My brain, having watched the Titus trailer and started reading Voidscarred: 'Uzgul da Magnificent demands da impossibul.'

Scottish train stations sound like worlds in 40k. 'Aye, brother Ecclefechan, I stood sentinel upon the walls of Garscadden.'

He's back at it again. A quick jaunt down to London Town for the Magnus Archives live show THE HILLTOP! I scrub up not bad, sometimes, and I have the PERFECT companion in Jude Reid's Fulgrim novel. "Vigilo. Audio. Opperior." "Non Vacillabimus"

Krakenblood by @malkydel.bsky.social is so great so far! I love the inclusion of the Helvinter rogue trader dynasty! Ivar is a great protagonist, and a wonderful insight into the head of a Wolf Priest. Only complaint is: Could use more Rune Priests, but I say that about anything 40k.

This is the second time in recent memory where the pictures of the book did no justice to how gorgeous it is in person (the last time was @squintywitch.bsky.social ‘s Fulgrim). This is a stunning treatment of @malkydel.bsky.social’s Krakenblood. #Warhammer #BookSky #BlackLibrary

Book 20 "Void King" by @malkydel.bsky.social Can't believe it's been 4 mths since I finished a book. We do need more Rogue Trader stories. Some great void battles and I was not expecting one revelation (no spoilers). Hopefully the sequal will arrive soon.

If I die, let everyone know: It was the stress of this stupid amazing bug game.

'Til I can break routine during foreplay And trust myself that I won't say your name But I'm still counting down all of the days 'Til you're just another girl on the subway

I’ve wrapped up @malkydel.bsky.social’s cracking Void King, as I get back into reading Black Library books, and what a treat this was. Rogue traders, naval engagements, schemes and betrayals… everything one could hope for.

Another big project done and dusted. A good feeling all around. 🥳

Several times a year, me @alexdoddy.bsky.social and @ed-sanderson.bsky.social get together to read and discuss a Black Library Novel. Today on WarhammerTV, you can check out our take on The Fall of Cadia by @robertrath.bsky.social CADIA STANDS 🫡 warhammertv.com

Delighted to share the announcement stage with @malkydel.bsky.social and @mikevincent-author.bsky.social. Khemet's story was a fascinating one to write, and follows some truly exceptional Necron books in recent years. Looking forward to it coming out! www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl... Ah good to see it finally out in the wild (ha). A true honour to take on the sons of the Rout. Ivar is always a fun to write and I like to think that this tome carries forwards the saga-feel of Price of Morkai into something even stronger and stranger.

Pilgrimage achieved!

Hell yeah, Nottingham

And that is draft 1 done. Good to have a clean break before my weekend away, ironically to Nottingham. Cannot wait to see some of my very best friends!

Heading home and doing a little bit of writing in @thelastbookstorebar. Felt apt as I try to slay this particular dragon.

Every time a train stops at Carlisle I remember how I got stuck here until stupid o clock in the morning because the train ahead of us hit a horse.

Ready for my trip :)

www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl... Hard to believe this is coming to an end! Was an absolute honour to contribute to this series and to join an excellent writer's room, working with great authors and editors and the studio folks.

podbean.com/ew/pb-svnj8-17ee5e4 If you'd like to know a bit more about my journey through the day job... Sat down a while ago with Mike Gray to chat about my career journey to Specialist Biomedical Scientist!

Managed to get across to the hospital and back without being threatened with mangonel or trebuchet. There was a wizened old man selling short swords outside but I had not the coin for his wares.

Can't wait for Lego Andor.

The meanest dog you'll ever meet He ain't the hound dog in the street He bares some teeth and tears some skin But, brother, that's the worst of him The dog you really got to dread Is the one that howls inside your head It's him whose howling drives men mad And a mind to its undoing

Twofold excess courtesy of my wonderful friend and colleague @squintywitch Legitimately excited to crack this open and see what delights she's unleashed with the III Legion. Her work is always spectacularly well thought out and composed.

Big if true...

If a candle isn't meant to be burned at both ends then why does the wick go all the way through? Checkmate, people with healthy balances of commitment!

The cruelty remains the point. The way forward is, as ever, with kindness. With progress. With equality, freedom, and justice for all. And most of all with the defiance of living, surviving, and thriving. No one is alone so long as we all stand in solidarity, support, and love

Me, every time I'm in Edinburgh: Can I have a cigarette? #TheMagnusArchives

✨️ Our Dust Earth mini author reading! ✨️💀 I'm excited for the release of the @aanpress.bsky.social - here's me reading the introduction of my story 'Sublime Ablation' in anticipation of the anthology landing 🖤

Incredible model. Love Wolf Priests and their dual duties. I might just buy this and paint it up in honour of Ivar Krakenblood, who I wrote about in 'Price of Morkai.'

DID YOU EVEN SAY THANK YOU ONCE FOR BEING INVITED TO THE WAR GROUP CHAT?
