Honestly. I'm unlikely to make it that far. I love Hansa and think he's a solid writer- but this book is... honestly not a great experience.

I think it's time to "send Tara to Northwind."
"People should know when they're conquered."
"Would you, Quintus? Would I?"

Self determinism is a lie! Embrace your occupiers! Lol
Tara Campbell is the embodiment of a self-righteous traitor in almost any sense of the word. A collaberator and a pitiful one at that. I've still got like, a ton of this book to chew through, but the opening has not made me in any way sympathetic to her cause or motivations.
Tara Campbell trying to scold someone who was resisting Clan occupation on Terra for stealing food so they could eat and keep up the fight against the occupiers was definitely something so far in the Long Road. All while she's brutally taken them down in the name of her new Clan Masters.
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
We did it everyone!
40,000 subscribers. So I guess I'm Big-Red-40K again, at least as far as Youtube Subscribers goes. I guess I am the 40k now? If only for a little while I suppose.
Thank you all for the support. I'll always appreciate it.

This is the reason the stock market is completely disconnected from the real economy.
So can I. A mech-flamer will fix that problem real fast. lol
Astrid is a treacherous witch who should experience only the worst things until her existence comes to an end.
Great character! And a super fun book. People should check out both Star Crossed Warriors and the new "A Plague on Rasalhague".

I believe wholeheartedly that you should be reading this...
Lot's of new stuff added to the Storefront.
It's a great way to help a guy in desperate need of paying $1000s of dollars in medical bills.. and getting yourself some swag of my art, at the same time. And if I get back up to Gen or Adepticon, will be happy to sign.

The #Locust video dropped today.
So here is the artwork from it, by Jayden Morris. :)
Just a spectacular piece. Jayden's also done 2 Grand Titan pieces for me, as well as a Marauder IIC one. I'm also getting him to do the main piece for the #Wraith video.

You'll notice that the BLR and TDR also are only a little longer. The reason why is the mechs that are "Generic" really are... uhhh, generic.
At least with the TDR I could lean into some Capellan stuff early on. The Locust is great- it's just... everyone uses it. So there is less to lean into.

The #Locust is here!
Just going live now. See you all there!

I am not hyped for this.
Tomorrow I'm going to have @swankmotron.com on to talk spoilers about A Plague on Rasalhague and maybe a bit more of a thorough discussion of Star Crossed Warriors while we're at it.
Should be a lot of fun.
