New platform means a chance for an introduction! Hi I’m Brian and a paint somewhat quickly
Here’s 4 of my favourite projects- my whole marine chapter, 24 hour Nighthaunt, ogors for armies on parade + a 24 hour worldeaters army!
Currently trying to complete 10,000 models in 10 years- only 154 to go!
