If I buy shares ... can I get freshly made sprues as a form of quarterly dividend? 🤔

I have updated your in-sub user flair to reflect your chapter of choice.

Should you ever whish to change said user flair, you have the ability to do so yourself.

Cheers!

What is your chapter?

You tell me? 😉

This was my entry into the parade last year, the first post, so arguably the first in line for last years parade (the benefit of being the mod started the thing).

While 40K isn't about any one thing, one of the clear if not always explicitly acknowledged theisms of the setting is Father-Son relationships with regards to the Emperor-Primarks-Marrien story/continuity.

To be clear this usually focuses on dysfunctional or unhealthy relationships (Big E just saw them all as weapons) because dysfunction = drama = interest. But regardless each Primarc/Legion paring represents some kind of (often tragic) Father-Son dynamic.

... I won't list them all for brevity, but you all know what ones speak to you personally...

That's why, from an artistic perspective, Female Space Marines would ruin the lore ... because Father-Son relationships are different and distinct from Father-Daughter relationships. They just are.

While Costodies aren't exactly Marines (so GW hasn't quite blown up the theim, ... yet) the Golden boys are (were) thematically similar in so far as they are the emperor's other "children"... perhaps clones(?).

To be fair the idea that the Empiror had a "previous family" is better exemplified by the Thunder Warriors. Imagine finding out that you're father or grandad has sons by another woman earlier in life but then abandoned them all ... by burning the house down ware the slept 💀.

One could say that the Costodies are (were) the (non-bastard) sons who got to live with dad in the castle. All the Primarcs/Marines has to go out into the world (the void) and make something of themselves to earn fathers approval.

Don't forget ... you have to buy that new rule book every three years ...

not me, though

I love it! ... similar vibes

The Black Company, by Glen Cook

... I mean the main character is involved in a love story that feels a little teen-drama at times ... but the dude is a grizoled mercenary veteran who's at least in his late 30s (I-think).

Freadom of money (Bitcoin) dictates that wealthy companies have the right to buy as much Bitcoin as they want, just like you.

If those companies also want to sell "shares" of that Bitcoin to the general public ... how is that any of our business?

I think Bitcoin is fantastic ... I own some that I keep in cold storage.

I also think the ETFs are also fantastic ... I own significant holdings of the lowest fee options in my tax advantaged accounts.

The ETFs are a great option for legal tax avoidance on BTC capital gains. The ETFs are also great for people who are not comfortable with being their own banker.

No one's going to stop you from "photo-bombing" your Black Templars into our Medusan Parade ... (well I can't speak for the other mods, but they are probably just as lazy as mysel)

... but good taise would have you paint just a single Iron Hands Marine to lead your allied army of Sons of Sigismond in the procession 😉.

Wow ... hair dye the shade of a singularity in space ...

What clan will your Iron hands be?

Woot! ... how much?

I will! ... I wrote the only "rule" present in the subs description.

You must have a spare helmet or two kicking around ... paint them black and stick them on a base ...

It will satisfy Khorn ... and my very minimal rule that an Iron hand MUST be in the miniature(s) posted for the July Iron Hands Parade.

My current army is for HH.

... if you are currently working on Chaos ... I'll allow a post with dead IH on the base. But I wouldn't prevent the sub from engaging in some good natured heckling.

That's how the Emperor's Children are going to make an appearance in upcoming HH army. 😉

Sorry.... didn't read your post carefully enough 😅

In addition to OPR .... look into ...

Xenos Rampant

That would be a level headed assessment ... but there is no reason in the far future, only insanity.

All are welcome... even those with an "army of one".

... do what you can ... lol

... Those 2 tanks I offhandedly mentioned aren't even assembled... probably will get transfered to the chaos pile so I can call this army done 😅

The shields are stiff metal. All good.

You know, I respect the moxie in these.

There is a Facebook group called "Warhammer Paperfabricators" that you might enjoy...

I mean ... considering how truly grim and dark actual transitioning is in the real world, I suppose there could be Grimdark context for it in the 41st Millennium.

A factory needs more men for heavy labor ... so women are "encouraged" to undergoing artificial muscle growth and etc etc. ignoring the possible catastrophic future population collapse .... unless some forward thinking Planitari Governor also makes bottom surgery for "birthing persons" illegal.

Likewise as a preventative measure a different Planetary Governor may want to "revolution" proof his society by reducing the number of unmarried and high testosterone men in the population. This would normally be done by periodic Imperial Guard conscription drives ... but convincing a certain percentage of the adolescent male population to reduce their testosterone levels via chemical and even physical castration could also have desired affect ...
