Kill Team Cassius sounds like something I should buy sooner rather than later then, if the Deathwatch are being fucked over.

I mean they might be able to be used in Kill Team itself I guess, but whether that’s a big enough market to keep making the models who knows.

Hmmm. The Ordo Hereticus set is £108 on Element. It has the Immolator, which I definitely want and is a reasonably expensive model at between £45-50 solo.
It also has -
Ministorum Priest (fun mode) Greyfax (fun model) The henchmen (I really do think these are neat) The Arbites (these are awesome. Like Judge Dredd gone SWAT)
But then it has ten Battle Sisters which I need like a hole in my head.
I could build them as a Dominion Squad as I already have two squads of 10 sisters.
I think I’m just getting the FOMO aren’t I and should just collect sisters at an ordinary pace. But the crack…

I'm moving house in 3 weeks and finally got round to clearing out the loft. 'Out of sight, out of mind' really is true for wargaming things. Probably for everything to be fair, but definitely for wargaming.
I found an unopened 9th ed 40k release box, unopened Cursed City, an entire unbuilt Soviet 1944 Bolt Action army, 2 Bolt Action starter boxes (Island Assault and Gentleman's War), full 1500 point German, British and US armines (including separate 1500 point Airborne forces for each), enough 15mm Flames of War troops and tanks to recreate D-Day in 1-1 scale, a huge chunk of 28mm ancients (Romans, Gauls, Germans and Macedonians), about 40 rulesets and oh so much more. That doesn't even include the shelves of stuff I didn't put in the attic, or all the associated terrain.
Truely worrying. I've filled the spare room with it all, and 95% of it will end up in the loft of the new place.
So will this change me? Almost certainly not, but some of that will be making its way onto Ebay once I've moved as I cannot see myself ever getting round to building,painting or playing with it.
Well, that's what I've told Mrs Handles at least. It's ridiculously hard to part with these things isn't it?

I just checked and an Indomitus set (unopened) sold about a month ago, just shy of £200. Reckon that shifts really quickly if you price it right. I’d have snapped your hand off for it a couple of months ago before I bought other stuff.

More new Blood Angels out, Sanguinor and Sanguniary Guard. Available to see in the usual places.
Kinda like them, but obviously no utility for me. Death Company got done dirty though.
There are too many ‘Death’ things in Marines. I often forget which one is which. Watch, Wing, Company…Guard. I often forget which is which tbh.

Tip:
Step 1 - Go eBay, search for "Imperium Magazine"
Step 2 - Marvel at what you can get for half the boxed price
Step 3 - Reap benefits

Since when did the Imperium have all these actual Angels on their side??? Anyway, the Sanguinor isn't as tough as the Sanguinator! And the Sanguinary Guard aren't as saunguiny as the Sanguiniest Guard.

LegendaryApeOr whoever… It’s everybody’s Fontgeek Favourite, Auspex Tactics with the Combat Patrol rundown: youtu.be/DLK_PZPAN70?si=2HySEs3teeYXzqnsMy thoughts - if you can deal with the odd bit of shady business practice and probably rubbish customer service, it does look like a PHENOMENAL product IMO, particularly the premium sub which has some *really* nice extras (Brutalis Dread AND Hive Tyrant with your 15th delivery for instance). However, it’s a hell of an undertaking to build and paint all that. Am I tempted? Of course - but it looks like it’s going to start with a plethora of marines and Tyranids stuff I already own. I think anybody that actually bought Leviathan is going to find a lot less value in the early stuff. If I win the lottery this week I will subscribe and offer anything I don’t need as freebies. So watch this space, obviously. Other thoughts - I don’t mind the Sang Guard and think there is a collective hysteria going on about them.

Was Clooney your favourite Batman Also, Combat Patrol Blood Angels is being yeeted. Anybody that wants a great Primaris starter set needs to get it 3rd party quickly. I will be interested to see what they replace it with. It would be amazing if they used it to launch assault terminators that come with an upgrade sprue.

This is very unfair of me but Auspex Tactics delivery makes me completely unable to listen to him.

Nah that's absolutely fair, and I reckon he'd agree with you. He knows he's monotone.

Monotone and yet still goes up towards the end of a sentence making it all sound like questions...

A thing with Auspex is that he’s the equivalent of that person at work that reads off the slides in a presentation (almost - he does expand beyond this).
You can therefore absolutely mute him and just read his PowerPoint, skipping through most in a minute flat.
He can be quite droll if you give him the chance. I appreciate him. It’s bang up-to-date content and it’s the opposite of a lot of the worst excesses of SHOUTY YOUTUBE.
I don’t mind that Vampire VTuber lad from the north east either. It’s a gimmic and a half that but it’s quite fitting for Sisters (he mainly does Sisters and GSC) I think with the whole cathedral backdrop. Both are relaxing listens to me.

Yeah I quite like AT because it's very, very low key. Except for the searing white backgrounds

Interestingly I just came across an Instagram post where somebody has played him and twigged based on the voice! His Knights are very well painted. I also got curious and looked at his estimated YT earnings - he’s comfortably earning A LOT more than I do by doing it, fair f*cks.

I mean he puts the effort in.
And careful with those estimated earnings, the cunts putting that info out there have been incredibly wrong before

Reckon I’ll hunt the first issue of Combat Patrol down and buy a few copies for the terminator captain.
I’m not that in to 40k in terms of playing but want to paint more. I’ve got a new termy squad that could use a captain and I’d like to try conversions too.

And now I'm down the 3D printed scenery bits rabbit hole.
These look like they'd need a fair bit of sanding, but for £7.50 and free delivery they are quite good:

I've said it before, but AT's delivery is very reminiscent of a disinterested budget airline cabin crew member giving the preflight safety briefing.
I don't mind him though (and he produces content like an absolute machine - when does he even sleep?!)

I’ve got a new termy squad that could use a captain and I’d like to try conversions too. A good thing about this model is that it’s a push fit base. That’s good for two reasons - painting the cloak unimpeded and because the base is really detailed. The fit into the base is really snug too with no need to glue.

I don't mind him though (and he produces content like an absolute machine - when does he even sleep?!) He's one of the biggest Warhammer channels on YT as well. There are lots of other creators who use fancy editing and expensive filming equipment who are less popular than someone with a shit power point presentation.

Yeah I'm very much on the well if you're going to just read the slides out loud send me the slides as I can read quicker. Though I basically also say this about audio books.
Also long twitter threads. Just put a fucking essay on a blog if that's what you want to do.
Maybe the written word is just a lost art form.
I also fucking hate stuff like the Great Book Of Grudges Total Warhammer YouTube. Where he just speculates for 30 minutes on a press release that you can definitely read in around 1 minute.
I am old now and shouting at the sky.

I've been thinking about it and while I will get the first few issues for the value alone, I might end up shoving what I have in the attic for now. I wanna finish painting that guy for the competition but it's something I'm dreading, rather than looking forward to. I'll probably come back around at some point.

Oh and his voice. Jesus. It's very uncomfortable to listen to for some reason. I wouldn't say it's boring, his speech pattern is so subtly random it hurts my brain

It's not just boring it's subtly really grating. Like it's not this:

I’m gonna go the opposite route then and post f*cking Weshammer or some other gobshite you’ll all see 😭
Alternatively, mute it, read the PowerPoint, absorb the delicious info and stop picking on the wee guy!
If there are alternatives I should be checking out maybe a good topic would actually be good YT sources. Painting, lore, news, anything.
