hello hello i remember a while back you mentioned the caliban as being the most explicitly evil chassis in lancer on the basis of it being designed to solve a numbers problem of a human life, but what do you think of the white witch? there's a line in its flavor text that says "What does existence mean when it can be ended with a thought?" i think that nicely aligns with the stuff from ksbd that proposes "A true sovereign need not flex a single muscle in his body, and a hundred men die..." and while the caliban is specifically made with the intent to kill people outside of mechs the white witch can extinguish life with a passing thought, without any consideration or weight that comes with taking a life! apologies if this isn't super well word, but a penny for your thoughts please!

i don’t know if i stand by that, exactly. i don’t think the caliban is *more evil* than other mechanised chassis, they’re all designed for violence, it’s just, like, one of the most viscerally unpleasant, the hardest to romanticise. you can’t really apply the mythos of the Mecha to it, in or out of universe, because it’s so nakedly just a doorkicker with a big gun.

the white witch exists at the opposite end of that spectrum of viscerality, doesn’t it? they’re both gonna kill you, and it’s going to be quick either way, but one is a man with a gun and the other is functionally indistinguishable from a malevolent wizard, so it’s a very different prospect psychologically.

the witch is cloaked in mythos, steeped in it, to such a point that what it actually, materially is and does *can* be easily ignored. even the people who built it are under the sway of its mythology - “what does existence mean when it can be ended with a thought?” they ask themselves, as if the end result of their magic is fundamentally different from what happens to a human body when the trigger of a shotgun is pulled. that’s the real tragedy of the white witch, i think, the real horror of it. to follow you back to ksbd:

“Behold! The awesome fires of God. The limitless power of pure creation itself. Look carefully! Observe how it is used for the same purpose a man might use an especially sharp rock.”

you are just mad at me because I put your sect to the sword, which is frankly immature of you, because I've done that to a lot of other sects

there, I probably won't go further with them, let them be this way

Hail ye! A dead knight of dead Caliban In sleepless dream strides forth Her guns ever-telling, ever-ending A wake in blood and bone, iron-trodden

Judith, grave-borne, tomb-shielded Dead, killing, unforgiven

Turns out there's more than one way to make lady space marines!

I still haven't found a way to photograph very big miniatures (oxymoron?) like this in a way that I'm totally happy with, but hopefully you get the idea. I am very happy with the model itself!

The early medieval-style banner is a particular milestone for me, being the first (and I guess, 2nd, because it's double-sided) time I've managed to paint a decent-looking face on a 2d surface! I took the opportunity to make the dreadnought pilot female because I've sort of committed to the idea of having all my Dark Angels wear helmets. Helmetless heads on marines are often a good way to express your chapter's identity, but I think an important aspect of the Dark Angels (at least post-heresy) is that their identity is on a need-to-know basis. Therefore, helmets for everybody! It made a lot of sense to me though that this walking, fighting reliquary should carry some sort of tribute to its pilot, so Judith gets a portrait.

PS before anybody gets confused, her skin is green mainly because I didn't want to upset my nice disciplined colour palette, but I also like the idea of green skin being associated with death & rebirth as in the case of the Egyptian Osiris.

That's enough words for today! Hope you all are doing well and that your skin is a regular human colour.

Battlewagons galore! An ork of the Bad Moons isn't worth his teef if he doesn't have a proper iron krumpany at their beck and call. I'm on my way to having a pretty decent motor pool of tanks to call upon.

idk who needs to hear this but there is currently an Armored Core 6 TTRPG in development and guess what. ITS NOT A D&D CLONE!!!!!!!!!

these were translated by bradydunawayart on reddit, though theres basically no information on the mechanics as of now and the only listings are on jp amazon so who knows if there will ever be an official translation but it looks really cool!

The T-6 shuttle, also called the T-6 Jedi Shuttle, was an unarmed transport used by the Jedi Order. An older design, it saw greater use during the Clone Wars. By the time of the early rebellion against the Galactic Empire, the shuttlecockpit was used in the design of the A/SF-01 B-wing starfighter.
