After playing all the First Strike missions with my brother I decided to jump back into 40K properly. Today I bought the T'au starter box - I have never held so many sprues at once and I am more than a little overwhelmed, but looking forward to building some mechas.

With the completion of the Maleceptor kit I built yesterday I have, at present, built all of the plastic I own. This includes magnetizing the shit out of the two carnifexes I recently picked up.

Ordered my Knight Castellan and squad of Aggressors last night, which are the last models I need for my 2000pt Ultramarines. Everything else is in various stages of primed, base coated, or detailed. Getting through the three squads of intercessors right now. I think by the end of the year, fingers crossed, I actually have my first completely painted 40K army in probably a decade.
The Tau Vs orks battle report in the new white dwarf is pretty fun!
Orks lose but the board was a bit one sided and the Ork army was made predominantly to show off the new vehicle.
The board was essentially a long corridor of building diagonally. Tau at one end Orks at the other which mean the Tau had three turns of shooting at the Orks before they got close.

Here's the list I have all the models for at this point. I've played it with some proxies and it's fun. It's meant more as a fun theme army than a competitive list, but I've had some great games with it so far.
I do have a question about WYSIWYG though. With Intercessors, the kit actually doesn't come with power swords. How do people normally do the WYSIWYG here? It seems strange that the kit doesn't come with an option the models can use.
e: Never mind, found the Ultramarine Primaris Upgrade kits that come with a power sword arm. Guess I'm ordering a pair of those.
GW already went into damage control and put out a funny Facebook post about it too. Those community guys are super on point and deserve multiple raises.

Good God Australia and New Zealand are getting boned.
Shut up, Mr. Burton! You were not brought upon this world to get it!
Maybe some of the other boxed sets and games have spoiled me, but it doesn't actually look like you get a huge amount of stuff in that for its price tag?

I need a better quality picture and an actual idea of how many minis are in there. Because that might not be all of them in there.

Silver Tower had ~50 miniatues, Hammerhal had ~30 and they were both priced at ~£100 or so, squinting at that blurry image I'd guess it's somewhere between those ranges.
How many of those 50 Silver Tower models were tiny little brimstone horrors, spidergobbos, or tzeench familiars?
Several! To memory it was 8 gerblins, 4 brimstones and 8 familiars (who were pretty clearly just on the sprue where there was enough space to squeeze them on).
Delaques are really cool. Those will show up in so so many inquisition and admech conversions.
I'm not sure yet about the Ranger for Blackstone fortress. Maybe a bit too much focus on "look, a woman" by the modeller.
I think I need to see her in 3D before I can figure out how I feel about her. The pose looks really flat in the current picture, like a throwback to 2nd edition models.

I never fear death or dyin', I only fear never trying.
I have mixed feelings on the new Necromunda books.
Happy that they will make flicking through the small library I carry around for Necro game night currently much easier.
Hopeful that they might tighten the worrying large amount of loose rules issues.
Fearful they won't, or will introduce more.
Sad at the amount of books I bought over the last year that are about to become obsolete.
Perils of the early adopter I suppose. I've been playing loads of Necro games since the re-release so I can't say I haven't got use out of the stuff I bought so far.
Ork boyz - 11 models, 10 boyz + a nob, super dated models (LIKE SUPERDATED)... $35 Canadian.
Gouged eye blood bowl team - 12 models, should be pretty easy to convert, same sized bases included, look way better... $40 Canadian plus some bitz
Have they done beta codexes before? This is probably a great way to ensure that the main codex doesn't need drastic FAQs after release meaning you don't have to carry printouts with you.

It’s a very Raygun-Gothic design (I like that)

I'm torn on what colors to paint my Knight. On the one hand House Terryn makes sense because it matches the Ultramarines so closely. On the other hand I could go with another house color scheme to make it "pop" more on the table next to my Smurfs. On the other other hand, I'll probably use him as the basis for an eventual Imperial Knights army, so...maybe choose his color scheme based on what house I want to make that army?

I saw some gameplay while watching Lewis and Ben Save The World on YouTube yesterday. It looks kind of interesting!

Looking at the Ork team, I'd love to convert some into boyz/nobz... turn the guy throwing the pigskin into an ork throwing a squig

It almost looks like a mini-Castellan, doesn’t it?
I think it might be a ‘modern’ 40k interpretation of a Thallax… which is awesome.
