Jay_Bird104 Posted Friday at 12:49 AM Share Posted Friday at 12:49 AM Hello everyone! Recently branched out from the lore-tube to the books after Luetine spread to Arbitor to Mr.Bones to... all the other ones? My mostly grown son asked me a question when I was eating a midnight bowl of cereal (as is often my elderly habit) and a bowl of soggy cereal and too much time had passed and I realized we had covered several primarchs, rogue trader, and several miscellaneous chapters/legions and thought perhaps I should read a book. That led to another child asking questions, a salamander model, a Kill team... and now I'm listening to Red Tithe, shopping for valeho medium, ogling new brushes, and hosting a kinda half painted combat Patrol with 3 of my kids, a nephew, and a neighbor. Wondering if kitbashing Carcharodons would rival my mini-me's idea for a Deep Rock Galactic LOV chapter, and digging through forums for lore, tips, and fun. I am a poor painter, reformed childhood ww2 model maker, and finally successful enough that Games Workshop prices make me wince and cry a little but do occasionally show up. I am playing army for real over the weekend, have children with ridiculous schedules, two who have to come home to visit, no time, and enough work for three people... but... I love this universe. I love how it can still laugh at itself while taking itself very seriously. And painting is the most stressful relaxing I can do once or twice a week and it gave me another excuse to assemble my wee nerds once a week. I look forward to posting and digging and eventually showing my work. Thanks for letting me in. I always lurk, but hopefully post enough not to get kicked.

Alby the Slayer Posted Friday at 05:13 AM Share Posted Friday at 05:13 AM Well that escalated quicky . The lore is so great in this hobby, you are right!

Firedrake Cordova Posted Friday at 06:17 AM Share Posted Friday at 06:17 AM Welcome. A Salamanders model, eh? Good taste! (they're my army) If you like the self-deprecating humour of the universe, I can highly recommend the Ciaphas Cain books. The audiobooks are particularly well voice-acted, and are often on sale (reduced price or 2-for-1) on Audible.

BadgersinHills Posted Friday at 02:58 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:58 PM Welcome to the forum! If you haven't read them already, Gaunt's Ghosts and Eisenhorn are great. I also love Spear of the Emperor by Aaron Dembski-Bowden, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387820-introduction-brevis/#findComment-6166927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LameBeard Posted Friday at 05:46 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:46 PM “Painting is the most stressful relaxing” can we get this on B&C merch t-shirts as our new slogan please?

All the driving my grown up life forces me into leaves time for listening. Appreciate it! LameBeard, Thank you. I would definitely get that shirt lol. This hobby definitely feeds my particular tism.

The forum has already provided so many ideas.
