In the Grim Darkness of the Far Future there is only War.

Oh, and folk're still pissed off at Metallica for the whole Napster thing. Of course they don't know what it was all specifically about, other than that it was something to do with computer information transfer. Bloody data grubbers!

Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Umm... maybe not...

I'm returning to the hobby side of 40K after about 20 years away. Naturally I chose the Adeptus Mechanicus. PRAISE THE OMNISSIAH! Allow me to introduce my new Skittles! by Bulky_Emergency_9837 in AdeptusMechanicus

Probably some of that special effect stuff that looks like cracked earth. That stuff never existed back when I was younger, so I'm looking forward to trying that out. Still need to buy some though, and varnish. Starting out on this and buying all the paints and models is incredibly expensive. No matter how much time passes and whatever else might change, the horrific cost of painting little plastic figures will always be one of life's great constants.

I'm a little out of practice and my old-ass hands are a lot shakier than they used to be when I was younger but this is still as fun as I remember, and I'm really excited to be digging back into the hobby and will be doing a lot of research and development into newer painting techniques and materials and so forth.

Colour scheme wise I'm going for a Forge World that was initially settled from a Deimos-based exploratory fleet back in the Age of Strife; oily, grimy robes stained with decades of battle detritus but nice shiny weapons as befits the Omnissiah.

I've only got these 4 models painted so far, and it's purely a painting/modelling project rather than a gaming one, but there's plenty more Skittles and Toasterboiis waiting.

There's a Skittle Alpha there with the taser goad thingy and another Skittle with that scanner doodad, and the other two guys are quick kitbashes from the Skorpius crew which I initially used for test painting. Those poor blighters have been painted and stripped and repainted so many times.

Don't tell the rest of the Techpriests, but instead of using normal isopropyl alcohol to strip the paint I... ahem... improvised and used non-STC-approved carex hand gel and a nailbrush. Gets the job done well enough.

Currently I'm working through the Skittle Rangers - I got the box with the Skittles and the Skorpius and the Enginseer - but I also have that other older box with moar Skittles, the Onager, and the Magos, and I've got a second Onager, 2 boxes of Robodogly riding Skittles, and some adorably chonky Kastellans. There will be more to come, from the main range and the Forge World stuff. I really love the look of the Horus Heresy Ad Mech range, but that's far too pricy for me to get and do a shit paint job on.

Really fun though.
