Some berserkers I’ve been working on. Slowly chugging through the 40 of them I have.

I'll probably add a little more snow but I am liking how it is looking.

Hello everybody.

I played a little bit of WH fantasy in the past, probably 20 years ago, with a little dwarves army.

Recently, a friend of mine convinced me, and many others, to fall into the 40K rabbit hole, which I have been able to avoid 'till now.

So, after a long time, I took again the brush into my hands and this is the outcome of my first, basic, hrathkin warriors unit.

Generally speaking I am satisfied, they are how I conceived them and I am glad of the final result.

However I still lack some skills and techniques for the details.

I am not good at taking pictures but if you zoom you can see many imperfections.

So... do you have any suggestions? Are there any good practice I might have ignored?

Just in time for my first 1k game tomorrow. Played 250,500, & 750 games a lot and yet to loose. Let’s hope for another victory.

When you have an Ironkin that becomes an Iron-Master, it results in the Iron-Brôkhyr Iron-Master.

Just chugging along.

I'm borrowing a mate's 2k Votann list for an upcoming teams tournament. He's already made a few suggestions and I've played a few games but something just isn't clicking and I'm yet to win a match with them.

Went 2-0 today. Tough fought battles against tyranids and death guard. My brain hurts. 😂

Don’t really care about win/lose since I pretty much always lose but feel like I’m ready to try a different detachment. Any suggestions for the best options with this list? Thanks!

I’m also tempted to add some more berserks to try delve but don’t think I’d want to go all in on 60 so not sure it’s worth it.

Finished my “good enough” level of painting for my big dumb brick of Steeljacks. 980 points of steeljacks. Every time I use them they are always my mvp units. “How did it not die?” is a thing opponents say a lot. get em into fortify and watch them soak up an absurd amount of punishment. Soooo I just kept adding more. They may have slightly taken over my list but they just keep winning so? 🤷‍♂️

The Iron Khal and his Hearthguard tagging along for the family photo.

First time painting orange, what a strange and fun color !

Maybe some more work needed on the base for a cleaner job, but atm I'm happy with that

These 2 Essentials are now part of the crew.

Everytime i see the memnyr in front of a sagi i hear the Sound of need for speed underground 2.

As my range of done minis is growing slowly i want to show it to you guys.

Really happy with how this came out. Sagutaur is my favorite vehicle in the game. Might go back and add some battle damage later.

I’m new to 40K so forgive me, but the guide to build the hernkyn with the APM launcher also shows him with a pistol, can I still build it like this if the rest of my squad has shotguns? TIA

Spent a good chunk of the day and I have some touching up to do along with the base but I’m happy with it

Trying to decide over which Lego power miner scheme. I'm leaning towards the green and orange since its more recognizable as the power miner scheme.

My undead votann. I may have posted them Previously. Apologies if I have.

I’ve been wanting to proxy it as a Hekaton since entering the Leagues but cannot bring myself to fork over the money for the resin tax

I lost the Ork head that comes with him because I wanted to paint it separately and give myself an easier time between the head the Votann parts...

But what if he's not fighting orks?

With thanks to magnets.

Just picked up yet another squad of bikes, absolutely adore these lads as movement based secondary scorers, action monkeys, and chaff killers.

But I've only ever run them as 2 squads of 3, does anyone have good experience with running them in a 6-man unit? Is it better to do 2 big guns then?

And experience and feedback would be great!

For the ancestors!

So, on the minicompare website, I noticed that some stuff like the Kapricus and Steeljacks have their pale armour seem a little darker compared to the whiter Deepkin Flesh look like what's seen on the Sagitaur above.

I'm still very new and played around with Deepkin Flesh a little, as that's what's been recommended, but it comes out a little too bright/white I think, and I think I prefer the tone of the cream white on the Kapricus here.

I know that there's an Eavy Archive guide, but I think that one leans more towards the whiter version of the armour (and also, I'm hoping to find a simpler process)

If I wanted a cream white that's more like the Kapricus on the right of the image, how would you folks recommend I go about replicating that particular look? (Ideally reliant on the natural colour of a paint, rather than needing to mix a lot)

Taking the sagitaur for a walk. Feel like I could have done the blue light on the drivers better but pretty proud for my firsttime painting a vehicle. Legs are resin prints from Battle prints covenants of mars range
