@mage LOVE the cursed founding chapters!!! Such a interesting and unusual take on the space marines! I have been very tempted to try out a Charcharadons force of primaris marines. Their lore and background is really cool too! A raven Guard successor that really stems from the time when Corax took over the legion in the Great Crusade! He didn’t like what some of the old legion were getting up to so he sent the troublemakers off on a “crusade” all on their lonesome. Their  are some incredible paint jobs of them online that show HUGE amounts of character!

 

@horati0nosebl0wer Haha! I am glad its not just me that’s into the synth too! Will have to check out your suggestions!!

 

@robert cool idea about the knitting! I read your project just after I asked about it here! I should have spent more time looking! haha! Never knitted anything. My mother in law knits TONNES of stuff for my kids and she always chooses the most horrific colours!

 

Will get some pics posted tomorrow of my goblins. Got them primed and zenithed so that’s a start! Will post some pics of my Sci fi warband that I’m not sure what to do with, colour scheme wise, so I could get some advice!

 

Should probably listen to this as I paint my goblins:

 

Was never that taken with any of the GW books, they are ok but nothing special with the exception of Iron snakes by Dan Abnett, a quality book of short tales following a squad of marines. An unusual take on the Astartes. Some of the old ones are good to read to just see the difference between how things are portrayed now and how they were back in the oldhammer/ middlehammer days. The Inquisition War was one like that, Shape shifting assassins (into genestealers no less!!!!) and space marines using toilet humour (I think it was in that one anyway!!).

 

Oh man its back to work tomorrow after a month of paternity leave! Think I am going to struggle!!!
