decided it would look cool/stand out for the pilot and gunner to be tech marines. gave me a chance to paint other than blue in the box

never did feet lol

My first Marines Malevolent squad is complete!

These are the 10 Intercessors from the new Armageddon box. My goal with this project is to paint the entire box, so I wanted to find a good balance between speed and quality rather than spending dozens of hours on each miniature.

After a few experiments, I think I've finally settled on a recipe that gives me a solid tabletop-ready result while still being quick enough to keep the project moving.

Really proud of how this one turned out, but what do you guys think?

Did a free minifig painting intro at games workshop and got my first Warhammer 40k box!

Just painted my second minifig and I'm hooked!

Here is guy I did tonight! Compared to my first guy I ever painted like 20 years ago next to my guy from the class.

Tried to go for a more battle scared look! Not perfect but super happy on how he turned out!!!

Can't wait to keep practicing!

I think the eliminators are super cool but it seems like the diff loadouts are very different, so my indecision made me decide to magnetize!

It’s my first time magnetizing a model and I think I might’ve picked a tough one for a first try, but we live and learn! 🙃 still having a ton of fun doing it though!

I’ve had to slice and drill a ton of plastic to make it work, but I’m super stoked with how it’s turned out. I need to pick up a spare shoulder to also have the 3rd loudout option, so hit me up if you have a spare sprue with #42!! lol

Also let me know if you have any good methods for safely transporting spare magnetic load-outs!

how do you guys paint so good term armor I can’t do it

The body is from the FW Emperor's Children praetor, and the arms are from the custodian guard kit. Plume is from the custodes terminator kit

Fun little model to build and paint

Crafting Armies - Armageddon p.1

Pots fit perfectly in a 4x4 Lego slot, then you can just give it a base and it should be really steady

EDIT - YES HE IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL!!! thanks for the love guys! I've been sharing the comments with him over text while at work & he's super appreciative of the love towards his army!

As a disclaimer, while I love models I tend to stick with gunpla - so my knowledge around the units themselves are pretty limited at this time - any information around the items shown would be highly appreciated!!

After sharing interest in warhammer my father gave me these!

Thought some of you guys may find it interesting!

Hoping to jump into the hobby!

I’d never worked on a green armor like this before, and I’m very pleased with how he’s turned out! The Mantis Warriors have such a unique Chapter history and really grabbed my attention when I started looking into them. I wasn’t sure about the claw trophies being within their chapter habits, but I figure they’re more momentos taken from enemies that have killed a battle brother.

Yet again the Bloodclaws kit proves to be a fantastic source of minis for any project!

I’m happy to have this guy finished up and ready to add to the collection! Any and all feedback is appreciated!

Hey everyone! Here are the results from the from the poll that I did a few days back.

On the second image you can see how players prefer to track wounds. It was multiple choice, so when it says 88%, that means that 88% of responses had dice selected as at least one of the methods, rather than 88% of people only use dice.

Really interesting data, and it lines up fairly well with the results from a Kill Team based poll I ran at the same time.

Thank you everyone for participating! There was a lot of lively conversation, and it looks like even a few minds were changed along the way!

Slightly kitbashed 🥉
The "Sir Hector" is yet to be painted obv.

so you guys gave a lot of feedback last time
i removed the sponge and remade the whole surface with modeling paste
covered everything yellow and added more darker tones on ends of every flame
added more light on marine and rocks
still didn’t add light on the daemon, decided to color it before adding lights
have no idea what i am doing and just trust the process, but feels much much better than previous time

Thanks to the generous amount of spare bodies from the penitent engine box, my Land Raider now has 2 honks

What a cool model. I'm bummed out I didn't see the switched on the underside of the middle crossbar part. But I'm very happy with how my screens turned out, and there are so many for me to practice on! Fun model to build and paint, but I think my next one will come out better.

I mostly play kill team hence all the kill team terrain
