#Nova Open

[titanomancy]

Aside from some cheekiness about the long promised close combat weapon upgrades, there was no real new information shared during the Horus Heresy segment of the preview seminar. It's nice to know that there's at least something new planned every month - there's certainly enough in the Forge World back catalog to migrate to plastic, especially when you diffuse it across three separate ranges of figures.

I'm personally holding out for the alternate loadout Deredeo Dreadnought with Boreas Air Defence Missiles and Volkite Falconet or Aracnhus Heavy Lascannon. Perhaps even a glimmer of hope for my long sought Atomantic Pavaise.

But, realistically, I know that it just means we'll get 28mm versions of the already extant Legions Imperialis tanks.

NOVA Open 2023: Meet Élisse Duchaard for the Old World

NOVA Open 2023: Meet Élisse Duchaard for the Old World #warhammercommunity #novaopen #novaopen2023

At NOVA Open 2023, Games Workshop revealed a new figure for the highly anticipated Old World project. Élisse Duchaard is a Prophetess of the Lady of the Lake and is a power Wizard who rides a muscular unicorn. The figure takes inspiration from the classic Morgana the Fay Enchantress figures. It’ll be released in resin.

FULGRIUM!

But.... He is Horus Heresy, not 40k....

Does this mean no Emperor's Children codex?

Girl Talk: Stop Comparing Yourself to Unrealistic Beauty Standards.

We just want all of our besties to see this video and take into account that 90% of the beauty standards and images you see that is pushed by the media isn’t real.

And this is with no shade: Jodie Joe, the face of fashion nova, has had surgery and it’s still photoshopped, altered and edited in realtime to make her look a certain way.

Stop comparing.

Stop consuming.

Stop trying to fit the mold when you were designed to break it.

Choose health and fitness over aesthetics. Prioritize your well-being, focusing on nourishing your body, staying active, and reprogram your mind to have a positive mindset.

Why?

Because true beauty radiates from within, and when you feel strong and healthy, it reflects in your confidence and energy.

Set realistic goals, celebrate your progress, and surround yourself with supportive communities that uplift and motivate you.

💌 A love letter to my BFS Ladies:

Here at BFS, while we adore sharing moodboards and celebrating outer beauty and fashion, we want to remind you that your journey in femininity and healed womanhood is about so much more. The true goal is healing, inner confidence and growth. Becoming the woman you aspire to be should transcend your outward appearance.

This journey is a mindset and a lifestyle that not only embodies the essence of a soft life but also breaks generational curses and defies stereotypes often placed upon Black women. It’s about nurturing yourself and starting a journey of self-discovery.

Your God-given superpower as a woman lies in this transformative work. Don’t just look the part—embrace the full, life-changing experience. Don’t cheat yourself from the profound growth and healing and real purpose that awaits you.

With love and inspiration,

The BFS Team 💋

A spoiler-free critical analysis of ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’:

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are, in fact, Marvel Jesus.

Also, in this house we bow down to Emma Corrin. Step on me.

{open to anyone}

“Where are you? Are you safe?” Nova hadn’t hesitated to answer the phone when she had seen their name pop up, but she quickly realised the call wasn’t going to be the nice chat that she had expected. Sensing something was the matter, she quickly closed her book and pushed it aside before she stood, already looking for her keys. “Do you need me to come get you?”

Hhhh braining thoughts

The Nova Open preview seminar was laughably bad if you're not a fan of Chaos Dwarfs or Stormcast Eternals, but there were a couple of morsels to be gleaned from the roadmap segments.

For instance, a big focus on Death Korps of Krieg in the 2025 Astra Militarum launch. Whether that means alternate heavy weapons teams, Death Riders or some other transplant from the Forge World range is anyone's guess, but if it's early in the new year then we don't have that long to wait and see.

I was surprised to hear that Apect Warriors are going to be headlining Codex: Aeldari. Everything I've heard so far has pointed towards Kill Team as the vehicle for getting out the remaining temples, and with two of the outstanding kits being types of jump infantry that seemed to be consistent with the direction the game is taking with Hivestorm.

If Imperial Knights were mentioned at all, I missed it - and I don't have any rumors I trust enough to share, here, that might even start to suggest what it would look like by the time next spring rolls around.

NOVA Open 2023: It's new Warcry with a new box look

NOVA Open 2023: It's new Warcry with a new box look #novaopen #novaopen2023 #warhammercommunity #warcry

During its NOVA Open 2023 presentation Games Workshop revealed a new Warcry release. Warcry: Hunter and Hunted is an interesting box in that it’s a smaller box set than has usually been released. It still features two warbands but only one scenery piece. In it is the Gorger Mawpack taking on Wildercorps Hunters featuring some awesome dog miniatures. The box also comes with a Mawpit and Warband…

Watch.

City of Sigmar hunters vs ogor gorgers.

Remember those starving ogres from WFB?

Yeah, this is their AoS glow up, pretty nice.

I installed the Automatic Program Load option on my Data General Nova 1200's CPU board. It uses a weird open-collector N82S23N Programmable Read-Only Memory. Not an EPROM, just PROM -- you get ONE shot to program it right and if you screw it up, it's ruined forever. All that's needed to install it is a pair of sockets (or directly soldering it into the PCB, but I wouldn't recommend that).

I am so tired of seeing arguments against J/C, saying that Kate never wanted them together on Voyager because it would blah blah blah. Guess what? We are in agreement and we understand why it was necessary, especially when you consider the context of the time when the show was made. We fully support why it had to be done that way back then.

But times change; narratives and characters evolve, and views and perceptions shift. If anything, Voyager's inability to ever have two adult characters discuss their feelings ended up falling into another trap - they had Chakotay go after the 'prettier and younger' girl. You know what kind of message that sent to girls and women? You can have the most profound relationship in the universe with someone, yet he will still pick the prettier girl over you, even if they have nothing in common.

Prodigy had the perfect opportunity to subvert expectations by making them canon because, in retrospect, the 'will they, won't they' dynamic was predictable.

It was stated multiple times that they were afraid it would completely take over the show, but I don’t see almost anyone mentioning that this is exactly what happened with Wesley. Every podcast I listen to spends 50% of the time talking about Wesley, while the main Protostar crew is hardly ever discussed. J/C is also mentioned in passing. It all became about Wesley. In trying so hard to avoid falling into the imaginary J/C trap, they ended up in a much worse one, where all any Trek fan wants to talk about isn’t the Protostar kids or J/C, but Wesley and Wil Wheaton.

 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

listen. idgaf whether fearne wanted the shard or not. this isn't about fearne saying ashton should have the shard. this is about ashton taking the shard without telling the rest of the party! this is about ashton (nearly) killing themself because of a misguided assumption about what the party needs, without any actual discussion about it! this is about ashton's persistent inability to let people speak for themselves instead of presuming to know what's best for them! do you hear me!!!!!
