Warhammer World Reveals for Mar 2, 2024

So I'm late on this, and not looking to not be late on these any time soon. Still, I really enjoy blogging these reveals.

In case you didn't hear, this time we didn't get a live show. My guess is that this isn't because live shows won't be a thing anymore, but just because they don't have many reveals this time around. Still, we'll have to wait and see what they're up to in the future.

We still get our WarCom article above, so let's take a look at what we've got!

NOW DATZ PROPPER ORKY!!!

LOOK AT DAT MECH SUIT!!!

LOOK AT DEM WEAPONZ!!!

Seriously! This Big Mek is badass! I definitely prefer the alternate head sculpt with the iron jaw. But if you're someone who pictures your Waaagh's Mek as being a little more kunnin', the main previewed sculpt is still good.

We also get some stats. That is a nice big gun, but in keeping with standard Ork themes it's going to be very swingy. While fly can be a relevant keyword, you're not bringing this git for his firepower.

This, on the other hand, is a perfect reason to bring him. Re-rolling advance rolls isn't anything to sneeze at, and this will make his unit really hard to screen out. Very dangerous, especially if Calling the Waaagh remains unchanged.

There's an interesting box for you!

I'm not going to speculate on whether or not this box will be any good, since we don't know what's going to happen in the codex. But three of those kits are pretty relevant right now. And if you've ever wanted a Stompa, here's a potential discount if you need or can split the other models.

Finally we have our Codex reveal. Haven't been the biggest fan of this Edition's Codex art so far. Don't get me wrong, it's a cool piece of art, but it doesn't really sell the army well to me.

Next we have our reveal for the Custodes. And yeah, sorry, this doesn't bring as much excitement for me as that Big Mek.

Our second new mini is a new Shield-Captain. He definitely looks suitably ornate and imposing, but I'd keep the helmet on. I think the expression on that head sculpt is supposed to be contempt, but it's just not reading clearly as anything. In fact it just as easily reads as, "What the hell happened to this galaxy while I was stuck on Terra?" Fitting maybe, but not really portraying the majesty of the finest warriors in the galaxy.

The Shield-Captain can now take a Pyrithite Spear, which is appropriate since you'd think a Shield-Captain could basically wield whatever they wanted. Previously, this weapon was limited to Forge World. Melta may have lost a step in 10th Edition, but Custodes have plenty of ways to get more out of it.

This model is also coming with it's own box set, including a full six Vertus Praetors. Those aren't doing particularly well right now, but they could get some love in the upcoming Codex.

Again, that's a very well done golden man, but there's nothing here to sell the faction or inspire a player. Why aren't they doing battle scenes on these covers anymore? Seeing a Captain and three Guard holding their own against a horde in their elegant combat stances would go much further to depict just how epic these warriors are.

This ties in with Hammer and Bolter, bringing characters introduced there to the table top. As such, I feel like this is going to be a bit niche.

The sculpts are definitely nice, but I'm not really seeing anything that screams AoS about them.

One of my greatest praises for current GW has been how they've used the Mortal Realms to really let their imaginations take flight. So many of the new factions are just such wonderful reimaginings classic fantasy races. But these look like they would feel at home in any dark fantasy world. You could easily see them stepping off the pages of a Conan novel from the 1950s. For some, this will be a good thing. But especially now that Old World is back, I want Sigmar to keep pushing and keep giving us stuff that is new and cool.

There's also no hint at rules, or even system, for this band of killers. I'm betting we might eventually see rules for both AoS and Warcry. But it would be nice if they got some Underworlds love too, even if maybe the Singri has to stay behind.

This is the one reveal I'd had spoiled. This is so much fun and Blood Bowl is the perfect place for it! When I saw the preview of the goose, I was honestly thinking that maybe it was something for halfling cooks for Old World. But this is way better!

These are a lot of fun, but I do kinda wish they'd gone a bit further. These gnomes don't really look like they're playing the most brutal sport in Fantasy. But I can't help but think of how much fun, and thematic to the game, it would be to see a bunch of wild animals just let loose on the field.

Remember, there's no rule that says a badger can't play Blood Bowl!

Final Thoughts

This was fun! Although I had a lot to say about Codex covers, that Shield-Captain's face sculpt, and some generic bad guys in AoS, these were still fun reveals. I can also definitely understand why they didn't really hype us up for them or do a live show. But as a casual release for a Saturday news post, this is perfect.

And yeah, I'm not gonna stop being salty about 10th Edition Codexes any time soon. So it will probably take something impressive to make me cheer a Codex reveal.

Meet Misty

Since I rediscovered my love for Tekken, I'm back playing it regularly. In the post I mentioned about working on an OC and here's Misty!

Name: Misty Esprit

Age: 24 (T1) / 26 (T2) / 45 (T3) / 48 (T8)

Misty is a promising karateka from Phoenix, AZ, that was active during first two tournaments. The assassination of her dojo's master led her straight into the criminal underworld. After getting a lead on the culprit, she forged her invite to the first King of Iron Fist Tournament.

Misty fighting Marshall Law in Tekken 1

During the tournament she learned that it's Nina Williams who's allegedly responsible for her master's death, but she only got to talk to her two years later, in the second tournament to which she actually got a real invite this time. Their meeting ended up being an absolute mess - she witnessed Nina and her sister getting abducted to be put in a cryogenic sleep. Knowing she's dealing with something much bigger than she can handle, she decided to bail and stopped looking for revenge, instead trying to honor her master by leading the dojo and leaving the criminal life behind.

Misty fighting Kunimitsu in Tekken 2

Throughout her time at the tournaments she met and fell in love with Michelle Chang (she actually has a similar reason for getting into the tournament - their pasts helped them bond). They ended up living together. After a dozen years, during the search for Michelle pre-Tekken 3, along with many world renowned fighters Misty became a target for Ogre. She managed to survive the fight thanks to Julia's (her adoptive daughter) intervention. Due to her injuries she couldn't continue searching for her lover and left everything in her daughter's hands.

Michelle was found by Julia and brought back safe to Misty, but Misty still chose to not attend further tournaments to focus on her family and the dojo.

Obviously she's going to return to fighting, now more mature and experienced (being 48 years old at the time of Tekken 8 compared to 24 during Tekken 1). I'm still working on a reason for her to come back but she will, looking absolutely badass. Just look at her pics, her 40+ rendition is my favorite to play as.

Misty fighting her daughter in Tekken 8 for some reason

I always imagined her fighting style being fast and brutal and after playing a bit as Hitomi in Dead or Alive I realized karate was the style I was looking for, including most of the moves I was thinking about. Few days later I read a news article about Lidia coming back to Tekken and I remembered that she's a karateka as well! I instantly booted up Tekken 7 and started editing her, so she looks more like how I see Misty.

I think I did a great job capturing her in various parts of her life, even though Lidia herself looks very young. For Tekken 1 I went for a PS1 render look, especially with her hairstyle (hard to explain). Her Tekken 2 look is supposed to be a more refined, definitive version of her young self, while her present appearance is just being a badass mature woman with a lot of experience and a family (of fighters, nonetheless) to take care of.

I don't think I'm going to post about her a lot. Tekken 7 has no photo mode and shooting the pics for this post was a pain in the ass. As for Tekken 8, as I mentioned in a post I linked above, I'm not going to buy it until it gets all the content and a massive discount. Then, if I can still turn Lidia into Misty, I'll make use of the newly introduced photo mode and maybe add some more lore.

But I just like thinking about her and what she's like, whether it's when I'm working or just vibing - such was the case with Crimson as well! And as with Crimson - her background just came to me in an instant and I just rolled with it. I love when that happens.

In the booming world of construction services, your reputation can either build or destroy your business prospects pretty quickly, and one prominent way this repute is gauged and evolved is via referrals. The article titled, "The Power of Referrals: Cultivating a Strong Construction Services Network" serves to shed light on this under-emphasized albeit crucial aspect for growing your construction business. If you run a construction company and keen on leveraging the power of referrals to grow your client network, then this piece is a must-read for you. Imagine for a moment; you are amid deciding on which construction company to employ for your new project. As the substantial financial investment that it is, would you simply opt for a company based on a flashy advertisement or choose one recommended by a trusted acquaintance, given their proven results? The answer is clear, and hence underpins the importance of word-of-mouth referrals. Referrals in the construction industry are not just any endorsements - they are a direct reflection of your company's past performances, work ethics, and overall reputation in the market. However, the significance of referrals is often understated, with more focus given to aggressive advertising campaigns. The ultimate edge, though, lies in realizing that positive referrals can work as a fountainhead of sustainable growth and security in the unpredictable arena of construction services. 1. Enhances Credibility and Reliability Referrals serve as the ultimate testimonials, aimed at bolstering your company's credibility. People trust personal experiences more than anything else, so a glowing recommendation from a satisfied customer increases the potential of your business being considered credible and reliable. It's all about trust banking - the more positive referrals you receive, the larger your trust bank grows. 2. Fuels Business Growth Business growth is, undisputedly, the North Star for any company. But in the world of construction, growth can often be mired in an ocean of challenges. This is where referrals kick in. They form a trustworthy, cost-effective, and efficient channel to expand your construction clientele network, forging a road towards growth. 3. Reduces Marketing Costs The cost of customer acquisition is one of the most substantial expenditures that companies face. An effective referral strategy can dramatically cut these costs because customers won through referrals are often more loyal and less likely to demand large discounts, thus boosting your overall profitability. So how can a construction company foster a healthy referral ecosystem? Here are some tips: - Deliver Excellence: There's no substitute for delivering an excellent service. Great work will always inspire your customers to refer you to their peers willingly. - Foster Strong Relationships: Nurture relationships with your previous clients, checking in on them periodically to ensure their satisfaction. - Ask for Referrals: Don't hesitate to ask for referrals. If your customer is satisfied with your work, they'll be more than happy to recommend your services to others. - Develop a Referral Program: Incentivizing referrals can be very effective. Offering discounts, promotional offers, or other benefits to customers who bring in new business can be a win-win situation. In conclusion, referrals are a powerful tool that can energize your business growth, add credibility to your brand, and help you stand out in the crowded sector of construction services. Knowing the power a good referral holds, it makes good business sense to give this strategy the attention and focus that it duly deserves. Case Study: How XYZ Construction Built a Robust Referral Network and Multiplied their Revenue XYZ Construction is a mid-sized construction company based in New York. The company was facing stiff competition from larger firms and struggling to increase its customer base. Instead of investing more in traditional advertising, they implemented

a unique and strategic referral system, thus leveraging "The Power of Referrals in Cultivating a Strong Construction Services Network". Starting Point: At the beginning, XYZ had about 30 customers, and roughly 75% of their new projects were coming from regular customers. While this was beneficial, the company was only almost entirely reliant on repeat business, which didn't allow for much growth. Implementation of Referral System: To kick-start the process, XYZ Construction analyzed their happiest customers and asked them directly for referrals. They also offered a discount on future projects as an incentive to those clients when their referrals turned into projects. In addition, the company incorporated a referral request within their project completion communication and ensured to ask once the customer expressed satisfaction. Building Relationships with Other Businesses: XYZ understood that referrals could also come from other businesses. For this reason, the company formed strategic partnerships with local real estate agencies and interior design firms. This step created a pooling system whereby these associated businesses would refer XYZ for construction work in return for referrals for their services. Results and Growth: As a result of these actions, XYZ Construction saw a 70% increase in their customer base, nearly 40% of which came through referrals alone. By the end of the second year, the company had augmented their revenue significantly, and decided to increase their financial incentive for referrals, further fueling their growth. Tangible Advice and Actionable Steps: 1. Understand Your Customers: Your current customers are the best source for new referrals. Analyze which customers are most satisfied with your services and directly ask them for referrals. 2. Incentivize: Offer discounts or perks to customers who give referrals that turn into business. This not only encourages them to refer more, but it also fosters customer loyalty. 3. Leverage Business Networks: Form strategic partnerships with businesses that complement yours. These companies can refer you to their clients who need your services and vice versa. 4. Consistent Communication: Incorporate referral requests in your communication with clients. When a project is completed and the customer is happy, take the opportunity to ask for a referral. 5. Track and Adapt: Keep track of where your referrals are coming from and adapt your strategy as needed. This data-driven approach will enable you to focus your efforts more effectively. In conclusion, referrals can have a transformative impact on a construction company's growth if leveraged properly. By building and nourishing a solid referral network, your business too can flourish exponentially, just like XYZ Construction. "Ready to unlock the power of referrals and build an unbeatable construction services network? Don't wait! Contact us today and let's revolutionize your business together." Start Your Digital Transformation Now! "According to a report by Harvard Business Review, customers obtained through referrals have a 37% higher retention rate. This statistic highlights the pivotal role of referrals in enhancing sales strategies for construction services."

OEM Gift Bags: Elevating Your Brand Strategy

In today's fiercely competitive market, branding has emerged as the cornerstone of business success. Amidst this landscape, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) gift bags have transcended their traditional role, morphing into powerful tools for amplifying brand presence and fostering customer loyalty. This article delves into the strategic significance of OEM gift bags in elevating branding strategies, elucidating their multifaceted impact on consumer perceptions and market positioning.

OEM gift bags, often overlooked as mere vessels for product delivery, harbor immense potential as conduits of brand messaging and identity. Far beyond their utilitarian function, these bags serve as tangible embodiments of a brand's ethos and values. Each element, from the choice of materials to the design aesthetic, contributes to shaping the recipient's perception of the brand. Through meticulous attention to detail, OEMs can leverage gift bags as vehicles for storytelling, weaving narratives that resonate with their target audience.

In essence, OEM gift bags serve as silent ambassadors, forging connections with consumers on a subconscious level. Whether it's the sleek finish of the packaging or the subtle embossing of the logo, every aspect communicates a distinct message about the brand's commitment to quality and innovation. Moreover, by incorporating eco-friendly materials and sustainable practices, OEMs can align their branding efforts with evolving consumer preferences, signaling a conscientious approach towards environmental stewardship.

One of the more compelling aspects of OEM gift bags lies in their versatility. Unlike conventional advertising channels, such as television commercials or print ads, gift bags offer a tangible, tactile experience that resonates deeply with recipients. Whether it's a bespoke gift bag accompanying a high-end electronic device or a promotional giveaway at a corporate event, the impact is palpable. By integrating elements of surprise and delight, OEMs can create memorable brand experiences that foster long-term engagement and advocacy.

Furthermore, OEM gift bags possess inherent viral potential, serving as catalysts for word-of-mouth marketing. In an era dominated by social media, a well-designed gift bag has the power to spark conversations and catalyze user-generated content. From unboxing videos to Instagram-worthy snapshots, consumers are eager to showcase their brand interactions, amplifying reach and influence organically. By harnessing the inherent shareability of gift bags, OEMs can extend their brand's digital footprint and cultivate an army of brand advocates.

In the realm of corporate gifting, OEM gift bags emerge as indispensable tools for relationship-building and brand reinforcement. Whether it's a token of appreciation for valued clients or a gesture of goodwill towards employees, the act of gifting transcends transactional boundaries, forging emotional connections that endure over time. By personalizing gift bags with thoughtful touches, such as handwritten notes or exclusive discounts, OEMs can nurture loyalty and goodwill, laying the groundwork for enduring partnerships.

Moreover, OEM gift bags offer a unique opportunity for experiential branding, allowing consumers to interact with the brand in a tangible, immersive manner. By curating curated experiences, such as pop-up events or exclusive previews, OEMs can deepen consumer engagement and foster a sense of belonging within their community. Through strategic partnerships and collaborations, OEMs can extend the reach of their brand, tapping into new audiences and markets previously beyond their grasp.

In conclusion, OEM gift bags represent far more than mere packaging; they embody the essence of a brand's identity and aspirations. From their tactile allure to their viral potential, these bags wield immense power in shaping consumer perceptions and driving brand affinity. By elevating their branding strategies to encompass the full spectrum of consumer touchpoints, OEMs can forge lasting connections with their audience, propelling their brand to new heights of success.

'“Be yourself," goes Oscar Wilde's famous quip*, "everybody else is already taken."

Yes, yes... it’s funny because it’s true. Except, strictly speaking, it's not true. It discounts the quite practical possibility of murdering someone you idolise in cold blood, destroying the body and assuming their identity to enjoy their life for the rest of yours. The rest is mere details: forge some utility bills, change your appearance and mannerisms, decipher their social media passwords and convince the people who love them that they’ve done a runner.

Yes, you’d have to spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder. And yes, you'd probably have to murder anyone who gets too close to the truth. But what price is that to pay for the life you’ve always wanted?

That’s the trick according to Tom Ripley, the eponymous psychopath at the centre of Netflix’s new series Ripley, based on the bestselling set of novels by Patricia Highsmith.

The limited series, starring one-time ‘hot priest’ Andrew Scott as our life-shifting antihero, is a moody, noirish, slow-burn of a TV show, shot entirely in black and white with a score that oozes over the action like Marmite.

Scott's portrayal of Tom Ripley is as haunting as it is enthralling, capturing the character's complex layers of manipulation and inner turmoil. And unlike Anthony Minghella’s sun-drenched 1999 adaptation, starring Matt Damon and Jude Law, it’s much closer to the book’s dark and morally ambiguous tone, delving deep into the psyche of literature’s most loveable psychopath.

First published in 1955, The Talented Mr Ripley was a massive hit, immersing readers in her murky world of deception and consequence, where the line between right and wrong swirls into a murky grey. And, as decades passed, more books followed, deepening Highsmith's exploration into the lengths one man will go to escape his own identity and fulfil his desires.

So what are the books, and how should they be read? The short answer is that, while each novel can be read as a standalone story, they are interconnected and depict the evolution of Ripley's character over time. So it's best to read them chronologically.

Read on for more (WARNING: this article may include spoilers).

*There is no substantive evidence that Wilde ever said this, but it sounds like a witticism he could have said, so the attribution has stuck.

1. The Talented Mr. Ripley (1955)

In the first novel of the series, we meet Tom Ripley, a down-on-his-luck con artist living off his wits in Italy. But, in a chance encounter with the rich and classy Mr Greenleaf, he finds himself on a mission to coastal Italy to persuade Greenleaf’s loafer son to return to the U.S. and get serious.

Does he fall in love with Greenleaf Jr himself, or just with his lifestyle? It’s hard to tell. But gradually he inveigles himself into the doomed playboy’s world and, in doing so, into our sympathies.

But here's the thing: Tom is so damn likeable. He’s self-effacing, shy and charmingly naïve about the ways of the wealthy – an orphan with a hard past who, through graft, charm, and sheer force of personality, beats the odds to make a success of his life.

It's just that... the thing he's really successful at is getting away with murder.

2. Ripley Under Ground (1970)

Years have passed, and Ripley – despite Highsmith’s multiple hints that he is gay – has settled down with a wealthy French heiress and is moonlighting as a counterfeit art dealer.

But paranoia over his past is setting in. A loose thread from a past art forgery threatens to unravel the life he’s forged for himself. To silence a hungry collector, Ripley improvises a deadly gamble. The move backfires, pulling him towards a closing net.

A relentless detective digs into a missing person's case, and a ghost from Ripley's bloody past emerges. Can he silence them before his house of cards collapses, revealing the killer beneath the gentleman's facade?

3. Ripley's Game (1974)

Living the wealthy life in France, Tom Ripley craves excitement. When a shady associate asks him to arrange a murder, Ripley hatches a twisted plan. He convinces a sickly neighbour, Jonathan Trevanny, that the Mafia wants him dead.

Ripley orchestrates a chilling game, manipulating Trevanny and relishing the chaos. But the thrill turns deadly when the real Mob, suspicious of Ripley's involvement, sends hitmen. Now Ripley, forced to confront his past sins, must fight for his own survival in a deadly game of his own making.

4. The Boy Who Followed Ripley (1980)

Living the quiet life in France, Ripley's world is shaken by a teenage runaway named Frank. The boy harbours a dark secret: he killed his wealthy father. As Ripley recognises a kindred spirit in Frank, they form a twisted bond.

But that bond unravels when Frank inadvertently learns of Ripley's criminal past. So, in a bid to control the situation, Ripley kidnaps Frank to stop him from talking. Suddenly, Ripley finds himself drawn into Berlin's criminal underworld as he is forced not only to confront dangerous men, but also the lengths he is prepared to go to save his own skin.

5. Ripley Under Water (1991)

In his French chateau, Ripley cultivates a garden as scrupulously as his stolen life. Yet, a weed of suspicion sprouts. A new neighbour, the obnoxious Pritchard, seems fixated on Ripley's past.

As Pritchard probes further, the ground under Ripley's feet begins to give way. A tenacious detective from Ripley's past stirs, and a witness emerges from the shadows. Can Ripley silence the hum before it becomes an alarm, exposing the blood on his manicured hands and the chilling truth beneath his masquerade?'
