Lots of new followers, so time for a pinned post!

Hi, I'm Cat, I've been hammering war since I picked up my first plastic power squatting space marines back in the late nineties. I'm an untreated AuDHD disaster, but at least following me means plenty of variety! ☺️

Sounds suspiciously like a plan! There's a few places in town that I think we could get a daytime table - I'm sure the same's true your side of the A64

It might be hopium/copium but I really hope it's paving the way. They've retconned and contradicted themselves before.

Ah but you see, this has a macro-tectonicus bolt-spontoon and is therefore different from the previous big square box tank /s

Other observations to come from the show - I actually really like the Corsairs. Maybe not to everybody's taste, but I'm a sucker for traitor Astartes without the chaos gribblies. If 11th ed isn't dogshit (looking at you, tenth) I'd probably pick them up for my Krakenborn successors...

The new Red Corsair traitor marines. Text reads: The Black Hand Fleet was formed by Caoránach, the eponymous Black-Handed Queen. It is said she gained her name by her habit of sealing her missives and communiqués with a print of kraken ink. Caoránach was a grim, vengeful warrior, and to be served a proclamation of doom sealed with her print was to be given a promise of death by her hand. It is rumoured Caoránach even sent a sealed letter to the Emperor himself, enraged at her gene-mother’s treatment after the Luna War, though whether it ever arrived upon Terra is unknown. At the great council of the Sundering, Caoránach argued against the splitting of the legion and bowing to pressure from an Empire that would not acknowledge their wisdom or foresight. Instead, she advocated for all-out war - a doomed prospect, but one that would see the legion go out in a blaze of wrath and glory. Overruled by her peers, she gathered her fleet and all those warriors who could not stomach serving the new Imperium, and left. From the prow of her flagship, the Carnyx she led her warriors into the black. At first, the warriors of the Black Hand Fleet waged a private war of revenge against the forces of the traitors, driving them into the warp, and the actions of this rogue fleet were tolerated - even supported. In time however, her wrath turned upon Imperial forces too, and across all four segmentae stories spread of Imperial vessels found listless, their crews slaughtered to a man and bearing the black-inked hand of Caoránach. Despite their best efforts to curtail her and bring her back to the fold, the Krakenborn were unable to corral her vengeful path. About a hundred years after the Sundering, all contact between the Krakenborn and the Black Hands stopped, and from that day none knew of what had become of their wayward sisters. It is thought likely that the Black Hand Fleet has dedicated itself wholly to the Dark Powers and is not counted among the loyalist successor chapters of the Krakenborn. A space marine pad. Iron rim, blue background, black skeletal handprint. A traitor marine. She wears black armour with a pad marked with a skeletal handprint.

Fucking glorious. Beautiful, incredible, gorgeous. They're canon, they're not just a 40k thing, they've been there since the start, you can make female Custodians and that means there's no reason you can't make female Astartes.

Fuck, yes!

Perfidious Royal Mail! You took my parcel to Stoke! It was dispatched from Barnsley! You took it in entirely the opposite direction!

Jail for Royal Mail! Jail for a thousand years!

I'm two episodes in and he's definitely growing on me. I'm waiting until I've seen it all before I cast judgement, but he's very enjoyable to watch. Love a devious bastard.

I am enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would!

I think I spent every other weekend in the Armouries as a kid - it was only like half an hour down the road from where I grew up - and now only slightly further from me, in the other direction. The BM has an exhibition this spring that I might see about getting to as well!
