Trench Crusade revealed their first-ever plastic set the other day—the Prussian Stosstruppen Warband.
Luckily, our offices are loaded with avid Trench Heads, & the urge to put paint to plastic was too hard to resist.
Set your lookout to keep watch for a painting tutorial, crusading your way soon!

I just wanted to find out what could work with this #JHBackdrop that I haven’t used before.
I like this combo :
#4thMemnonRegiment Heavy Lascannon, makeshift fortifications in orange lighting. Looks like fist light or sundown.

I painted up some of the new Highland Miniatures zombies the other night as test minis. This is a super quick scheme that’s mostly just a zenithal primed, Speedpaint, and an all over drybrush. It’s mean to be fast and look good as a big group cause you know you’ll need a whole horde.

I'm having one of those space marine phases again, so here's me testing out a new scheme for my Minotaurs inspired by @mengelminis.bsky.social's bronze armor recipe, I think the pose makes the lighting kinda funny, but it's looks pretty good so far

Now that the Halo show is on Netflix and available to a wider audience, I definitely recommend you go give it a watch. Season 1 is rough, but Season 2 really kicks things off and is much, much better.

With almost every colour in this tutorial utilising a Speedpaint basecoat, these angsty Aeldari are easier than ever to paint!

Was thinking about getting the Drukhari box since the new Archon is sweet & the selection of units is good, but $240 for about 600 points of models is too much for me.
Half of it is the pricing, but the other issue is just how severely under pointed everything in 40K is. Armies should be smaller.

I finished up the Heretic Priest to lead my warband last night. I’m particularly happy with the outside of the cape & his one boot. 😂
I don’t normally do this sketchier style of painting with lots of texture & visible brush strokes, but I’m really enjoying it & think it suits the setting perfectly.

Primer, Speedpaint, a couple of solid Fanatic acrylics, a Quickshade Dip, then just a few highlights. Nothing difficult, and very little extra work past the dip and varnish stage - honestly, all the 'finishing touches' are the fun parts!
