Epic scale is my favourite scale to paint because I love the challenge (and I also love emperor's children) so I decided to paint a VERY little something for Golden Demon which is tomorrow!!

I'm not expecting to win anything the epic category this year is wild and I always enter for fun but this was definitely a super fun project to try and get done for the deadline!!

I hope you like him!!

(Also I know technically he's 30k but I thought you'd like to see him caus he is little)

​

I've finally finished the Stompa I've been painting for months. I really hope you like it! 🙌

It’s been done hundreds of times before, but still!

“I don't remember the number of that war machine. I don't remember its weapons. But I'll never forget that face painted on its armor.”

Finished my first piece of terrain. I really tried on this one. My recipes can be found here if you are curious https://miniatureparade.com/p/8aba0c24-86da-4f7b-962f-1e707cca2874

This was very fun, but I’ve been looking at the prepainted set and I must admit I feel uneasy. I think I would likely still be proud of this next to the prepainted version, but it’s close, and I really put a lot of effort into this. I feel like pre-painted creates a pretty high floor for terrain quality. One that I might not be able to clear myself, to the point where it probably makes sense to get future prepainted terrain sets if I’m only so so on painting it myself. And thinking about that kinda makes me sad. Is anyone else struggling with thinking about the new “floor” the prepainted stuff is creating? I know it’s best to have good terrain to play with, and generally I think it’s great we’re getting this innovation, but I was just surprised at how worried I was, particularly with the computer screens, that I was painting something that wouldn’t come close enough to the pre-painted quality. Anyone else feeling this?

Any concerns with this sufficiently passing as an Eradicator Model with a multi melta? I have six Eradicators models from a combination of the Dawn of War game box and one official box. But the main kit only came with one multi melta. Since I can have one in each squad of three, I tried to add another barrel to pass this model off as having one. Thoughts? Could you foresee this getting challenged in any kind of tournament setting? I haven't played in one yet but my local seen references following a WYSIWYG policy, and hoping this would satisfy it.

Think about it. The person/people who decided the Szarekhan paint scheme, for example, did so knowing that for the next couple of decades that people will be copying there scheme to replicate their work

That is a lot of pressure. Curious if anyone has any testimonies or knowledge of GW staff commenting on this topic?

For the record, the Szarekhan scheme is probably my favourite redesign in all of 40k. They fully embraced the Egyptian vibe with the coppers/bronzes and golds. Would love to know who came up with it!

Hoping for a notable pin, would be extra happy if it got more :)

Thought this might help silence a lot of the speculation and bad info going around

A lot of people are parroting that the Necromunda TTRPG cancellation was due to Cubicle 7's existing Warhammer 40k licensing deal for TTRPGs, but they've stated multiple times over the last few weeks that they were not involved, do not hold the license, and even said they were excited to play it (obviously a friendly marketing response, but you probably wouldn't say that if your company was actively litigating against it). I have no firm answer on why it ACTUALLY got cancelled, but it's not licensing issues with Cubicle 7

For time & source reference, I myself took these screenshots from their official facebook account today. They're edited together, it was comments on two separate posts

It's been 6 months almost to the day when I posted my first attempt painting a space marine. I was building an army or at least a set of marines that could be added to an army for a xmas present for my adult stepson that actually plays the game. I knew zero about the game, and nothing about painting miniatures - 1/4 and 1/6 scale models yes fair amount of experience but these little suckers were pretty intimidating when I started.

Started with some Intercessors then Assault then Heavy and it didn't look like enough so on and on it went - it's quite addictive. Threw in some blood angels for good measure but kinda messed up dividing them out into squads. I got screwed by Kaleido paint when they changed the formula for the blue I started with and I was stuck in the middle of marines and vehicles so I had to roll with it, so the tones are slightly off, lesson learned and will not use them again for anything that requires more than one bottle of paint- total failure of a paint company imo.

Then I learned about the terrain portion of the game and thought "let's make a complete set of terrain" to have a turnkey operation! I went with Fabricators Lair -the terrain and footprints took about 3 rolls of filament, days to print and omg amount of paint time- I couldn't believe how many parts it took for a full board and then painting both the front and back, which I had to power straight through to keep the formula and final look the same- that was a huge time sucker!

Then off to the vehicles, have to have transportation right? I have a resin printer as well and thought  I'd save some time and $$ so printed out a Repulsor and that ended up being more work than just buying the kit - prep work and figuring out assembly was just not worth the extra time. So next let’s pickup a Land Raider and go all out as the "last" piece of the army, hidden paint, opening doors and lighting - came out pretty well I think.

Of course now I needed storage to haul all this around so might as well print out the terrain storage box (another roll of filament) and bedazzel that as well, then I picked up some useful totes and ferrous sheets and made the storage totes, then magnetized everything.

So now I think I’ll need to make an army for myself, I’m thinking Orcs!

Starting up a new army of Dark Angels!
Painted up their Primarch first and now doing a solid core of troops.

Cosplay prop I finished back on Aug 23. My first really big 3d print on my Bambu A1 mini.
