Two of my first models next to two of my most recent. I'm not near any awards but I feel like I'm getting better #warhammer #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #minis #minipainting #warhammercommunity #painting #spacemarine #ultramarines

First terminator and first beaky helmet! Still need basing. Building a proper army for the first time too! Love both these models, but I might be addicted to termies now. Send help. #warhammer #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #minis #minipainting #warhammercommunity #painting #spacewolves

Working on Orks for the first time. Love them! I feel like they give me permission to get weird and do fun things. They're fancy boyz, need a good basing scheme still. Suggestions welcome! #warhammer #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #minis #minipainting #warhammercommunity #orks #painting #waaagh!

Done with my first Black Templar, loved painting these guys. And yes the Neophytes have weird hair so the one on the right got frosted tips. #warhammer #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #minis #spacemarine #blacktemplar #minipainting #warhammercommunity

Almost done with my first 10 Black Templar, going to base with rocky, grassy terrain. Hoping the green grass will be a nice contrast for the red. Anybody else painting something new? #warhammer #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #minis #spacemarine #blacktemplar #minipainting #warhammercommunity

Finished some new space marines, not sure what to call them yet. First time trying to paint a power sword! Knew I wanted some orange on a model, daughter helped me pick the other colors. #warhammer #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #minis #minipainting #warhammercommunity

Building some minis with my dog, Daisy, overseeing my progress. Is #petsandminis a thing? Post pics of your pets watching you pursue your hobby!

Two wip plaguebearers! Mostly just need their goopy ooze bases. See the last picture for my first attempt at ooze. Tips and tricks appreciated! #warhammer #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #minis #minipainting #warhammercommunity

Ten new marines, done and based! My favorite part of the process is seeing my painting get a little bit better each time. Still new, but looking forward to the next minis. #warhammer #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #minis #spacemarine #darkangels #minipainting

Distracting myself with some mini painting. Still new to the hobby, but it's got me pretty hooked. Be nice, I'm new and usually mid-anxiety attack

Going to start painting my plaguebearers soon! Excited? Yes. Perfectly removed mold lines? I tried my best. Will the paint job be mind blowing? No, I'm new. Fun though!
