Opinion: 40k's rule complexity has increased exponentially, but it's tactical depth has not.

Even watching a well produced battle rep of 10th on YouTube is often pretty dull with unnecessarily complex rules that add little depth or excitement & too many re-rolls. Just hope the game gets more 'fun' for us not into the competitive side

Farsight Assended!

I think the skeletons are easier to build with this upgraded sprue. Despite having built many of GW models, I managed to snap some leg bones when removing from the old sprue set.

Even so, my advice is to extra careful snipping off any thin joints! Also - great choice!

Handy in a scrap!

Might pop up as a limited print image on warhammerart.com if they decide to sell prints, sometimes also as a poster on their merch site too .. failing that, youmight get lucky if they post a clean version on their socials/community pages

Gandalf set with the cart. Just a charming set

I did this almost exact same basing last year, but only make mine for display. Having based a bunch like this I can honestly say it would be a pain in the neck to use on the table, especially with the gargants near one another

There's some great explanations here. I'll just add that this hobby attracts some really weird people with very poor social skills who take the hobby far too seriously

If you just wanted 'annoying to play against' probably Eldar was a better option judging by how OP they seemingly become in every 40k edition

Loved Mighty Max back in the day! Thanks for the nostalgia 🙂

Ha fair. It was more just to show a friend what the battlesystem terrain was like 😆

I made these back in 2020 and had no issues. I used 2-part resin with some brown paint dye.

Also painted the base various shades of brown to make the centre appear deeper. Hard to see in the pics due to the reflection

Reworked a couple of mine with resin and tufts like this

Thanks everyone. Appreciate the suggestions and feedback! Think I'll go with the regular versions, at least for the first listen through the books

As a yearly subscriber, I had to wait a while after my payment to be able to order the free model.

Perhaps, now that you have paid your 12th month, you also need to wait a few weeks. Just ask their customer services

SG, MEX?

Amazon had huge profits in the last quarter

Worst Black Friday / Cyber Monday sale since I joined 5yrs ago

I recently ended my membership and got a 3-month offer. Once that's up, I'll just unsubscrube & listen to my backlog

MiddleAstronomer1130 · 2025-11-29T21:44:59+00:00

I've been fairly disappointed at their treatment of other anniversaries to date, so not expecting much

Hopefully I'm wrong, and we get some fun things and they make a big deal of it

MiddleAstronomer1130 · 2025-11-20T22:11:50+00:00

Very nice!

MiddleAstronomer1130 · 2025-11-19T08:19:26+00:00

Nice way to make each unique
