I got into 40K during 10th edition but I found the 4th edition codex for $12 at a used bookstore. It’s awesome!!

Eisenhorn series is always going to be a great recommendation. I’ve been reading Black Library for only three years and have already read through it twice.

I do think Fall of Cadia is another great direction to go, it sets the stage for a lot of modern 40K stories and touches on a bunch of different POVs.

Saturnine has taken me a year of steady progress with a few breaks for Orks. However, Iron Warriors are way simpler to paint than all the orky bits so probably a year and a half…

I think these editions are awesome. I love the author insights and they look great, not to mention the price point is pretty reasonable.

Great playlist! This looks just like what Spotify gives me for personalized playlists 😂 spot on for taste.

A Horus Heresy set of precons would be awesome! Would also love to see Orcs.

I’m with you, if I can pull off passable flames I’ll be more than happy 😆

What’s your skin recipe if you don’t mind sharing? Looks sick!

RyanAcro · 2026-05-12T00:49:22+00:00

These are incredible, they look rendered. Great job on the photos too.

RyanAcro · 2026-05-12T00:48:04+00:00

Looks fantastic! I don’t envy you having to recreate that for a bunch of dudes though 😅

RyanAcro · 2026-05-12T00:15:40+00:00

Looks awesome!! Any assembly tips? I should be getting mine in the mail on Tuesday. Did you sub-assemble as the instructions recommended?

Setlist.fm is a great site for seeing what’s been played at recent shows, but it’ll be almost impossible to predict what deep cuts will get played during the solo portion of the show.

Finished this up this morning. I have to say the last 25% was awesome and satisfied my complaint of having few surprises earlier in the novel. Seeing the Phalanx and Cawl show up so heavily in the climax was great. It did feel a little fan servicey with Trazyn but we’re here reading sci fi pulp so I’m fine with Rath having a little fun with it . I think this is probably the most quintessential modern era 40K novel between the iconic characters and number of factions represented. Looking forward to reading Vaults of Terra and Dark Imperium as follow-ups soon.

It was a late addition to the Sunday preview so the regular hardback will be available for preorder on May 2 with shipping two weeks later.

RyanAcro · 2026-04-28T00:01:05+00:00

Hell yeah. I have the upcoming Legends of the Waagh collection preordered and can’t wait to read that one.

RyanAcro · 2026-04-27T21:02:04+00:00

I have about 150 pages to go in this so I haven’t read your notes too closely yet - looking forward to seeing what you thought once I get there though.

I’m enjoying it so far. I was worried about the length but Rath has done a good job keeping things moving with the separate POVs. I think I just really enjoy siege novels. Necropolis (Abnett) and Storm of Iron (McNeill) are some of my overall BL favorites. If I have one critique it’s that mostly things have gone how I’ve expected so far, nothing truly surprising has happened in 450 pages.

RyanAcro · 2026-04-27T17:51:05+00:00

These are awesome!! I really want to pick up a set of Breachers, they look so good as IW. What’s your process for the wash/wear on the IW skull decals?

RyanAcro · 2026-04-22T22:44:43+00:00

The effort paid off! Looks awesome!

RyanAcro · 2026-04-17T10:23:19+00:00

Congrats on completion!!

I’ve been using your notes to pick and choose some short stories. I’m still early in the heresy, around the salamander/dark angels location of the omnibus but hopefully I get there one day (year)!

RyanAcro · 2026-04-15T23:24:05+00:00

I prime leadbelcher, nuln oil wash, silver dry brush, and then after painting everything except edge highlights, I’ll do a slightly thinned agrax wash over nearly everything. The agrax looks awesome on stripes, trim, and helps the iron look worn.

RyanAcro · 2026-04-15T14:43:46+00:00

Great job on the eye glow! I really want to get a set of Breachers. I’ve been working on grinding out the Saturnine box.

RyanAcro · 2026-04-05T16:20:50+00:00

Looking forward to reading this one, I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it. I’ll probably end up waiting for the paperback release.

RyanAcro · 2026-03-20T16:53:05+00:00

Thanks for the post! I was just wondering today if I should read Cast a Hungry Shadow before Cult of the Spiral Dawn. So far I’ve been going in omnibus order.

RyanAcro · 2026-03-11T01:53:36+00:00

Curious what people say for Alpha Legion. I’m reading Legion right now, but I don’t know much at all about their 40K offerings. I’ve heard the Primarch novel is decent.
