Accidentally crashed the Nagoya Warhammer store Armies on Parade yesterday - it was lovely to see such a full store and fantastic to see some really beautiful and creative hobby on show!

Thank you for the warm welcome hobbyists of Nagoya, and please tag your army if you happen to see it here :-) 🖤

Tbt last year when I gave a keynote about writing Deathworlder at the first Warhammer Conference!

A delight to have a captive audience to talk to about all things Catachan & the literary function of Tyranids as the sublime (which doesn't happen every day! 😂) 🖤🌴
