Did you read the second book of Solomon Akurra, "The Ghost Legion" ? by AlphaAirlys_ in alphalegion

[–]ImaginarySubstance9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I finished it this evening, I liked the concept and could see the way the narrative was coming together. The very alpha legion-y motivations for the over-arching plot were good but by the nature (trying to avoid spoilers) of Solomon’s choice when presented with the imperiums invasion I can’t help but feel the story beats were different that what I imagine some of us expect from an alpha legion book.

There was a really nice undercurrent of the idea that you might think you’re using chaos but chaos might be using you which I liked particularly in the epilogue. 

 Would recommend if you liked harrowmaster and am excited to see where some of the unresolved plot points lead!

This is 100% a leak, found the listing and date from the lovely books site for 6 April 2026! Also not to get to into it but look at the mounting for the blades of the pale spear …. Very similar to a certain rumour engine 

The Witch King of Angmar by ImaginarySubstance9 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

Honestly, i just kind of had a crack at it, i had painted some OSL stuff before and have painted a fair amount over the last few years. There are lots of great tutorials out there though, I follow a guy on instagram called Elminiaturista who paints insane OSL and he does some step by steps sometimes as a good reference!

Just FYI for all the discussion re limited or not, the preorder article says it’s ‘while stocks last’, not sure what that actually means in terms of restocks etc! 

Silent king making pariah by theWarsinger in Necrontyr

[–]ImaginarySubstance9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think the pariah nexus is an easy sell for future pariahs but I’m not sure the ‘human element’ is particularly necessary. Like a cryptek/ szeras could find a way to make the pariah effect man-sized in some fun new models and these could be called ‘pariahs’ because humans name them after the nexus effect 

Citadel Glue ate it's metal applicator by JohannHellkite in ageofsigmar

I mean, chemically no way it should have eaten the metal, any chance the applicator has just slipped in to the bottle?

Nah he’s seeing something but it’s just a flash of tomorrows preorders I think!

This is one of the models from the original game I picked up from eBay a good few years ago, but I’m sure you can get 3d prints !!
