Games Workshop: Skullfucking servo skulls since 6th edition, about a year ago.
I'm going to make this journal simple, and list off everything Games Workshop is doing wrong right this moment:
1) Astra Militarum. Or, for those who actually speak English, the Imperial Guard. The Space Marines are the Adeptus Astartes, the Sisters of Battle were the Adeptus Sororitas, but you didn't feel the need to stamp those labels on the front of their codices, did you, Games Workshop? They've decided to make their latin-esque names the standard ones so only hardcore fans know what the fuck these guys are on about. To elaborate on this, 'Astra Militarum' translates as 'Stars Military' or in other words, galactic space rangers! I would say space marines, but that generic, overused term is already coined in another area of Games Workshop...
2) Adepta Sororitas. You know my thoughts on the new naming convention, as seen above. I don't mind them having these names, but not only have they made it awkward for people to find this stuff on the website, but they also got it wrong. Both 'adepta' and 'adeptus' translate as 'obtained'. Well done GW, you sound like you have an obsession with these guys. They try to go for latin and then get it wrong. Excuse me while I hammer my head into the table with a pair of flip-flips.
3) Militarum Tempestus. Okay...just hold on a second, I need to put an image in your head. Take the Hulk. Clone him. Throw him at the galaxy. That is essentially what this new codex is - it's a legion of fucking mini-titans! Yep, Imperium again! So let's see...we have...
Space Marines
Blood Angels
Dark Angels
Black Templars
Space Wolves
Grey Knights
Astra Milita- *BLAM* sorry, Imperial Guard.
Adepta Sorori- *BLAM* again? Sisters of Battle.
Militarum Tempestus- *BLAM* who keeps letting these people in here? I meant to say 'mini-titans'.
So, let's recap. The humans, which should be a total of one faction, have a total of nine codices dedicated to them, six of which are essentially space marine chapters and another one which is basically a license to use fun-size apocalypse units in a normal game. Nine codices. The aliens have eight codices for eight separate factions. They have just enough rulebooks to go around. Does anyone really need me to spell out the imbalance here? Added, the way the Tempestus are shaping up, I think the Imperium might be having a 'my dick is bigger' contest with itself. It certainly has enough rulebooks to do so.
4) CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES!
Okay, it's not quite that bad, but they have started selling psychic power card packs. I picked up Warhammer about seven years ago now to play a tabletop strategy game. I didn't start it to play Yu-Gi-Oh. If I had done that I would have kept my cards.
5) Update! We need more updates!
Very soon, as in the next few days/weeks, Games Workshop are releasing Warhammer 40'000 7th editions. They released 6th edition sometime in 2012, and spent the past two years updating the codices to handle 6th edition. Now, they're going to lob that out the window and update again. You know, that didn't waste our time of theirs.
6) Editions.
Notice that above, I said '7th editions'. Why is this? Games Workshop has finally run out of space to cram in junk about the Space Marines in a regular main rulebook, and so now the 7th edition release will in fact be a trilogy of books, so that they can encompass this prolific pile of horse wank in several arduous volumes.

Star Wars models for DAZ
Images of available Star Wars models for your 3D rendering. Note that these are not downloads but, where possible, download links will be on the pages. Some are hi-res characters and clothing for G8 and G3 models, some are simple objects such as vehicles. I'm hoping this will be a fairly exhaustive look at both free and premium models available for Star Wars fans.

Future Plans
Since ToaArcan (https://www.deviantart.com/toaarcan) did one of these recently, and this page might see some activity, I feel like it's suitable to explain what my plans are.
All's End and Violet Era are officially done. While I still feel the pull for certain aspects of them, it's not strong enough to make me want to pick them up again. Particularly I did have a lot of plans for Violet Era, but the franchise just doesn't interest me enough.
AI & I: This plans to continue to whenever it ends, assuming the high likelihood that I stay friends with Jazz117Volkov (https://www.deviantart.com/jazz117volkov) for the duration. No issues there. Once that's ended, I'll be continuing with Therix and Eleanor's story and relat
Barely Knowing
For anyone who still looks at what shows up from my account...
So, after some deliberation, I've decided the haitus of All's End is now a cancellation, the canon of that story being transferred to AI & I. This means most of the characters appearing no longer count for the story, one or two are now alive, and then there are some who haven't been introduced anyway.
What does this mean for All's End? Well, for starters, it's not going to be named that anymore. It also means that the characters in it are a lot more defined, thanks to having someone to bounce off who is frankly far better at showing what a character is like than I am. With t
So This Again
So it's that time of year where I feel depressed again. I currently have zero motivation of any kind for my main stories. I can't help but feel like All's End got screwed up by me trying to do too much at once. It's given me a lot and taught me a lot, but ultimately doesn't feel like it's going to be good to write anymore. I absolutely can't wrap up the many characters and plotlines I have available in that story with any good feeling to it.
Meanwhile, I don't have any want to write Uncivil Union or Violet Era becase seemingly overnight any interest I had in the Sonic franchise has just evaporated. Both stories have been a snail's pace due t
Another One
Yes, we're still doing these. This chapter gets some interesting tension as well.
