Perhaps it wasn’t the most popular SE aesthetically, but it already had a place picked out in my museum!
Great intro from Robbie MacNiven, too 🤘

Can I just say I love the humility and earnestness that @malkydel.bsky.social brings to writing the Black Library. The “I can only run because others have walked” vibes in his Krakenblood intro are a delight. This IP only lives on in 2025 because of the love we have for it.

I know I’m juggling more than one active book here, but I always gotta have something #Warhammer going on. Cracking into this tonight!

One thing I love about the Hachette #CombatPatrol subscription is that it’s like a bit of Christmas every month.
Today’s shipment had a Premium Kit in there as well! 🤘

It’s been a few years since I’ve had rats, but I’ve had a rat-shaped hole in my heart ever since. My wife surprised me with a new cage and wonderful pair of boys tonight for my 51st.
Meet Horus and Abaddon, the newest additions to the family. 🐀 ❤️

What blows me away about this picture- like, genuinely compels thoughtful reflection beyond just nostalgia and reminiscence- is that my oldest at 15 is only 4 years younger than I was here.

Nice #Necromunda haul, and look at those authors! Annandale, Brooks, Flowers, Haley, Hill, Hinks and more. An absolute wealth of stories I can’t wait to dive into. (And at cover price, no less!)

Wow. My banner just arrived from the official Warhammer merch shop, and the size and quality of the banner are a delightful surprise. It’s heavy!
Thanks to (Tyranid fan) Declan for modeling scale.

Watched this with the kids for Hallowe’en and it was way better than I was expecting, just delightfully well-made and paced, and the perfect sprinkle of humor.

My pop culture “feel like I’m taking crazy pills” moment is perpetually seeing credit given to The Running Man for highlighting extremes of “reality tv” rather than highlighting its better lesson- the danger of deepfakes.

FINALLY! Why this thing is so damnably scarce is a mystery. It’s not “there’s some out there but they’re expensive” scarce, it’s literally “almost none out there” scarce.
Finally can complete the set!

My shelves are sorted by genre (40K vs Fantasy), type (softcover, hardcover), size, and then alpha by author.
So it’s by random chance that today’s new addition is making an already stacked section of the library even more epic 🤘

This is the second time in recent memory where the pictures of the book did no justice to how gorgeous it is in person (the last time was @squintywitch.bsky.social ‘s Fulgrim).
This is a stunning treatment of @malkydel.bsky.social’s Krakenblood.

Regardless the setting, the trope of robot fetishists’ rejection of emotion as a messy, human weakness is (over) abundant. Loved to see @johnfrench.bsky.social here play against it for this AdMech sister
