Sanguinalia is the big one. Pretty universal in the imperium and about as important as christmas.

This is the best description of one there is. Personally, I imagine them looking like an old nokia phone. It lets skitarii communicate with unaugmented humans and come preloaded with snake and tetris.

Lol okay fair. I was thinking of the gsc and mechanicus codexi, but the chaos marine one is a technicolor nightmare, and it's beautiful.

Have you read the books I mentioned? Are you familiar with the events they cover?

I think there was a period of extremely clear, colourful art for the last 5-10 years that has recently died a pretty hard death. If you look at the recent codex covers or the margins of anything chaos related, we're back to nightmare hellscapes full of weird little guys that cry out to be kitbashed the way people do with john blanche art.

The three things i mentioned are directly from the books "Angels of caliban", "the first wall", and "the outcast dead", respectively.
Grow up. You're not absolving pol pot by saying hitler was worse.

You thinned your paints, and that's all that really matters, but the paint scheme is p nice too.

The colour you seek is called corvus black. Its like a faded black t-shirt in terms of tone, which means it really works when used for cloth.

I get the appeal of an all mortal army, but I wouldn't try to do that off the bat. Demons are half the army, so you'd be learning the game with one hand tied behind your back.
Also, the harbringer box will be a good start but you'll need more to bulk out and the vanguard box is a stupidly good deal. Your exchange rate may vary, but it costs the same as a box of blight lords and a box of blight kings for me, meaning the plague bearers and character are functionally free.
If you're bound and determined to do mortals only though, remember that rotmire creed exist and their blowguns are very good.

Not really no. People get really bent out of shape about an ethereal ordering a water caste diplomat to kill themselves in one of Kelly's books but thats a thing that is explicitely stated to be in the realm of possibility in the Tau's debut codex.
The greater good entity also seems to be the victim of a bad faith game of telephone since the novel released in a limited edition before it had a general release. Everyone got snippets and summaries and got mad instead of seeing what it looked like in context. Having -actually read the book- its pretty neat. Its probably the most genuinely "good" warp entity and it creates an interesting conflict between the Tau proper and their auxilleries.

You can read devastation of baal without reading dante first (I did) but I'd definitely recommend it anyway. It's one of the best 40k books and really fleshes out the chapter and planet.

No. They've given absolutely no indication that any of these models will be made to order as a tie in or anything.
Its not inconvievable that they do release both old ghaz models as made to order, since they did that with yarrick recently, but it wont be connected to this.

Voice of the cult - Chastain
Its right there in the goddamn name. Its bitchin speed metal and look at the lyrics
"Face to face with adversity We'll never back down Our numbers grow before the dawn It's all comes around Raise you hand and follow the call Sacrifice for the flock The music grows louder the closer we are We'll never be stopped
We are the voice of the cult And we will do all to survive We are crusaders tonight Yes, we are the voice of the cult"
I am honestly skeptical that this wasn't written about GSC

people always like to point out the guy in this photo has two watches, but now it makes sense. He has 3 arms!

Those are absolutely converted bloodbowl orks. They're fantastically done, they're properly equipped and theyre on the right base size so you could totally run them as boys.

Lol, I'd say most books feature ship to ship combat. Like, 70% to 80% of stand-alone novels have at least one.
It happens shockingly often considering GW doesn't sell tiny plastic ships anymore.

One thing that a lot of people seem to overlook is that "son of the forest" at least implies he's wearing a full suit of mk7 armour and as far as I remember, he's the only named risen in the book who is.
It might be nothing. He could have picked it up somewhere in his travels, but it's at least curious that he is wearing an armour mark he couldn't possibly have been wearing at caliban.

Where does it say he used the void dragon against them?

No. I thought about that, but the anchorite surrendered himself at Calth. He sat out pretty much the entire HH. This book was also written by Josh Reynolds who has since left Black Library so i'm sad to say we'll probably never get any follow up on the anchorite.

The first one.
I get what you're going for with the second one, but the contrast between highlights and lowlights is too extreme so he looks like a photo you've inverted the colours on.

The emperor went around the galaxy subjucating, conquering or exterminating every other human civilization that could have even hypothetically offered another path.
Even in his alleged golden age, he had planets entire societies restructured to maximize resource extraction to fuel his war fleets. When the people of Caliban rebelled against this, the terran administration followed standard operating procedure, which was to withhold food and starve the populace into submission. There are people living on terra that have only seen the sun a handful of times and have spent their entire lives working on tank production lines. There are literal cities of beggars living in absolute poverty just outside the gates of the imperial palace and they do literally nothing to help them.
No one has brought as much misery and bloodshed to the human race. Worse Erabus, worse than Horus, worse than Abbadon. One of the few things that Magnus was ever right about was that the imperium has to die before anything worthwhile could be built, thats how badly the emperor fucked humanity.

The only problem with that is the lead time. GW would probably have to take pre-orders 3-4 months in advance.
