Hey, I'm Simon, and I'm a Dad in his 40s playing and painting Horus Heresy, among other things. You might have followed me from before, but I'll be glad if you follow me now.
This feels like a successful first print!

So I guess this is a new supplement to my hobby... if it works! Testing printing to see if I can get it to work properly.

The original idea I had for Garro is the photoshopped concept on the left, sticking 2 minis together. On the right, my final painted, based and nameplated version. Turned out better than I'd hoped!

The #DeathGuard are nearly built, with just 4 Tacticals (for a total of 10) and 5 more Breachers (to make 10), to go with the Missile Squad, Centurion with Command Squad, Apothecary and Garro. This is half of The Seventy!

Completed Nathaniel Garro! Now to get building the rest of the 1,000 points...

The Death Guard bits are arriving steadily, with Breacher shields, bases and scuplted pauldrons to come next, but the exciting part is I now have the bits to build the Nathaniel Garro of my hobby dreams. The next question is do I have the skill? This kitbash is going to be trickier than I thought!
My next project is going to be based on Flight of the Eisenstein - Nate Garro and the Seventy... but the only Garro model is in his Knight Errant era, so I used a bit of Photoshop wizardry to figure out how a kitbash could look.
Does anyone have both models and can compare the sizes? #DeathGuard

I think the plans turned out pretty well! This Contemptor-Boxnaught hybrid still needs some decoration before he's ready to defend the walls of the Imperial Palace, but the basic bits and pose are all sorted. Now for a bit of bling!

Yesterday, the 4th Fellowship of the Thousand Sons returned to the ruins of Prospero, and despite the fallen Salamander objective marker, weere confused to find the Sons of Russ awaiting them in full battle array

As one set of orders is processing and shipping its way to me to build my 30k Death Guard project (and a little bit more!), it's equally as exciting to be packing up my spare Primaris models and bits to send off as a care package to a new young player taking their first steps in the hobby.

D&D night in the Lost Mine of Phandelver, the monk messes with coffins and skeletons pop out, because of course! The cleric did warn him..

Star Trek Adventures by Modiphius does this very well, you know immediately if you succeed or fail by rolling equal/under the Success and Crit Success values as determined by the abilities you're using - all the maths is up front.
One tabletop game mechanic I try to avoid is mathematics post dice roll. I find it diffuses the big moments, especially when you are slow at mental arithmetic.
For example, roll 1d20, add modifiers, subtract modifiers then compare to a value...

Orders placed for all the bits I need to make this lovely Loyalist set of Death Guard... except for the space-industrial bases to represent the floor of the Eisenstein, as Wargame Exclusive's website is down. Excited to start the project when all the various bits come in!

I've been eyeing Lamenters for a Badab-era project and this is absolutely true (and also good timing to help push me into a decision)

One of the old Epic vehicles I never thought I'd see at 28mm size. Holy hell what a build!
This is tondate, the largest model I’ve ever painted. A 3D printed Leviathan command vehicle for 40k. It took two cans of Halfords spray and slew two dry brushes. It’s bonkers and I love it. We’ve used it in a bunch of games with some home brew rules (baneblade and Warhound mixed basically) #40k

Quote with your first anime. Sometimes your first choice in a new genre is actually a fabulous example.
