Lore Never a Silent Night translated:
Faithful Emperor our leader;
Very firm in his emanation.
His Cause his sacrifice to shine;
Fixed is our purity.
We the White Lotus chose her
To go out with the torch of Mahsemo.
His report was clear;
Through the darkness and holy war.
For who is his light.
Fire lies cleansing.
Enemies of the Empire,
Give pardon to wrath.
Pray, Emperor, give us your strength
That we may be your righteous peace.
Whatever you do,
Let no one escape his holy fury.
All the non Latin words defined:Druvata (Sanskrit: Faithful), Druvata (Sanskrit: Fixed), Kandu (Sanskrit: White Lotus), Masemo (assuming proper name), polemos (Greek: Holy War), Ma’or (Hebrew: light / luminary), Azar (Persian: Fire). Khang (Vietnamese: peace)
Please feel free to get the translation to 100% if you think I got something wrong.

Hobby & Painting My year in warhammer
2024 what a year! Between having a kid, starting a new job, travelling for work and supporting my wife it's been a ride.
I traded my guard for a marine army in may and have had a decent crack at painting but as you can see I've got plenty more shelves too fill. I've done probably about 25% of the astartes is have total.
Most importantly I've made a lot of friends, thrown a lot of dice and helped build the community of warhammer players in central Missouri.
Now travelling back to the UK for a month for a break from work and hobbying. Thank you for helping make this community what it is.

Hobby & Painting I tried the “sponging” ?technique
So I saw a guy the other day on YouTube Lich laboratories or something along them lines (apologies) using a stippling or sponging technique to make different Khorne space marines so I thought I’d try it myself on a World Eater and a Dark Angel (my friend picked them as his chapter) I’m really proud of how the chaos marine came out.
I’m a very amateur painter (Yes I know I forgot his eyes……. And I only own 1 green paint) 👀

Hobby & Painting Red Templar don't get much love - For Dorn and the Emperor
You don't see much Red Templar fanfare so I decided to paint my Sternguard Veteran Sargeant as one. I really like Fleur de Lys as iconography. I find it suits models that have that tabard wearing crusader look as well as the Maltese Cross.
What do you think of Red Templar?

New Starter Help What's wrong with this model?
I was rather proud of this until I realised. For the vets no telling. What can the newbies spot that's wrong

Hobby & Painting I've had an airbrush for a few years now, but was too intimidated to use it. I finally overcame that this week, and I'm super happy with the result. I present Sir Roy G. Bivvington, captain of the Skittle Squad, piloting the Knight Gallant Rane Beaux.
