NEIGH! My annual painting session has occurred and I have done a little more on the classic Warhammer green knight! Beautiful mini but complicated so taking it slowly 🖤

Hellooo! Just to say - I'm really proud of the book that Aliya and I wrote together. For your consideration: City of All Seasons, if you enjoyed it!

So sorry to hear the news about Ian Watson. His vivid work was my first introduction to Warhammer & will always be special. One xmas we made a celebratory drink called 'Ian Watson's Space Marintini' @danacea.bsky.social told him & he was quite tickled. We'll raise a glass in his honour this year 🖤

In the glam darkness of the 40K sequin mines there is only wa(utho)r! 💀 Tbt a special evening at Warhammer World 🖤

Actor Rebecca Hanssen (The Witcher, Baldur’s Gate III) and author Matthew Ward (Legacy Trilogy, The Soulfire Saga) team them up to create our next YouTube dark fantasy short story reading.

"Through the dirt and smoke and blood of this novel’s military campaign, Kassabian has brought something fresh and emotionally bright into a genre of warriors and wonders, and something which feels vividly current." - @writervh.bsky.social

An interview! With me! Including a bit about the time @daisyabbott.bsky.social and I ran off to join the circus... discoverkelpies.co.uk/2026/03/the-...

Northern Finland was absolutely magical - but my favourite part was being befriended by the wonderful kuukkeli (Siberian jay) birds during daily walks through the pine forests! 🖤❄️🌲

Stomping around in the snow in Finland for a few days! 🖤❄️

Fancy a little something to listen to? Can I suggest a tale of revenge served (very) cold, written by me and read by the wonderful Rebecca Hanssen? (Courtesy of @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social) #Fantasy #AmwritingFantasy www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JCF...

Nightkeeper is finally out! Early reviews suggest it might make you cry and also get you creeped out about being stuck in a rock fissure underwater, so if that sounds like your jam then you can ACTUALLY BUY IT IN BOOKSHOPS!!! Happy BookDay to me! www.waterstones.com/book/the-nig...

Had a fabulous time at the Sisters & Allies of Battle at Warhammer World at the weekend! Organised by the wonderful @eldarexarch it was lovely to chat all things hobby with such fab folk 📚🖌🖤

The Catachan I painted + the Catachan novel I wrote! 🖤😎🌴 Thank you so much *everyone* who has picked up Deathworlder (you sold out the first print run 😱) & shared in the grimdark good times! 💀🖤

I have a book out today! Aestred Thurga: Pyre of Faith is loosed upon the world! Gorgeous, Limited Edition spredge hardcover, and some of my absolute most favouritest world-building ever. Plus Thurga herself, her Tapestry and a proper, scenery-chewing Nasty. www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/a...

This week's Scribes and Scriveners is a round table re the Black Library Open Submission process. Denny, Robbie and Jonathan were fantastic and it's well worth a watch! Thankyou! @denny-flowers.bsky.social @jonathandbeer.bsky.social and Robbie MacNiven #warhammercommunity #WarhammerTV

Good morrow fellow bulwark admirers! May your weekend be fortified with rest & relaxation ✨️🧱

There’s a Black Library bumper crop on Warhammer TV today, as my guest spot on Battle Report goes live along with a Scribes & Scriveners episode with the unmatchable @squintywitch.bsky.social! See me play 40K like it was intended—by making weird little sound effects every time my minis do stuff.

Just picked up my first Warhammer read of the year - @andyclarkauthor.bsky.social's Black Library book Demolisher! It's a sequel to Steel Tread which I absolutely loved so am excited to crack in!

It's PLR statement day! In the UK authors receive payment every time you borrow one of their books from a library 🖤 This includes Warhammer books which you can certainly find if your local library is in Nottingham! 📚💀

I pulled my personal Trazyn and Orikan models out of the display case at Warhammer World to let them tussle with @princeofbieltan.bsky.social’s beautiful Salamanders army on Battle Report! Genuinely one of the most fun gaming experiences I’ve ever had. Thanks so much to the entire WarhammerTV team.

Please enjoy this nuthatch hatching a whole nut 🖤

Meet Lobelia, a magnificent Eurasian Griffon Vulture at World of Wings in Cumbernauld! She's currently in training & doing very well at not eating people's welly boots (mostly). It was a pleasure to meet her - she was very boisterous & playful. Vultures are always fabulous & she is especially so 🖤

My New Year read was @adamroberts.bsky.social very clever & very scary Lake of Darkness which gave me the mega creeps by chapter 2 but which I couldn't stop reading. It's beautiful & horrible and I recommend/don't recommend reading it in a remote forest depending or not whether you value sleep...

A brisk and bright start to the New Year aboard a Victorian steamship on Loch Katrine (whisky compulsory, it was gorgeous but very cold! ❄️) ...Then home for some writing! 🖤✍️

This was my Warhammer festive read - an absolute banger from Dan 🖤 Lovely character work & super evocative. It kept me guessing until the end and chomping through a *lot* of Christmas chocolate as the tension ramped up 😂 🍫

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words. But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

i made an illustration for it last year... go read it, great writing
