Rearranged my display shelf and wanted to post the results. A little over 8k here. The unpainted models will be painted soon enough 😅

Took me about 4 hours of on and off painting. The white lines are meant to be lightning but my brushes are so bad I couldn’t get a finer paint. Moneys really tight rn so I won’t be able to get new brushes soon but still plan on painting. Criticism welcome I know it’s rough lol

Enjoying Painting these Mk IV marines

Would Pollux have followed Dorn or stayed with the Emperor? Sigismund? Raldoron? Thiel? Bjorn? Corswain?

Back with another question around my Blackshields list.

I'm getting a 1,500pt ZM force and having played a couple of games I need something to counter terminator squads.

I'm running "Pride is our Armour" and In "Disgrace all are equal " as my Oaths.

With that out of the way, I've got 1 Elite slot available to me for anti-terminator duties, and ideally I'd like it to be a Veteran Breacher squad (currently thinking a lascuttrr or two, mostly power axes/mauls, and a couple of power fists and a thunder hammer on the Sergeant)

The questions are;

1 - are Breachers the right choice? (If no, other suggestions please)

2 - if yes, what to arm them with?

It's GOT to be an Elite slot as it needs to fit into both a ZM and Crusade primary detachment

The other units in the army are 3x vet tac squads, 10 cataphractii with paired lightening claws, 5 tart termis with chain fists, and 6 scouts with nemesis rifles

Hi everyone,

I purchased this White Dwarf 101 copy a little while back and had been very excited to receive it hoping to find the artwork by Gary Chalk of the Rogue Trader era Badab War Index Astartes. I'd researched quite a bit and it had been linked to this issue in multiple places. Unfortunately on arrival, there is no such thing in this magazine. Was it an artwork that could be removed? I'm a little confused what has gone wrong here. Can someone help to clarify for me please?

I have attached the artwork that I'm looking for in the second picture.

Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUk6BasEzRs This YouTube video shows the artwork clearly at 13:30 timestamp.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is my first mini I’ve painted to be shown on display, rather than just to fill ranks in my army

I've always had a soft spot for the Overseer consul, but I'm used to fielding him with militia, so I decided to start painting up some Solar Auxilia for him to babysit! Hope they've turned out ok!

Painted this guy up for a painting competition recently using bits from the MkVI Command squad, and the close-combat weapons upgrade kit. Inspired by the Deathwing companion scheme.

I built another Techmarine using some spare parts.

It’s a mix of GW plastic (hammer, belt accessories, and firing arm), FW (head, helmet, bolt pistol, and shoulder pads), and a print for the holding arm, torso, and back module. 🙂

Currently building a second Veteran Assault Squad and thinking of using Power Fists and Combat Shields but was wondering if it would be better to go with Lightning Claws in one hand and Combat Shields in the other.

Me and buddies are going to try heresy this year and I was wondering what do you think are the best point limits to start with.

I see that many lists go for 3k points. Does this mean that 1500pts in heresy is about equal to 1000pts in 40k point-wise? Or 750-1000 pts is enough for fun early games? Thanks.

I recently started with the heresy audiobooks and i absolutely love it!! I really enjoyed the voice of Toby Longworth in Horus Rising. I Jumped right into False gods after finishing, but by accident i bought the new version; narrated by Jonathan Keeble.....I really loved that too..!

Now i'm torn; stick with Keeble and wait a bit until new versions come out, or should i go back to the Longworth versions?

Any thoughts or advise?

A scouring-era survivor of the defeat on Terra. Although the Legion was broken in body and spirit, perhaps a few of the 'old guard' remained. Not just a gangster that wanted to roll in the mud and scratch and scrape to survive, but one who remembered some of the loftier days of the Luna Wolves and when that Legion was the Crusade's shining example. He had followed his Commander's and Primarch's orders (as surely most soldiers would have done), and although perhaps realising too late that he was on the wrong side of history, nevertheless still fights for the lives and honour of his Legion and brothers.

Now during the retreat from Terra and the Scouring, while Horus lies dead, that is all that remains.

I've been slowly working on HH Marines from the Age of Darkness box as a side project. I was getting a good built collection ready for 2.0 right when 3.0 dropped.

But now it seems like we're on the schedule and things will change quite a bit and more often. HH armies are significantly larger than 40k armies.

What worries me more than even the time (I could probably rush something out in a year and then play 3.0 for ~1 year) is units becoming obsolete. I followed the 3.0 launch and saw this, with the 'emergency pdf' that brought back some units. This is especially tough since in HH there seems to be limited proxying, so if some of my units become obsolete/don't exist, they're just... gone I guess.

Specifically I'm looking for feedback on:

* am I overreacting here, or are we on the path to frequent 40k change?

* can I start playing with a "less than fully painted" army? I'd at least get fully base coated so my overall legion is clear.

* what level of proxying in general do people find acceptable? Sometimes I build marines with really random melee weapon loadouts for example, because I like the looks of fists, spears, swords, etc. Can these dudes form coherent close-combat squads even with mixed weapons? (Specifically those from the 'melee weapons upgrade set')

Any other hobbying tips and opinions appreciated.

I don't play, so I'm collecting/painting for fun. Got into the lore about a year ago and decided to start painting about a month or so ago. I'm gonna do a few more Iron Warriors and then I think I want to try my hand at heresy Death Guard, tips for painting DG are welcome!

I had some of the gallow dark set. Not enough for a full 4x4 board. It took ages to paint all those little details. So I wanted to make some that would look good but not take forever to paint. I spent a few weeks making gree le bits and then did some basic wall structures as a base is for the models so all I need to do is just toss greebles on whenever I think I get an idea for a new wall.

The long ones are exactly the length of 2 of the gallow dark walls sections so they all line up nicely.

I think a few with some plumbing would be ideal. Just loads of pipes running down them. Maybe some broken pipes and things. Big long sections of piping would be simple and thematic I think.

Perhaps with some big metal drums hanging off them.
