When you choose what you think is a good colour scheme for your Eversor assassin and then your GF walks in and says “Why is he dressed like Spider-Man?” ❤️ Anyway, here are some pictures of Spider-Man. #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #miniaturepainting

After two decades out of the hobby, I’ve been distracting myself from upheavals at work by building an Inquisition #killteam. Miniatures are the perfect decompression activity! #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity
