Red Corsair Combat Patrol ready to raid and ruin!

So I just discovered that when someone lists their pronouns as 'She/They', it usually means they're fine with either.

Not, as I had somehow assumed, that they use the former as their object pronoun and the latter as their subject pronoun.

That does make a lot more sense.

Oops, think something went wrong when I assembled my Chaos lord!

One of my favorite details in Alien is that when Ripley goes looking for Jones the cat, not only is he curled up in the pilots chair, but she knows to look there first, implying that that's one of his regular spots to sleep.

Combat Patrol Magazine has finally arrived in Australia, so I figured it was time to start seriously collecting 40K and subscribe.

Presenting Knight-Captain Timur of the Mantis Warriors, and a Tyranid Prime of the Yama Swarm.

The Mantis Warriors are one of my favorite minor chapters - their background as one of the 'renegade' chapters from the Badab War, now seeking redemption, gives them a bit more depth than the usual loyalists. And, as a long-time goblin player, I feel you can't go wrong painting things green!

For the Tyranids, I wanted to create my own little swarm, but after finding a color scheme I liked I discovered I had accidentally recreated Hive Fleet Behemoth's colors. But that's alright, and gives them a little background - it means they're a splinter swarm that survived the defeat of Behemoth, a reminder of one of the greatest threats in recent Imperial history.

Guys, look at my cats. Just look at them.

Oh boy, it's my favorite day of the year, Unfunny People Lie To You Day!

Hey, if you're not watching Deadloch season two, why are you not watching Deadloch season two?

And if it's because you didn't watch Deadloch season one, you should go watch Deadloch season one!

Dreamed that I had giant breast implants put in.

As a cis guy, this would normally force me to spend some time considering what this says about my gender and sexual identity, but given that I woke up to find both my cats asleep on my chest, I got a pretty good idea where my brain got the idea from.

i love babylon 5's dirt cheap budget. the fact that the minbari's holy reverance for certain objects/people is constantly undermined by props that consist of craft paper and glue and a bit of fabric paint is wonderful to me. even their clan banners look like something that was put together by an after school art club for single digit age children. the triluminary is literally just some wires bent around a triangle with some random junk in the middle. branmer's coffin is basically a cardboard box with a light inside. his urn is transported in a shoebox filled with iridescent packing shred like you might use for a christmas present. in moments of transition the warrior caste are still using filofaxes to take notes in. it wouldn't surprise me if their denn'boks are just painted over cardboard poster tubes at this point. most advanced spacefaring species after the vorlons

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from cardboard.

I just realized after several decades of reading and re-reading The Lord of the Rings that Tolkien probably meant for the dodgy 'southerners' that hang around Bree with Bill Ferny to be equivalent to Italians or the like and not, as I've always imagined them, a bunch of good ol' boys.

I don't even have the excuse of being American.

"We are the Uruk-hai: we do not stop the fight for night or day, for fair weather or for storm. We come to kill, by sun or moon. What of the dawn?"

The Troggs awaken, and the world shakes as they march forth!

Treated myself to the Troggherd box for Christmas, and finally got them all assembled and battle-ready. The Troggboss was my favorite to paint - all the little mushrooms and bits on him!

LADY CROCODILE SPACE PIRATE WITH AN ALIEN DOGGO! WHERE DO I PREORDER?!!!

[4thofeleven]

With rumors of Big Folk and stranger things entering the Shire when they shouldn't, Paladin Took assembles a small Hobbit militia to investigate.

They hate us, and they are glad; for our doom seems certain to them. "The king, the king!" they cry. "We will take their king. Death to the Forgoil! Death to the Strawheads! Death to the robbers of the North!"

People who hate Neelix give red flag energy. He's literally just a sweet, caring guy who wants people to be happy, and felt cared for.

Its really giving "he's not conventionally attractive so he's gross" and that speaks more about you as a person than you might notice.

[4thofeleven]

I mean, he also dates a much younger woman (regardless of the difference in how species age, Kes is barely post-adolescent by her species standards and has very little life experience) and is insanely possessive about her.

Neelix develops a lot of likable qualities, but man, the early writing does not give a good first impression.
