It seems at some point someone on a plane was backstabbed with a siege engine.

Do T'au shout "THE GREATER GOOD!" the same way Super-Earth shouts "DEMOCRACY!"?

Awesome work! Love the lighting, as always in your images.
Damn, I thought this meant it has released but apparently it hasn't. Meh. IM has been coming out so painfully slow ...

Hot take: A Praetorian Guard army but painted as WW2 Ethiopian troops (image attached, sorry for quality but that's not an easy thing to find proper images for).

Hot take: The "exo-wombs" Kriegers come from are Axlotl tanks - birthing servitors, basically. Those are heretical but nobody really wants to look into them because everyone wants to buy Krieger minis (which DO look awesome).

Hot take: Space Marines only eat ceramite porridge because otherwise their Oesophagus lets them relive the life of whatever they are eating. This ruins grox steak for most of them. The exceptions are crazies like the Wolves, Flesh Tearers and Mortifactors who made this experience their whole thing.

do you happen to know if there's a scan PDF of it? I'd really like to read this ...

Ancient myths are this curious mix of grimdark and whimsical. You have stuff like this, you have the gods acting like an episode of Coronation Street (like being very ableist to poor Vulcan because he's a dwarf) and you have WoW quests like Perseus' life.

Plus, the Racroow would be as intelligent as a ten year old child and have the morals of a seagull crossed with a cat.

Prometheus' curse is he does not die but is crucified to a rock (Mt. Elbrus IIRC) and disembowled by Gandalf's Eagle daily, while his guts grow back overnight so GE can have its Promethean snack tomorrow too.
Forever.
You could say his eternal torment is the price for our enlightenment.

That (though with a different label) was one of the Greens' core promises for the failed recent coalition government - a "climate payment" of around 200 per person to offset their climate plans. Originally intended as a flat payment, later diluted as a staggered payment and blocked by the Liberals.

Oh, there's a follow-up to this! I might need that ...
Also, the clown servitor was terrifying.

"I became a genocidal dictator so humanity could learn that dictatorship sucks and emigrate to whereever so thousands of years later cannibal catgirls can chase space witches who control men by fucking crazy good back into human space. I call it THE GOLDEN PATH." - God Emperor of Dune, plot synopsis

Yes, that show really is underappreciated. That's what was lost when 90s Berlin became today's hipster colonized wasteland. This creative weirdness and the kind of people in charge who would greenlight something like Lexx. Instead of the drivel like Babylon Berlin.
I mean the OST alone.

They're basically Space Prussia (FII era) with a lot of Rome varnish. Not exactly perfect but a damn lot better than the rest of the Imperium. At least they feel a certain responsibility towards their charges, CAN do administration, probably have dependable courts and the monorails DO run on time.

Kind of. I mean, they're still not *nice* but they try and keep things together usually and have comparatively high standards about things like organization and efficiency. I'd think they execute local nobles a lot, or at least intimidate them with it.

He was a pretty decent lawyer and got a Salient Warlord to incriminate himself (putting himself over the Emperor), then made the commissar present shoot the High Commander.
He also was their designated "talk to mortals" guy because he actually could without sth bad happening.
He sighed a lot.

They should! But it DOES come with certain drawbacks (the Brother Juhani plot was hilarious - Juhani getting ever more extreme with his brain-eating, the Angel of Vengeance (Dumas) always JUST about to execute him and the poor Ultra trying to keep the team together and advance the actual mission).

More like a bucket of really bad trips and depression honestly, given it's the Imperium we're talking about, though I'd say the higher processed a food is, the less they can get from it. And CS usually is highly processed and cut with reclaimed protein (as in refurbished shit) and algae or whatever.

IMHO this is why they really do not like to eat anything but SM ceramite porridge. Grox steak really doesn't taste quite as well if every bite is "life according to factory-farm Grox" for you.

Oh, a couple of my deathwatch players licked their way out of a prison once. But yes.

Nope. Though I do remember it being used in a number of SM novels, but more like "They're all dead." "Brother." "I know." "Then do your duty." *sighs and drags a corpse around the corner, then returns.* "The enemy got in through treachery." "Well met, brother." Like it's shameful to them.

One of the more underrated, weirder, and more disturbing SM bonus organs. Had a player once whose marine fell to chaos because he got himself addicted to eating chaos xeno brains. Like, he hid the xeno brains (chaos t'au - official campaign, don't look at me!) in his nartheticum.

"Oh, thanks for the beast, Mr. Imperial Rogue Trader. We, my very organic son and I, will now be off in out AI-free ship to, uh, do squat stuff with it. AI-free, because we hate AI, like you do. We're very anti-AI in the squat worlds, mostly eaten by 'nids, of course."

Ah, Cawl, a subscriber to the Land school of "It's not innovation, I totally found it in a book!"
Come to think of it he probably knew Land personally.

You can either have a reasonably fairly balanced game or demi-deific posthuman walking tanks utterly dominate the battlefield. You cannot have both.
I mean, I'm really curious just how far Dune Awakening has dumbed down Bene Gesserit because if not holy fuck balance goes right out the window.

Lucky for him now Guilliman is back that's his responsibility, as their gene-father, I guess. Between the regent stuff.

Absent father's favourite kid sparks premature inheritance fight while father is in the workshop. curious son burns down workshop. father is hospitalized. everything goes to shit. ffw 10K years: shit sucks even more. other son wakes up from cryosleep and has massive fit over everything in general.

And aside from the British Isles and Germany, varieties of grain grits (Kascha, Couscous, Bulgur, Grutze, Paella, Mamaliga, Polenta, though the latter two use another new world crop, corn) and bread still are quite important as sides. Potatoes as dominant side are very coastal West Euopean fringe.

It's even more incredible when you consider European cuisine is among those LEAST affected by new world crops. Try to imagine African, SE Asian, Indian, Chinese, or Mideastern food without tomatoes, bell peppers and/or chilli.

1) ... I thought that was what the game's title was meant to say?
2) my old school's motto actually was "audio, video, disco". since the 1800s, when the school was founded. admin steadfastly refused to change it for tradition's sake, no matter just HOW much fun the students had with it.
