Hey, you. Listen to or read @noahvannguyen.bsky.social's Elemental Council if you haven't already. Now. Yours sincerely, Me.
@saalaksin.bsky.social thanks for the reminder (Scrambles into vestments) "I, Noah Van Nguyen, do hereby promote this novel!" www.warhammer.com/en-WW/shop/b... (Children strike Chinese gong) (Crowd of thousands shudders in spiritual ecstasy) (Slaughter begins) (Blood for the Blood God) 🩸⚒️
Oh. Hey. @noahvannguyen.bsky.social 's "Blood of the Godeater" is out. "Godeater's Son" is fantastic and a great start to reading the AoS books, so I'm legitmitately excited for the sequel. You, yes you, dear person who just had this cross their timeline, should buy "Blood of the Godeater". Please.
blog.warcradle.com/blog/a-dysto... Dystopian Age is a great setting. There's enough (GOOD) material here to scratch all the alt history itches. Perfect mix of steampunk and Weird fiction vibes. (Plus a chance to work with @warlordguymer.bsky.social !!)
I can't get over this cover man. My boy Heldanarr over here just aura farming. I'm excited to get to talk about this now. Hope everyone enjoys it! www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

Incredibly excited to see Heldanarr Fall return in Blood of the Godeater by @noahvannguyen.bsky.social . Can’t wait to see how he continues along the Path. #WarhammerCommunity www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...
@mmm0pan.bsky.social totally not rude my friend, I'm so glad you shared! I've seen your sketches btw, me and my editor geeked out over them together :) I've actually been rereading this while caring for my mother after her stroke. It's been lonely and hard, so this was right on time. Thank you :)
rough-ish doodles of Aun'ui Yor'i from Elemental Council by @noahvannguyen.bsky.social... big fan of this cool guy apologies if tagging like this is rude, I drew these months ago and had to gather much courage to post this 🥹 love how vividly his clothes are described.. #warhammer40k #art #wh40k

Spent way too much time writing this. But darn if I don't enjoy it! www.thelingualfantast.com/post/the-ide...
One of my deathbed memories will surely be our discussion about the similarities between 40k and life in Hong Kong And great time to mention I'm on a Necron spree — "Infinite and the Divine" is next on my list 🎯 (Just finished Severed by @frogcroakley.bsky.social and WOW. I'm spoiling myself.)
The best direct flight to HK I could put my family on left from NY, so I did seven hours of driving today, some in rush hour traffic… …and had a *good-ass time* doing it, because it meant I could listen to the climax of ELEMENTAL COUNCIL by @noahvannguyen.bsky.social Y’all read this book? Read it!
@heretical-hatter.bsky.social This is incredible. I see your older version too. I can absolutely imagine different members in the intelligence cliques wearing their own caste's version, too. Fun fact, I spent a long time trying to figure out what to name the Hundred Eyes. My first draft had them...
@noahvannguyen.bsky.social Per my request - a great artist (Hayden Lumpkin) - with whom I work with for my Star Wars x Warhammer 40k crossover - created symbols for the Hundred Eyes. The organization YOU created. What do you think?
named after the Eastern Depot (www.britannica.com/topic/Easter...), if I recall correctly. And before that, when I was figuring out how to write about them, I had imagined them as all water caste. But I quickly realized that wouldn't make sense or offer enough utility, which modern intel services...
demonstrate pretty well. Hopefully I'll be able to provide a closer look of what the Hundred Eyes look like when they're in action :) I'll be *so* thrilled if they ever make it to the light of the codex. @heretical-hatter.bsky.social — thank you and Hayden for this, and for tagging me!!

These Black Library Goonhammer digests are quickly becoming a staple reading for me. So many good updates @theblacklibrarian.bsky.social ! In particular, the commentary on GW/BL's anti-scalping efforts is interesting. All businesses have to weigh risks and mitigations. This helps determine...

Thank you for asking @lumi-nee.bsky.social :) Gave me a reason to do long-awaited magnetizing. Back in 3rd ed. I chose the shadow grey color scheme they illustrated (maps pretty closely on to Sa'cea). I played around with it over some years. If I could redo it I would try and reproduce that camo!)
@lumi-nee.bsky.social This is so cool... (Aun Yor'i from Elemental Council) www.reddit.com/media?url=ht...

They say if you're good at something, never do it for free. Which is why I continue to write rambling fanfics :) www.thelingualfantast.com/post/the-ide...
Okay, so — holy moly. Is this song about Yndrasta done with AI? Whether it is or not, 'tis metal AF www.youtube.com/watch?v=APmn...
"Without the lore, what would Warhammer even be?" Really apt finding from @rosgakori.bsky.social's work in "the Psychgeist of Pop Culture – Warhammer" (playstorypress.org/books/the-ps...).
Yndrasta was a fun one to write. I have this monster story that I thought would be cool for her: a horror story in Sigmaron where she's hunting down a beast that chews up Stormcast for fun. Kind of like "Murder by Moonlight" turned on its head.
What a better place to read @noahvannguyen.bsky.social’s Yndrasta than on a train through Alaska? It feels right. #BlackLibrary #WarhammerCommunity
I was glad to see @mehdirhasan.bsky.social's debate on Jubilee for this. In the post-interview clip you could really tell that the event was eye-opening for some of the attendees who realized who they were in politically bed with.
Okay, but they run our government. Seems like they completely own the debate right now, so someone actually needs to call them on how stupid and deplorable their ideas are to their faces in a public setting.
Thanks @dyslexicoedr.bsky.social !! Glad you enjoyed it
I finally finished reading 'Elemental Council' by @noahvannguyen.bsky.social and I got to say I loved it. It reminded me of a scifi version of a Vietnam War drama. Theres so much more to it than that, but thats the short sell. God, those characters will stick with me for a long time.
