Designers’ notes: creating the new Tomb Kings of Khemri miniatures - Warhammer Community

Keith: Much of the original Tomb Kings range was made a long time ago, using very different technology to what we have today. The original Skeleton Warriors, for example, combined the basic Warhammer skeletons of the time with a Tomb Kings upgrade sprue. This worked very well, but when we knew we were going to revisit the range, we wanted to really lean into the unique look of the faction established in the incredible art created for the old Warhammer Fantasy Battle army books. Ethan: We were all familiar with the Tomb Kings armies, not only from the miniatures, but also from the classic art, of which there was a lot, and all done by some very talented artists. They really captured the look and feel of the undead armies of Nehekhara, bringing them to life on the page in a way Nagash himself would surely be envious of! Much like the recent Royal Heralds and Liche Priests kits, we wanted to update the classic models and capture the true character of the Tomb Kings. Dan: We were also mindful that Tomb Kings of Khemri armies can include lots of models, with units like Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Archers, for example, often being fairly large.

I Just Learned What The First Chimp In Space Did While He Was Up There, And What Was Up His Rectum

My friend and longtime collaborator Carrie McLaren, who I’ve been working with since the ’90s ‘zine boom, has a new physical ‘zine she’s writing and publishing called Ape Shit, which focuses on, you know, monkeys and apes and non-human primates, and how we humans interact with them. It’s interesting stuff, and I’m excited to help out with the next issue by writing about Ham, the first chimpanzee in space. I actually met Ham when I was a kid, at the Asheboro Zoo in North Carolina. I think he’s the only astronaut I’ve actually met? Definitely the most hirsute.

Polestar tries to quantify what it’s like to drive a performance car

Drivers had electrodes strapped to their heads as they tested EVs on track. The human desire to go fast is old, dating back at least as far as the first time some adventurous Yamnaya saw a horse on the Pontic-Caspian steppe and thought, “I bet if I jumped on that thing’s back, it would be faster than walking.”

Space Rider Test Model Lost Following Failed Drop Test - European Spaceflight

A full-scale drop test of the European Space Agency’s Space Rider spaceplane ended abruptly after the test model’s parafoil failed to deploy as expected. This marks the second time this year that a Space Rider drop test has been interrupted by an anomaly, following an aborted attempt in May. The incident occurred during the vehicle’s final system-level drop-test campaign, conducted earlier this month. According to ESA, an anomaly occurred during the deployment of the test model’s parafoil, which would have allowed it to glide safely to the designated landing area.

Gold weaker, silver mixed as weak housing data offsets rising oil prices - Kitco AM Report - Kitco

(Kitco NewsWire) – Spot gold prices were lower and spot silver prices were volatile in early U. S. trading Tuesday, as weaker-than-expected housing activity highlighted the impact of elevated borrowing costs on the U. S. economy, while rising crude oil prices and persistent inflation continued to support expectations for additional Federal Reserve tightening. The latest housing figures provided some counterweight to the inflation concerns weighing on precious metals, although renewed tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz limited the scope for interest rate relief. In early morning trading, spot gold was near $4,120.10 an ounce, down 0.48%, while spot silver was near $57.210, up 0.42%. U. S. housing construction weakened in September, adding to evidence that elevated mortgage rates are restraining residential investment. Housing starts fell 5.2% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.221 million units, compared with an upwardly revised 1.288 million in August. Starts were 7.4% below their year-earlier level.
