So brilliant he glows

we dont clown on nostramans enough for how dork ass of a name night haunter is. i guess it’s fine if it’s like. a translation? of nostraman? but like… it’s such a mouthful. night haunter is the bad guy from a kids tv show about dreams and nightmares.

doing a fun little thing where since they’re vaguely? romanian inspired (or at least are by the fandom) i stuck night haunter into google translate (forgive me, i don’t have a romanian to hand) and got bântuitor de noapte. you could do something with that! you could even go through russian or just like, a hodgepodge of langauges. Nyxjaeger? nochstalker?? literally anything else.

i just think the name sucks Real Bad

- the Emperor of mankind directly to Konrad.

Summary: Cedric is grounded from exploring the human city he’s in, so he is content to look out a window and people watch. He’s approached by a Salamander Scout Captain and they chat.

He feels the walls of his coffin taunting him with every breath he takes. He is vaguely aware of the numerous pieces embedded within what's left of his body. Somedays he can forget about it, others he can feel every tug and pull.

Nothing is the same. He never thought he would want to cry and beg to feel the ground beneath his feet, the cool breeze on his face. Even to open eyelids to look up at the sky. Things he always took for granted and really who wouldn't? Nobody expects to become a mess of organs forced to endure, to fight on.

Only now he doesn't even have the familiarity of the battlefield to console him. The one constant he has, taken away. Just like that. Forced once more to adapt to a second major change that he would never be fully prepared for. Metal claws clench and unclench as he continues on. He has some little brothers here, yet most of them revere him to the point that he actually avoids them as much as possible.

There's one being he tolerates and even welcomes though. This one young lady who cycles past the field he typically goes to to enjoy the quiet mornings and evenings. Mostly she waves as she goes but there are days when she's cycling back home, she would stop to look at him. One day he spotted her drawing him, not that she's aware of the numerous cameras that give him a 360 view.

The sun is starting it's descend towards the horizon, she should be here soon enough. Maybe he should try speaking to her just this once.

“We all agree this is Cody’s fault?” Fox asks, hands on his hips as he looks around.

Wolffe snorts. “Absolutely. I will not get into shit with General Plo.”

“Does this face look like it could do wrong?” Bly says, pointing at himself. “No. Cody’s on the other hand…”

“It’s the deep waters you gotta look out for,” Wolffe nods sagely.

“I will kill you all and make it look like an accident.”

“That’s the spirit,” Fox grins, slapping Cody’s shoulder in encouragement. “Hold that expression until the sergeant arrives for processing.”

this is by far my favorite safety/warning sign btw. they really went off with this one

No cuz I fucking love this sign. It’s not an actual barrier so it’s not like some sort of challenge it simply says “fuck around and you will find out”

Ohohoho I LOVE “fuck around and find out” signs, especially the really dramatic and ominous (but true) ones

(Context for the last one: it’s a WWII era sign posted around the soldiers’ washroom mirror, warning them to never discuss military plans in places where civilians could hear them and report back to the enemy, e.g. in restaurants and pubs in the country. “Loose lips sink ships”.)

I also love these two, which I would place in the category of “You already fucked around, now you’re about to find out.”

Aerated water is fucking scary. It's water that has a fuckton of gas in it, which reduces the buoyancy to the point where you will immediately start to sink if you fall in.

ive been collecting these recently and wanted to add some of my favorites

Official ominous signs

Could you imagine if FIVES was still at his back - I mean Hemlock would already be so much Zillo Beast kibble…

“ You know all to well that the line between pleasure and pain… is a thin one.”

Sir!!! 🥵🔥

Don’t do energy drinks at 3 pm, lest you end up like me and can’t sleep. Thanks @kit-williams for the writer’s inspiration thing. 😊

Summary: One of your Iron Hands minis inexplicably disappears. Conversely, there is a very big Iron Hand man at your door. Uh oh

Word Count: 1216

Content Warnings: Attempted violence, a guilty pleasure trope of mine, uhhh that’s probably all?

A half-smile crossed your face as you put down the last mini and wrung the Mephiston Red off of your paintbrush. Finished. You admired your handiwork, turning him around in your hands a little bit. He was the only one of his brothers without a helmet, but half of his face was covered by metal implements anyways. Painting an Iron Hands space marine (Iron Hand?) was no small order. The brush you’d bought specifically to paint them was still too big, so you’d cut off some of the bristles. And it still frayed, blotching paint where it wasn’t supposed to go. But you’d covered it up well enough that you couldn’t notice most of it. Even though he was one of five of your first minis, he was perfect.

I wonder if/when Games Workshop will finally give an end to WH40K, will they let the Imperium or humanity as a whole just die to finally end their suffering & misery? That seems like a fitting end with all the grimdarkness.

The Emperor takes a last shuddering breath, and his body slumps out of the golden throne and down to the steps below. He can see it happen. His soul stepped out of his body, looking at a humanity he no longer recognises. His least favourite son is a ruling tyrant. Mankind is lost in its revelries of religious fervour. Everything he feared has come true.

He closes his eyes and waits for darkness to come. For chaos to claim his failures. For the Daemons to descend and render reality into oblivion. Nothing matters anymore.

Nothing happens. The Astronomicon is fine. His Throneroom is fine. Terra is fine. How can this be?

He can see his most beloved servants, clad in resplendent gold, haul his body back upon the throne. He tries to call out to them, but he has no voice.

“We really need a seatbelt on this thing; this is getting ridiculous”, is the last thing he hears before losing consciousness.

Did you really expect GW to let this cash cow die? They will beat this dead horse until it drinks again. Just look at old world.

Boosting so you might get some better responses. Sorry for shitposting 😅

Local Chaos Marine brings home stray cat for human.

City officials once again reminds residents with Space Marines and/or Chaos Marines to inform them on proper procedure on how to get a pet. While the cat now has a home, there are numerous other reports of other Chaos or Space Marines taking strays, community and free-roaming cats and dogs off the streets.

Please check any animal your Space or Chaos Marine brings back for a microchip.
