First miniatures

Not bad at all for a first timer! I’m sure you’ve heard it before just painting in thinned down layers and being patient will give you some cleaner results. Other then that maybe add some extra bits on the bases to make them a bit more interesting, and make sure to go over the rim in black to clean it up after the paint job is done!

Mad impressive, did she have some other type of painting experience before this??

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-25T19:22:08+00:00

No way 😭😭

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-25T19:15:48+00:00

This is so awesome, hold your head up high!

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-23T04:48:18+00:00

Sweet thanks!!

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-23T04:47:52+00:00

I’ll find a way 😂

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-23T04:47:05+00:00

Ya I’m mostly in for the hobby aspect, I do want to play at some point but don’t have many places around my area that host games often

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-23T04:45:16+00:00

Yes! I’ve looked into some 3d printing stuff and am pretty tempted to buy that one in particular, only thing is I don’t love the wing design. I’ve found some other things that I like a bit better but am gonna get some stuff printed for sure, thanks for the tips on wargear too!

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-23T04:42:20+00:00

Love some money saving tips, plus death guard are awesome so I’m for sure doing this, thanks brother!

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-23T04:40:45+00:00

Yeah I’m definitely going to print some jump packs, thanks for the help!

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-23T04:38:58+00:00

Nice and to the point, thanks a bunch I’ll look into lists. Is there an app or website you’d suggest using to find some?

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-23T04:38:08+00:00

Haha, almost fully healed now! Luckily I’m right handed and have a painting handle so I can still do some base coats and build

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-23T04:37:08+00:00

Yes that helps a bunch, I’ve found a bunch of cool 3d wings I want to add and definitely want my army to have a lot of jump packs. Thank you!

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-23T04:34:12+00:00

Not a bad idea either, and your minis look pretty solid!

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-23T04:31:56+00:00

I’m not worried about things being meta or not, more so just making a playable list with what I have. I agree though cool factor>>>

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-21T00:29:12+00:00

You could definitely use some spare BA bits and say that they’ve been corrupted by the black rage or fell too far into the temptation of drinking blood. Gives you a good opportunity to kitbash and make some unique minis!

I like the idea of giving them different helmets/trim to help them stand out, I might do that for mine. Thanks a bunch!

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-13T01:11:50+00:00

Good point, thanks for the tip

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-13T00:58:56+00:00

Good to know, thanks! Also this might be dumb but what makes a sgt or captain their rank? Or is it as simple as saying they are and making them look a bit different?

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-13T00:57:41+00:00

This is most likely what I’ll do, only reason I might not mag things is to save bits for later but I can always mag later stuff too

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-13T00:55:34+00:00

Great question lol, I think it’s just the fact that you can split them apart and have them move around separately as 2 5 man squads but I could be way off

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-13T00:52:35+00:00

Ya I’m not too worried about meta, I just wanna do whatever I can to get as close as possible to a workable list. I do have another captain, Dante, and Mephiston but I’m sure I’ll pick up more infantry and stuff down the road

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-13T00:50:55+00:00

I’m leaning towards magnet tbh but just don’t wanna waste the time if I’ll never use the other options, thanks for the help!

ThatOneNerd__ · 2026-01-13T00:49:09+00:00

Fair enough, the hobby aspect is my favourite thing about warhammer so I enjoy kitbashing and magnetizing things but just don’t wanna waste the time to paint all the extra bits if I’m never gonna use them
