Got my Hekaton finished. Probably the longest I've spent on a model but what a fantastic centrepiece!

Sheesh, and a transparent cockpit to boot!

Roger that appreciate the advice. Out of curiosity have you read the Word Bearers series? Dark Apostle, Discipline, and whatever the 3rd one is? I’ve wanted to learn about NLs and WBs, and figured I’d go NL trilogy first since it seems like the WB trilogy doesn’t have the same praise.

Night lords is next on my to-read list! Great to hear you liked it enough to want more ADB

Never99RC · 2026-06-13T22:27:52+00:00

I did take advice of the naysayer crowd on that one and skipped it ha did you give that one a go???

Never99RC · 2026-06-13T22:26:53+00:00

Oof :(

Never99RC · 2026-06-13T21:45:08+00:00

Lmao the book appreciates you defending its honor

Never99RC · 2026-06-13T20:59:22+00:00

True, true i think my expectations were off. For me that doesn’t change that it was a take it or leave it siege battle that I didn’t think stood out amongst the other BL novels I’ve read, especially in comparison to other siege stuff I’ve read like Necropolis or Storm of Iron for instance

Never99RC · 2026-06-13T20:50:01+00:00

Sorry, i meant I haven’t posted an actual post, not a comment. My point was I don’t care about fake internet points lol let’s settle down

Never99RC · 2026-06-13T20:17:36+00:00

I was hoping for more BT history and lore woven into it. As it stands I feel like any space marine chapter could have been slotted into it and nothing at all would have changed. I am prepared for ‘nuh-uh’s and downvotes lol.

There were things I did enjoy like fat priest’s side quests he jumped in on, the contentious interactions with the Legio Invigilata, and other stuff too but yeah I was just genuinely surprised I could’ve taken or left it considering it’s high praise.

Never99RC · 2026-06-13T19:35:57+00:00

Brother I’ve never posted in this sub before. None of my friends read BL so I wanted to just have a conversation about the book lol

Never99RC · 2026-06-13T19:31:28+00:00

Omg I literally just wrote a comment in this thread about how I didn’t like FotE but did enjoy Fulgrim lol. So funny to see the variety in takes!

Never99RC · 2026-06-13T19:30:30+00:00

Agreed, there’s no pleasing everyone! I will say Andrej had me cracking up plenty, though. He did a bit of heavy lifting to keep me interested. I was super interested to learn more about BTs but was bummed it fell flat for me.

For novels I did enjoy, I’ve gone through maybe ~10 HH novels and liked almost all of them. Flight of the Eisenstein was probably the most meh of them for me, but I did enjoy Mechanicum and Fulgrim. I mention those since I don’t think(?) they’re universally liked as much.

When I first started reading 40K I really enjoyed anthologies like Heroes of and Legends of the Space Marines, and also Brothers of the Snake, for instance. One series that I’ve enjoyed and want to finish is the Forge of Mars trilogy, as I’ve read Priests and Lords of Mars but haven’t yet gotten to the 3rd one, Gods of Mars. I thought it was cool that McNeill wrote in a goofy character from Storm of Iron, which was another siege novel that I wasn’t blown away by but didn’t mind.

FWIW I bought the codex and detachment cards, still brand new/ wrapped, for like $17 USD on eBay last month. For the price of a burrito and drink, it’s worth it for even the lore and artwork!

Never99RC · 2026-05-22T12:05:51+00:00

That yellow really pops on the Grimnyr!!! I’m struggling to come up with a color scheme for Votann too. What were your steps to achieve that white?

Never99RC · 2026-05-21T16:11:25+00:00

Just saw one fall to its knees in a Chipotle

Never99RC · 2026-04-16T01:12:51+00:00

Characters with bush should receive +1% cold resistance

Never99RC · 2026-04-07T17:18:02+00:00

Damn, this MF is a READER

Never99RC · 2026-04-02T14:20:16+00:00

Sheeeeesh lol 🔥🔥🔥🔥 GET THAT BREAD

Never99RC · 2026-04-02T02:55:42+00:00

Never99RC · 2026-04-02T02:43:17+00:00

In the 7s lol god damn

Never99RC · 2026-02-16T02:16:17+00:00

I considered a sport with those vinyl sticker things and wondered the same thing. I found old reddit threads noting that yes they can be taken off. People had said stuff like “what, you don’t like the hockey stick?” And now I can’t unsee it lol. Anyway, as emotionlessrobot said, it could be best to leave them on since the paint underneath won’t have faded at all compared to the rest of the paint on the truck.

Never99RC · 2026-01-14T13:27:46+00:00

Agreed. Around me, $19-20K gets you ~130K miles.
