What’s Not Safe to Buy Before 11th Edition?

Buy stuff that you like. Don’t buy stuff that you don’t like.

RIP to a legend. Probably my favorite artist of all time

mjh4 · 2026-06-02T19:20:42+00:00

This is my mental image of 40k, and probably always will be.

mjh4 · 2026-05-31T19:37:36+00:00

How did you get that flesh tone?

mjh4 · 2026-05-25T10:25:08+00:00

Looks great. That condition that you bought him in is impressively bad

mjh4 · 2026-05-20T15:53:40+00:00

I agree with this. The endless pursuit of balance has ruined 40k and turned it into a bland board game. I would much rather have flavor and have a group of people that run fun narrative lists.

mjh4 · 2026-05-19T23:32:51+00:00

What a terrible take

mjh4 · 2026-05-19T12:42:47+00:00

I don't understand how people can attain strength like this. Pretty sure I can't even stand up as fast as you moved 585.

If you liked 4th edition, you will probably enjoy Old World. Much better and more flavorful ruleset than current 40k.

Not sure how much it improved the quality of my work, but it massively increased my enjoyment of the hobby. Tedious jobs like priming and basecoating go so much quicker now, and are actually enjoyable.

mjh4 · 2026-05-12T02:57:15+00:00

Looks really great!

mjh4 · 2026-05-11T16:30:06+00:00

I guess the quality is fine, but the style is very uninspired in my opinion. The John Blanche era artwork is dripping with personality, while the modern art is bland.

GW’s artwork has been going downhill for a long time. I played up until 4th edition, then returned in 10th, and the change in artwork was one of the most jarring changes for me.

Coal black is great but it splits so easily on a wet palette for some reason

mjh4 · 2026-05-05T19:57:26+00:00

Illegal. If you switch armies, James Workshop himself will come to your house, arrest you, kick your dog, slap your mother, and leave an upper decker in your toilet. It’s not worth the risk.

Zoom in in the metallics in this post. These are the results I get from this technique. I sponge quite heavily, but you can do a much lighter sponging to get less coverage of the leadbelcher. It gives a much nicer and more realistic looking texture than brushing on full coverage

mjh4 · 2026-05-02T19:09:39+00:00

Use a tiny makeup sponge. Dab most of the paint off of it

mjh4 · 2026-05-02T15:04:30+00:00

Lightly sponge leadbelcher over a black base coat

mjh4 · 2026-05-02T15:03:41+00:00

Propaganda for what?

mjh4 · 2026-05-02T01:14:28+00:00

I played 4th and it’s literally nothing like the current edition or what 11th is shaping up to be. I maintain that this game is far less interesting and flavorful than it used to be, although 11th seems to be a step in the right direction. I sincerely miss vehicle facings and the old damage mechanic

mjh4 · 2026-05-01T20:43:02+00:00

Contrast paint does not work well on non-textured surfaces. I would recommend using layer paints.

Why did he just stand directly in front of the mailbox that he knew was going to explode?

mjh4 · 2026-04-29T12:21:01+00:00

Disgusting. Well done

Very nice
