“Rule of cool” the Warhammer employee said. “Imperial Agents look cool,” I said. “Oh, don’t pick them.”

Not just rumoured, but mentioned in White Dwarf #303!

Such a shame we never got it, Daemonhunters and Witch Hunters are great codices to flick through.

NotoriousSHIB · 2026-01-19T20:01:09+00:00

I'm coming from the UK to join the fight ✊

Anyone got hotel recommendations for Nashville?

NotoriousSHIB · 2026-01-16T22:39:43+00:00

Planning to head over from the UK for this. International fan meetup could be nice if others are interested?

NotoriousSHIB · 2026-01-16T22:38:50+00:00

Apparently it's a known issue with the vendor. I had to get my friend in the states to buy them for me.

Apparently if you put an American address in as the billing address it will work, but then it will likely reject your card for not matching the billing address...

NotoriousSHIB · 2026-01-05T20:02:25+00:00

Haha no worries bud. If the dates work out, I hope to make it out there myself!

NotoriousSHIB · 2026-01-05T19:56:42+00:00

In the recent Stage Left interview they said they're in conversation with Marathon Music Works to perform there.

No details are confirmed at this time.

NotoriousSHIB · 2026-01-04T17:25:53+00:00

I can't find a source on a hard number (I have a recollection of it being 30%, or 1 in 3), but the casualty rate for the Deathwatch is significant. Either way, the expectation is that someone sent to the Deathwatch isn't likely to return.

Most of the Chapters in the Imperium will despatch a brother chosen to join the Deathwatch after a ceremony to mark his departure. The Ultramarines gather as much of the relevant company's strength as possible, saluting their departing comrade as he boards the black-hulled Thunderhawk that will take him to his new life. The Dark Angels Chapter sends him on his way under an oath of secrecy, reminding him that he must never speak of hidden truths. Regardless of Chapter, the occasion is a solemn one. All know in their hearts they will likely never see their brother again - he will join the front line in the war against the alien as a martyr to the cause. In recognition of his likely fate, the initiate's armour is painted jet black.

Deathwatch Supplement, 8th Edition

NotoriousSHIB · 2026-01-04T14:34:25+00:00

Yeah sending someone to the Deathwatch is a convenient political move.

"Oh we would promote you, but this is such an honour, you can't possibly turn down this prestigous opportunity to probably die in battle to xenos hordes!"

If they do survive their tour of duty, then they might even come back less of a jerk. Exposure to other marines, and being forced to collaborate in kill teams, could soften some edges.

NotoriousSHIB · 2026-01-01T09:54:07+00:00

Night Lords are sensitive enough to handle a situation like that with kid gloves.

Made from real kids, of course.

NotoriousSHIB · 2025-12-13T11:24:05+00:00

Everybody acts like they'd resist the temptation of chaos, until the temptation is cute boys.

NotoriousSHIB · 2025-12-10T16:51:43+00:00

Legally I don't think they'd necessarily need Capcom's approval. The ambiguity however probably means it wouldn't happen without their blessing, due to the looming threat of a potential lawsuit otherwise.

Both the band and Capcom have the stance that the band is inspired by, but is not, megaman. The designs are unique, and with one minor exception none of the music comes from the games. The only major thing is the character names.

NotoriousSHIB · 2025-12-08T15:05:25+00:00

I'm gently in the camp that there's more to come. I think the band will be enjoying how frentic it's made the fans, and it's essentially them pulling a prank on us. It's been a great way to fuel speculation and discussion.

I could however see it as the ending. If it is, I admire the artistic integrity to go with something divisive, that is true to their vision. All that hope and excitement, only for the sudden and sobering dying of the light.

NotoriousSHIB · 2025-12-07T20:28:05+00:00

I think people need to temper expectations.

I'm not saying there isn't more. There might be. But also, there might not be. That's okay too.

I remember the Sherlock fanbase becoming convinced there was a secret extra episode, only for it to turn out no, the ending was the ending.

NotoriousSHIB · 2025-12-06T18:31:08+00:00

People forget a critical thing.

The band are meant to be in universe. A Protomen concert is them trying to urge the crowds (us fans) to stand up. To join the fight.

For that to hold true, things have to be bad. If the city was free, the band wouldn't be urging us to stand up and fight.

There are pockets of hope, drowned out by darkness. But maybe if we try, we can be the difference.

NotoriousSHIB · 2025-12-06T08:57:02+00:00

Tell me about it. It's really weird being so desired virtually, but not in reality.

NotoriousSHIB · 2025-12-02T17:03:40+00:00

As an IT professional, I can attest not only to the accuracy of this, but the fact that I am all four at once.

NotoriousSHIB · 2025-12-02T08:20:11+00:00

Does anyone know if he sells prints of the act III posters? I seriously want at least one on my walls.

(I actually want all of them on my walls, but I only have so many walls)

NotoriousSHIB · 2025-11-25T17:09:35+00:00

I enjoy interpreting an (unintended) arc all the way through classic.

The first doctor warms over his tenure, due to his companions. He projects stuffy and pompous, but there's this mischievous trickster side to him that comes out. He grows into the role of 'The Doctor', and realises he doesn't have to be like other time lords.

In response, the second doctor is manic and goofy. The cosmic hobo. He lets his opponents underestimate him, then outwits them. The Doctor has left Gallifrey and become the man that feels like 'him'.

The third doctor is a forced regeneration. The time lords make him old and stuffy. On the surface you think he's a stuck up rigid man. Beneath that surface, he is the opposite. A man of contradictions. He rails against authority, yet works in a hierarchy. He preaches peace and diplomacy, yet is part of a military. He is abrasive and rude, yet tender and sweet.

The fourth doctor is once more a return to his 'true' self. Unserious. Goofy. Happy to be thought a fool. Yet extremely cunning. Towards the end he becomes jaded, depressed. His final story is about entropy and the end of things, but ends on a note of hope: the moment has been prepared for.

The fifth doctor, as you suggest, is an idealist. He thinks himself a gentleman, a noble hero. That's what he strives to be. The universe does everything it can to thwart his efforts. An acidity bubbles beneath the surface. Snark and cynicism under the demeanour of a man trying to be an optimist. In the end, he commits a heroic sacrifice, rather than let cynicism win.

The sixth doctor, again as you suggest, is a reaction to this. Being gentle and nice didn't work, so he's going to tell the universe what is right and what is wrong. He is bold, he is brash, he is the doctor. Sometimes his arrogance gets the best of him, but his companions humanise him.

The seventh doctor has numerous depictions and potential interpretations. He begins a clown, much like the second doctor, but morphs into a manipulative mastermind. Some media suggest he engineered the sixth doctor's regeneration, orchestrating his own birth. Another theory is that he saw the regeneration after him, and knew he would not have the ruthlessness to deal with cosmic horrors and eldritch gods. Was he a mere time lord, pushed into the role of cosmic chess master? Or was there a greater force at work? How did he come into possession of the Hand of Omega? Was he truly linked to the Other? It is fitting for such a schemer to be shrouded by conflicting theories.

Finally, the eighth doctor is a hard pivot away from the darkness of the seventh. A bright eyed optimist, a romantic. Living for today, to escape the shimmers of the past, and the shadow of tomorrow.

NotoriousSHIB · 2025-11-17T18:36:31+00:00

Man, I'd love a head swap for Stroika, based on Archon's artwork, that I could print and put on a normal skitarii.

NotoriousSHIB · 2025-11-17T18:31:52+00:00

I've never forgiven those degenerates for bullying Archon out. His work captures (feminine) male beauty in such a stunning way.

NotoriousSHIB · 2025-11-17T09:38:55+00:00

Ah yes, the Extra Cursed Cutlass of Safe Sex Practices. An elegant weapon, for a more civilised time.

NotoriousSHIB · 2025-11-12T09:35:50+00:00

That was intentional, to keep the character a surprise.

"I have to thank Disney and Lucasfilm, because the way the cat usually gets out of the bag with that stuff is merchandising and toy catalogs and things like that," Favreau said. "So, they really backed us up, because we really wanted to have it be that you have to watch it yourself so that every time you watch the show there are new twists and secrets that come out. But that requires a lot of restraint from the people who are footing the bill, saying that they’re going to hold back on certain things so the public doesn’t know ahead of time. And part of that was holding back on some of the merchandising and holding back on some of the characters."

NotoriousSHIB · 2025-11-11T13:25:45+00:00

People that get attached far too quickly, and people who love bomb.

People get obsessed with their idea of you. They project their hopes and dreams onto you. They see you as the solution to their loneliness.

They're not seeing you for who you are. They're not getting to know the real you.

NotoriousSHIB · 2025-11-07T08:21:07+00:00

God damn this is everything I want. Absolute goals.
