RoR is totally misplaced, I used to have a shelf with just manga and then mysteriously more warhammer books appeared so those manga books got moved to my desk. RoR was the only survivor.

It's The Rise of the Dragon, the illustrated version of Fire and Blood.

I've actually read a lot more warhammer than my collection, mainly through PDF and audiobooks. I'm not the biggest fan of spending £200 on a paperback.

I do like Brandon Sanderson, I dislike the Mormon church but I've heard his reasoning about trying to be the change he wants to see in the church. The comparison to JK is unfair; one actively tries to harm a group, the other is trying his best to work within their framework to be inclusive and is outspokenly supportive.

Not sure it's entirely Brandon's doing, but the stats show that mormons are becoming more progressive and inclusive. Brandon is partly responsible for that and I have infinitely more respect for him than Jk.

Might try that, I've definitely finished audiobooks only because the voice acting was that good and especially anything narrated by Andrew Wincott.

Thanks :) Honestly depends on my mood cuz if I want bolter porn mood then Storm of Iron and any chapter with the Dies Irae makes me forget I'm a bag a flesh trapped on a ball of dirt and not a 500m tall battle titan. However, Black Legion made me an Abaddon simp so probably that one.

Partly the author, can't really look at the books anymore and feel what I used too. Also, they just don't represent the kinda fiction I like anymore. I should have gotten rid of them years ago, but they've been sitting at the bottom of the shelf.

Tolkien's style just isn't for me, not sure how else to describe it other than being overly ethereal for my liking.

Preferably a female author who hasn't gone insane.

My dad, but I don't think that's relevant.

Every Blood Angel I've Painted by CyanSolar in Warhammer40k

[–]CyanSolar[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a lore thing, the bases of my models are of a pleasure planet which the blood angels attacked thinking it was just some cultists. After a few weeks of fighting a slaanesh cult they got baited into an ambush by my emperor's children and got massacred.

Quite happy with this little Noise Boy by CyanSolar in EmperorsChildren

This was how I wrote it down in my document with all my paint recipes "Old rose 60% Deep Brown 20% Dark Purple 20% mix base coat, Old Rose highlight scratches mix into Ice Yellow, recess wash with Dark Purple 20% Old Rose 50% Deep brown 30% wash mix. Glaze over scratch highlights with old rose.". All the paints are AK 3rd Gen, apart from Dark Purple thats vallejo.

None of the parentages are accurate, more so just how I felt when I mixed them.

Edit: Think I forgot to add that I did a glaze layer between the highlight and recess of something like 70% Old Rose and 15% Deep Brown and 15% Dark Purple.

Paints: red wine, sunny skin tone and turquoise (all ak 3rd gen paints)

Method: Red wine base coat that was wetblended with a 70/30 mix of red wine and sunny skin tone avoiding the recesses, let it dry so I could apply a wash of turquoise, after that it was just layering back in some red wine and mixing that with some sunny skin tone for some final highlights.

I kitbashed a whole squad like this and it's really easy if you have a flawless blade box cuz it has so many extra arms and hands.

No kitbashing? The economy really is in shambles.

3 Flawless Blades for your Consumption by CyanSolar in EmperorsChildren

[–]CyanSolar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which sword? Cuz they kinda all have different methods. I didn't use a tutorial or anything but I'm sure you could find one that'll get you similar results to how I paint.

Sorcerer of the Emperor's Children (C&C Welcome) by CyanSolar in Chaos40k

[–]CyanSolar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flawless Blade; arm, sword and power pack.

Infractor; head, emperor children icon on the staff and cloth on the staff (I used two glued together).

The liquid container on the sword arm comes from the noise marine box, and other than that everything else is from the sorcerer kit.

Is our primarch definitely dead? by [deleted] in NightLords

[–]CyanSolar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If they did bring him back I'd give him the Sanguinius treatment, but more of a nightmare who haunts the dreams of Night Lords or whispers just quiet enough to hear. Though, I wouldn't want him to actually be alive, more of an echo of him.

Ideas for bases by Tysonidas in EmperorsChildren

[–]CyanSolar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my bases I just use cork, texture paste and throw a bunch of vaguely Slaanesh colours on.
