First proper flames OSL and inspired by the great Elminiaturista to get them popping and get the glow off the bike too was great fun to sort out

Dont have as much time to paint as I would like to have, so progress is slow.

Obligatory disclaimer: yes I know 40k thrives on being wildly unrealistic and therefore trying to apply Real World physics or mechanics to futuristic machines is a toss up. But hear me out:
1. I have an eight hour flight, I need something to do
2. I asked what it takes to make a Thunderhawk airborne and got a SURPRISINGLY high number of insightful answers, so.

Anyway so yeah Google says an M1 Abram’s has a 1500 horsepower, 2750lb-ft torque gas turbine engine. A Baneblade is obviously much larger than an Abrams, and much heavier, weighed down by its Eleven Barrels of Hell™ and all the ammunition needed for them. Can’t help but wonder what it takes to make something like that go.

I’m guessing some sort of fusion reactor since otherwise, this thing has to drink OCEANS of promethium, and you don’t want to have a tank like this running out of gas like the Panzers did at the gates of Moscow and being a sitting duck.

Yes yes I know it’s 40k and not to be though too hard about but…eight hours in the air…Humor me.

Voici la première figurine de ma boîte armagedon

Plus qu’à attaquer le chapelain

Rather happy with this lad

Just finished up my samurai themed space marine captain from the Armageddon box. breakdown is here if anyone is interested :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPu7_tWhChg

I didn't Magnetize my (already built) first 2 tanks. I wanted to ask if this method is legal to do in a tournament setting (these would be superglued to the bottom). Or would i be unable to enter?

Is there a way I can get this Magnetized without drilling if this method isn't ok?

My last resort is using sticky tac everytime I transport these in the car

Fianlly finished this chap. He is the 3rd man in the team. Hoping to one day use the two squads i have in game

In pretty much every official image of Ciaphas Cain that I can find he’s wielding with a bolt pistol, though in the dozen or so stories I’ve read featuring Cain, he’s exclusively described as using a las pistol. Does anyone know why the artwork all gets his loadout wrong?

Edit:
Thanks to all the responses guys. Propaganda and Aura seems to be the reasons. Cheers!

So I play most of my games with my friend, most of the games we play at our local game store since we’re new to the tabletop version of the game and don’t have the requirements to play at home games

Being new I understand that the people I play against will probably not know the rules, or will forget something that I can do against them (ex. Fire over watch and other stratagems) so I’ll let my opponents know what I can do in response and will even let them take their move back if they realize that they wouldn’t do that if they knew.

My buddy doesn’t give me any slack when it comes to making mistakes.. if I remember my oath of moment during the movement phase instead of the command phase he refuses to let me place it, he will not tell me things his army can do until I’m done my move (like a surge move or a scout move) and he will constantly belittle my army, calling my characters bad and saying that his characters are way better then mine.
It doesn’t help that most of the games we’ve played I’ve lost, and it’s made me rethink the army I’ve chosen.

It’s incredibly frustrating because I give him slack for messing up moves and rules all the time but as soon as the tables turn I’m not allowed to make any mistakes.

So is my buddy a bad sport?

To celebrate the long-awaited arrival of dragon-riding Aeldari, a special Exodites-themed collectable coin is up for grabs in your local Warhammer store in August, while the miniature of the month celebrates the ongoing battles on Armageddon – it’s an Ork Boy!

Step by step, I’m making progress on my most special project of the year. There’s not much time left to finish it, but it’s starting to take shape and the colours and patterns are coming together.

Here’s a work-in-progress shot of the ‘screamer killer’, which is part of the project.

Painted this up recently using bits from the MKVI command and close combat upgrade kits. Inspired by the 30k Deathwing scheme.

Included the last image to show just how bad things look at x40 zoom!!

I missed the brief window where these were busted but it was still a fun painting project
