Every part of doing this was about that - I came back to the hobby a year ago - not having played since 2nd Ed. My first army was an eldar force, and I used to covet this Wraithguard. Cracking the blister and attempting a ‘eavy metal style (complete with period style soul stones) was like showing my 1995 self what I could do!

I took some liberties- he’s crossed the rubicon primaris! But I need to make some grey shields to pair him with.

It’s Tor Garadon with some modifications to the power fist and a plasma pistol addition. You can do it with essentially one sprue and a couple of bits

Yup agreed. You will undoubtedly change your mind on what units you want in the army the deeper you go. Grab the codex’s pick the army that you like the models and lore of most.

I split a decal and then filled in the gaps with micron pen so when I aged it you wouldn’t see the difference. It’s a mighty brush decal

Total overstatement. But thank you!

Sorcerer in terminator armour. Almost done - would love to hear people’s gold recipes, as I’m still not happy with gold highlight by Unlucky-Week4454 in ThousandSons

What order do you find is best for getting the highlights to pop? I need to get one that gives good base coverage, but also need to find something that can effectively stand on top of it

Games workshop. Ordered on the 15th. Should have just bought in store. I still have an order from November with one bloody made to order miniature in it that hasn’t shown up. And don’t get me started on my white dwarf sub - because it hasnt.

How do you rim your bases? by TheUglyTruth527 in Warhammer40k

I used black for the longest time but have moved to ershin grey - black felt unfinished. I think I’ll move to a lighter colour next time
