Finally got around to taking an army shot of the Sca Ité Revenants - really happy with how this has turned out. This is all the units so far - plenty still left to paint, but enough to see the theme coming together.

Photo of a Warhammer 40,000 army. The faction is Aeldari Craftworlds and there are about 40 infantry models, plus a larger war construct, a Wraithlord, displayed on a gaming board representing grey gravel, with some ramshackle ruins in the background. All models are painted grey with black weapons and white accents which vary from squad to squad (e.g. cloaks, plumes, helmets, robes). Bladed weapons are a glowing pale turquoise. In addition, the left hand of all models (including the giant Wraithlord) are painted blood red, for the bloody hand of Khaine. Army contains Guardians, Dire Avengers, Wraithblades, Maugan Ra, Dark Reapers, Howling Banshees, Striking Scorpions, Wraithguard, Wraithlord. It is led by a Farseer and a winged Autarch Wayleaper.

Just been down to the local Warhammer store submit two Armies on Parade: the Krieg Veterans kill team and the most recent (and ghostly) parts of the Revenants from my homebrew craftworld.

So much fun being able to share these with folks in real life and talk about the hobby.

A photo of a small Warhammer army on a scenic board with terrain. The army consists of a Farseer, a Spirit Seer, 10 Guardian Defenders, Maugan Ra and 5 Dark Reapers, 5 Wraithblades, 5 Wraithguard and one Wraithlord. The whole army is painted in a range of greys, with white detailing providing accents. Bladed weapons have a blue/white glow - adding to the ghostly effect. Standing out is the left hand of each miniature, painted a blood red for the bloody handed god Khaine. A photo of a Warhammer Kill Team unit on a scenic board with terrain in the background. The unit is ten Death Korps of Krieg Veterans, wearing greatcoats and gas masks, carrying a diverse mixture of weapons and wargear. They all wear drab blue with brown details for leather gear and wooden rifle stocks, weathered with the thick dust of the desert sand on their bases, and with a bright flash of red on the collars if their great

Test scheme for the Leagues of Votann.

Dark blue over a light blue with orange basing for contrast. Pretty happy with it - think this is a scheme I'm going to enjoy painting.
A photo of a Warhammer miniature. The mini is one of the Kin of the Leagues of Votann - a stocky, short-statured humanoid (ok, "Space Dwarf"). They wear body armour with a fully enclosed dome-shaped helmet over a rugged jumpsuit with knee and elbow pads. The armour is dark blue with a luminous orange eye-slit. The jumpsuit is a paler grey-blue, with grey pads and brown gloves. They are standing on a base of orange earth with a few tufts of scrubby grey grass.

Taken a break from the grey-on-grey Aeldari to take the Krieg kill team off the pile of shame after *checks notes* 4 years.

Painted in about 5 slightly different ways to see what would happen. I think the variation in results suits a veteran squad, and I'm pretty happy.

A squad of Warhammer models: a Death Korps of Krieg veteran squad. 10 soldiers in pale blue greatcoats and gas masks, with a flash of red at the collar (and, for the sergeant, the cuffs). They wield a variety of weapons - standard lasguns, special weapons, and some melee weapons including bayonets and a trench club. Their bases portray the pale cracked earth of a desert with scrubby green vegetation, and the dust cakes their uniforms and weapons (hopefully hiding the painter's lack of skill).

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Allow our scaled diagram to explain...
A light blue diagram depicting the sea, with the water's surface at the top, and just below it is an outline of the Mary Rose, with the depth (12m, 40ft or 6.7 fathoms). There is a line showing the seabed, which takes a rapid dive into the vertical...

A photo of two Warhammer miniatures. They are Aeldari wraith constructs - tall, elegant, bipedal war robots in grey with glowing blue bladed weapons and a blood red left hand. While the two constructs look extremely similar in shape, design, colour and weaponry, the Wraithlord (on the right) is twice the height of the Wraithblade (on the left) giving them a parent/child vibe.

Another shot of the Wraithlord, with his little buddies this time. I think they look great together - the similar silhouette at different scales really works, and I'm really happy with the paint scheme, which I think is proving effective across a whole army.

Warhammer miniatures: a Wraithlord and 5 Wraithblades. The Wraithlord towers over its smaller Wraithblades kin, but all are bipedal war constructs armed with glowing turquoise blades. They are all grey, with white heads and a blood red left hand.

Warhammer posting - just finished this Wraithlord. The first large mini for the Revenants and I think the colour scheme scales up really nicely.

Reposting some old hobby stuff from Twitter:

Harlequins were the first faction I started painting when I re-started 40k.

I got to about 1,000 points before realising I'd bitten off more than I can chew and putting them on hold, but I'm still proud them.

This is the Masque of the Spiteful Ember.
Picture of a collection of Warhammer miniatures - about 20 infantry and 4 light vehicles. They are Harlequins - warrior-dancers, with bright colours and patterns on their otherwise black outfits. Picture of a collection of Warhammer miniatures - a Harlequin army with a close-up on the Shadowseer - a dancing apparition in white with a slaff and a crystalline rainbow pistol. A collection of Warhammer miniatures - a Harlequin army with a close-up on the rainbow-haired Troupe Master and the black-clad Solitaire. Warhammer Miniatures. A whole army shot of a Harlequin Masque with a poem written above them. The poem reads: The flame is gone, in ash its heat abates The vile dark exalts with gleeful cries But stubborn and unreasoning hope defies: Refusing death, the spiteful ember waits

Ok, looks like I'm moving here.

Here's some Warhammer stuff.
Some Warhammer miniatures - a Farseer and a Spirit deer. Both wear monochrome grey with a red left glove. A Warhammer miniature - a beastboss on Squigosaur. A brutal looking green Ork leader riding a giant bright orange beast. A Warhammer miniature - an Imperial Inquisitor stabbing a huge sword into a flaming book. A Warhammer miniature - an Autarch Wayleaper. An elegant elfin leader with a great winged backpack and a huge axe. He wears grey with a single red glove on his left hand.
