the new #SoulblightGravelords book came out...
I'm not gonna waste it. Bought a 160mm base, and going to build it up so the ZD can be a Draconith.
...and I ran out of super glue, so...to the store I go!

I've had this mini built, and looking at me on my desk for ages now. For some reason, tonight was the night to make a start. What a fancy devil.

Ascetics meditate on mountaintops, seeking enlightenment and supernatural powers. Rajas stand before their palaces. Chariots roll and elephants march with armies to war. Now is a time of legend!

Now, back in 1987 (way before AoS) Games Workshop took its fantasy setting and adapted it for science fiction. That was Warhammer 40,000. It’s not “fantasy in the future,” the worlds have a lot of overlaps and similarities but they’re generally considered seperate product and lore lines.

The Empire in Warhammer Fantasy is not actually the Empire of Man - even if people call it that.
It has dwarf, halfling, elf citizens. Their closest allies are dwarfs. In older fiction, their biggest issue with vampires was not that they were vampires and more that Von Karsteins were secessionists

I really should not be spending so much time learning how dnd works to make a character that will never be used but as a fan of fantasy and fantasy-adjacent fiction it's probably good to know how one of the most popular "rpg" frameworks operates (+ foundational fantasy lore)

Writing is hard. Even with a well established writing schedule.
Example: this morning I stared at my screen for 45 minutes.
I had plenty of ideas and words, it was the motivation that somehow disappeared.
