Well, honestly I would have expected exactly that. They would have essentially built them up to be like that and it would make them into essentially nearly all the same. They do custodes so early in life it kind of makes sense

Fantastic work, really like the boot details. Did you use the oil paint trick it seems lots are using now?

Cheers.
It was a recess shade. I used a contrast paint over the top of the base paint.

Just watched a bit of footage from the tithes, yeah that is pretty great actually. I’m thinking I’m going to grab plus for a month or two.

I picked up issue 2 as well. I'll be selective of which issues going forward though since it'll now run weekly @ £9.99.

Aye, I'm only really bothered about the Tyranid gribbly beasts and the Terminators. Not a massive fan of these newer look primaris space marines.

£250 on eBay for a new copy.
It cost me 99p, I found it in a bargain bin when Game was in administration years ago.

Watched the first two episodes of The Tithes. Not too bad. I still think they animate the Space Marines a little too clunky (the Astartes fan film has ruined every single other animated version of them for me) but the stories for both episodes were okay. The female custodes was... fine, I guess? Zero difference with a male one, which renders the whole thing a little pointless to be honest. I liked the way the psykers realised how fucked they were at the last minute
The main thing is GW need to be producing more than they currently do.
And give your writers proper credit, you fucking ghouls.

Ok, I’m just about done the end and the death 3. Has been freaking amazing.
I used to 100% be in the camp that the emperor knew, and planned for this. Now I’m 50/50 on it. I’m going to get back to the Ghosts and Ciaphus next but definitely going back to some of the previous heresy books I jumped over.

They seem to rotate them but yeah there hasn't been an audiobook collection for 2 years. (Sept 2022). Hopefully the next one will be that, probably in about 6 months.
Trogdor1123

Those are awesome! I love the multiple purples on the sheilds. Really adds depth. Clean basing too. My bases always look so sloppy by comparison.
I spent a few hours last night working on my sororitas. They are a tough set. Definitely a stretch for my skill level but fun just the same. My kid has finally decided to finish the tyranids that I put aside for her. I’m looking forward to having 3 combat patrols ready.
One thing I wish I could buy from gw is full 1000 or whatever boxes.

Managed to grab issue #5 of Combat Patrol. This is the issue with the unique Space Marine sergeant, which can't be bought elsewhere.
He's a sassy bitch.

Wonder when the prices are unveiled for those and they go up for order?
I’m tempted to preorder that canonness that went up for grabs today. 55 is a bit steep for a single mini though.

I saw the T&C and it said it's only for the US. It did allow me to try and link my amazon account with it and it showed the correct amount of 99ct.
Can i or can't i use the deal?

I bit the bullet hoping the Warhammer books would be on their premium plus plan but no luck.
Oh well, still 3 audiobooks for the price of a beer is a good catch.
Thanks for the tip, gonna stsrt with Horus Heresy book 1.
Any other recommendations on what to spend the remaining 2 tokens later on? Don't want to just take 3 first vol of the HH, some good standalones to pick?
Jinxed
Member
I'd read the first 3 books of HH. It's pretty downhill from there besides standalones and specific writers.
Dan Abnett is great, the first three books are a trilogy on their own. It was a very good read, although the Horus heel turn was rushed and cringe, imo

Have you read the Ciaphus books? I find them to be a refreshing in the world. They are funny but still hold the same dark under tone. The inquisitor books are pretty key to the ongoing story. Infinite and the divine is definitely a good read too even if you don’t like Necrons.
Gaunts ghosts is super great but dark as hell. The new lion book is pretty good, I finished it last night. Lots of questions in that one though and I’m not sure I like where this going but it could be really neat.
The way I started was I got the first 5 books of the heresy, loved them all, then swapped over to the seige of Terra series which is utterly fantastic.
I just bought the great work and helsreach. They are supposed to be good as well but I haven’t read them yet to weigh in personally.
You have a favorite faction? Might make it easier to recommend something.
Don’t look at the heresy book map either. It is 100% accurate but totally intimidating.
Anything read by Jonathon Keeble is bank though.

Eisenhorn.
Also book 4 of the Horus Heresy, The Flight Of The Eisenstein. The first 4 books follow each other before the series starts to branch out.
Doczu

Thanks for all the titles. The Infinite and the Divine sounds nice and i've seen memes all arkund the net. So that'll be token 2.
For the thord one i'd love to find a standalone of Battle Sisters (my main) or some good knighting action (nezt on my buy list is a knight set).
Any good or servicable reads for these two factions?

At the time, they figured the whole Heresy was only going to be a few books long, so there's a lot that's rushed in those first five or so books, that would have been stretched out a lot more had they known how many actual books it would end up taking.

Yep I remember reading they didn't plan for it to be this long.
It's a shame though, it was so good and all of a sudden everyone turns cold and become heels. Anyhow, I won't spoil, it's still a very good read. I like Abnett

Anyone got any recommendations for a good starter combat patrol? My buddy has tyranids and a startes. I have another friend who is a closet 40k nerd and
I may go for the 9th Ed Indometus pack and just shape a necron and astartes patrol out of it. It seems like a relatively good value for starting, and I really like necrons.

Halfway through the Gaunt's Ghosts Omnibus and it's good stuff. Im enjoying the grittiness and plight that these soldiers undertake, underscored by the fact that they are the last people of a destroyed planet, making every death a near tragedy.
That being said, is there more of this kind of stuff to be found in Warhammer lore? I'm open to reading about the space Marines and other perspectives from the much more powerful aspects of this universe, but there is just something to being immersed in the stories of these fragile beings caught up in this nightmare. Hell, even civilian stories would probably be fascinating.

gaunts is great. Ciaphus books are also fantastic too. Hardly any Super soldiers.
I too like the regular people stories and how they make do in this world.
