The working conditions aren't great, but they throw morale-boosting pizza parties every month.
I think it's funny how in Warhammer, Nurgle's domain is just so much less appealing than the other three Chaos Gods, so to compensate they just made it canon that Nurgle is a cool boss. Like yes, he will give you turbo syphilis, but he's the kind of god you could have a beer with. In the Warhammer universe, people fall to darkness because they become overwhelmed by violence, become incredibly horny, desire terrible arcane knowledge, or because they didn't get a raise even though they've been going above and beyond at work this year.
That model is still less gay than the original Dark Angels.
I can imagine Fulgrim looking a little uncanny (to quote a forum thread not even slightly related, he should be "straddling the line between alluring and disturbing"). But he shouldn't look ugly. He should be beautiful, but with this creeping feeling underneath, that something isn't quite right.
Did you see Snek Fulgrim back? This is a masterpiece! This is why Lucius, Saul, favius etc. has beautiful arses 😄
Yeah, I've seen this and to be honest, I don't really know how to feel about it.
The sculptor, who did this model, said in an interview, he made Fulgrim's face ugly on purpose (because Chaos, yadda, yadda), despite him being described as beautiful in the novels (yes, even the demonic version. Terrifyingly beautiful - and the new miniature's mug is anything but beautiful).
So this overdimensional gluteus maximus (that isn't needed for a snake) smacks of ridiculing Fulgrim and pigeonholing him into something, because it doesn't come from a place of love by its creator.
Yeah, I know, I may be overinterpreting things here, but that's just how I feel.
If you love the model - absolutely all the power to you!
But I won't buy it. Those are my Fulgrim-minis and when my hobbyspace is up and running again, I will paint them.
Really the people arguing that are just trying to make Perturabo seem super important. They understand his need for praise as a need for others to not receive praise.
'oooohhh perturabo is the only one who actually did anything for the heresy' EXCUUUUUUUSE YOU.
LOOKING PRETTY IS 'DOING SOMETHING'. its for morale i'm keeping morale up.
Just printed a mini in resin for the first time in several months (since any resin printing I do is through my college).
Just gotta keep telling myself it's worth it for the final product.
I thought the Custodes were supposed to have the finest equipment the Imperium could supply.
did you know? the Sabbat-pattern helmet used by the Sisters Militant of the Adepta Sororitas was designed with a liftable visor so that they can kiss and make out with each other while wearing it (they may have to tilt their heads a little).
this is true and canon. verified information.
He's the best primarch for a reason.
The silly series continues.

I love how, in any sane setting, the T'au would be The Villains, capital T capital V, but in 40k they're about the closest the setting gets to "good guys". They're an expansionist colonial empire that tries to force their ideology on everyone they meet and exterminates the people they deem incompatible with it, and somehow, because 40k is just that fucked up, they are one of the more reasonable factions in the galaxy.
Fulgrim in memes: haha sex addict, <homophobic stereotype>, <homophobic dogwhistle>
Fulgrim in lore: the best of the primarchs, came from nothing, became ruler of his planet through people liking him, turned his planet into the jewel of the Imperium, didn't view himself (or his sons) as 'above' the common people and in fact cared deeply for them, was married multiple times and loved each of them (and was hurt badly by the fact that they had finite lifespans), conquered a planet with seven marines, was such a capable smith that Ferrus declared the weapon he forged to be better than his own, humble enough that he said Ferrus's weapon was better, snuck up on Horus with an entire fleet and almost averted the Horus Heresy (FUCK YOU EIDOLON), beat Ferrus Manus in a fight (twice), only fell to Chaos because of his self-hatred after killing Ferrus, beat Roboute Guilliman, used Perturabo to fuel his ascension to daemonhood, strangled an Avatar of Khaine (no, this isn't dumb. Avatars of Khaine are warp entities, and strangulation is an intimate, visceral act of violence), and spent a good chunk of the past ten millennia trying to bring Ferrus back on his side.
i think i should be able to duel people who mischaracterize fulgrim and just base him on the memes
Damn, AI *is* getting smarter!
World's most divorced man becomes first human to be alienated from both biological and digital children.
Nukes aren't Dark Age tech, anyone with a decent enough understanding of physics and uranium (or plutonium) could make one.
One amusing constant inconsistency in Warhammer literature is this.
The nuke.
From the dark age if tech, the blast radius of a nuke varies from authour to authour.
I have seen them damn a world to nuclear winter.
I have seen just one level a hive city.
I have also seen just one gut an Imperial fleet.
No one can figure out how powerful of they are....
Also, for a bit of dark age tech that no one can replicate.... There is a lot of nukes out there, like a lot, I thought dark age tech was meant to be insanely rare?
Femboys, Warhammer 40,000, Battleships, and whatever else crosses my mind
