Cricket is ace
The unwritten rule of cricket: NEVER bowl a bouncer to a fast bowler who can bowl 95mph back at you. 😭 After being struck flush on the helmet by a Fanie de Villiers bouncer, the South African slip cordon laughed. Big Devon looked at them, made a promise, and turned the second innings into an absolute warzone. Allan Donald later called it "the most destructive piece of fast bowling I have ever seen."🤯 Devon Malcolm turned a bruised helmet into a career-defining 9 for 57 demolition. 🔥

The whole point of 40K is that faith works. From the very beginning the Imperium works on faith. Not necessarily always “magical” faith but the believe that it works makes it work. Rick Priestley said as much as about it’s economy
How would this even work? Faith is extremely important to the chaos side of things so why would only Imperial/loyalists faith be useless? Also faith is deeply interwoven with emotion and should by all accounts have a massive impact in the Warp.

Orks, big techniques and mistakes just add character.
Most fun army to paint? Be honest.

Scalpel blades aren’t rigid and flex creating uneven cleaning. Mouldline removers are thicker and produce a more even result especially for heavier/conversion work. Don’t have to buy a GW one but they are a superior tool.
HELLO MY FELLOW HOBBYISTS! DO NOT BUY THE CITADEL MOLD LINE REMOVER, IT IS GROSSLY OVERPRICED AND YOU PAY FOR THE BRAND! REVELL MADE A MUCH BETTER ONE FOR CHEAPER! you don't really need one as the back of a hobby knife works great as is, but you may pick one up if you reall want

On Custodes breeding. The process is unique to each custodes, they aren’t a species they’re one off individuals.

Finished this marathon. Dan Abnett is the master of regional swearing. An interesting look at things from a less military perspective and good to see high ranking Imperials believing that they are the representatives of a god.

Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka sounds nothing like Margaret Thatcher and there seems to be a collective delusion that it does.

From the replies what some don’t get is that 40K can mean different things to different people and that’s OK. Art is in the eye of the beholder (small b otherwise I’d be crossing IP streams)
High brow culture experts might look down on Warhammer 40K as just some nerd hobby. But it's not. It's the most ambitious fictional universe ever created. It encompasses so many historical and religious archetypes that it is worthy to be called a real mythos. And it all revolves around a central figure - the God-Emperor of Mankind, entombed on the Golden Throne. A figure of Christ, Odin, Caesar, Atlas and Hercules all in one.

Excellent point on the true/false nuance. For me one of 40Ks actual intentional points. It tracks very well with the perception of really events. The official account, eye witnesses, historians all differing and add in outright propaganda and disinformation that’s what you have
Replying to @gr1mmas
Yup faith a duty is a common theme in both Dune and Starship Troopers. 40K just twists it into the grim dark versions. But 40K also adds in the nuance where many things can be simultaneously true and/or false.

No Rome and Band of Brothers at 28!! Absolute nonsense. Though nice to see Friday Night Lights placing highly.
