Every day I can’t get over the sheer greatness of this community. The amount of work done by the fans is...one of the brightest facets of the hobby. I don’t play. I was raised on tabletop games when they were (here in the U.S.) mostly civil war or WWII, Starship Troopers etc. These were mostly maps and cardboard pieces. Warhammer came out when I was a freshman in college. I got married and started having babies (my hobby lol). I’m trying to catch up on 30 years of lore. Thank you guys, you really are helping a Sister out! Baldermort, put your merch link in the description!

[@baldermort]

Oh thank you. Ah, I don;t bother as very little is bought. I don;t want to be pushy. I did an advert and everything. I have pushed as much as I can without feeling awful. Its just a mug and some tops. Its also only there as people asked for it. :) Welcome back to warhammer, sister. :)

[@cameronsharp2022]

They're not gonna call it a watch in 40k. To them this is what they called it. "The inquisitor looked at his watch..." also they're being more creative than just "watch" in the futuristic grimdark universe that it is. I doubt they even dubbed it the term "watch" at the time. Edit: a space marine is too clunky for a watch hence wrist mounted gear

[@jasonulysess3652]

So want to be sure I understand this. The Necrons detected a major Genestealer infestation that was concentrated in an area that a little orbital bombardment would of reduced to a hole in the ground. Instead they draw out forces from the city and when they encounter more resistance than expected for weeks on end they begin reducing the biomass of the area to ash. Meanwhile the local Inquisitor is pulled away from her personal mission of wiping out Xenos races that might be a threat in a few thousand years in order to supply Xenos intel that every lieutenant in the Imperial Guard should be briefed on before leaving officer school. A wonderful example of the Imperium's greatest enemy is it's self.
