Got a whole bunch of Necron stuff to base which I'll do together, so the base isn't done on the Silent King... But the rest is 😁

My son has decided he would like to start a Thousand Sons army.

Ordered the Combat Patrol today. In the meantime, I've dug out some very old Tzeentch marines I badly painted yonks ago to start restoring them for him.

A fun little project!

I'm sorry but

'We won two world wars, and EVEN won a world cup'

will never not be hilarious.

Really just using this as an excuse to repost my recently completed chaos knight lancer.

Upgraded my chaos knights with a third big knight (Cerastus lancer) ready for the first game with the new codex tomorrow.

The shield, made with spirit hosts, is really cool even if I do say so myself.

This is one guy that loves the heat. (Also just one of those great models to paint that does all the work for you.)

On my hobby table currently...

Just finished a hellbrute for a friend to use in their World Eaters army.

Primed for painting:

1. Silent King (lovely model)
2. Loads of Imperial Guard catachan infantry, a hellhound, kasrkin and rough riders

Mid-build - Cerastus knight lancer.

Tell me about a fictional character death you still haven't gotten over using only a picture.

Finished my Votann army, built a load of Imperial Guard models and painted a model for my son before I start them.

Imperial Guard reinforcements as I expand my forces to make a recon detachment list.

Need to buy more primer...

Not painted much red recently, but did finish my Votann army at the weekend with this High Kahl/Uthar (herewith bodyguard).

Yo Bluesky hobby peeps. I finished my new year, new army over a month earlier than self imposed deadline.

Say hello to the kyn 😁

Nicely done. I painted my whole 2k Tyranid army with dry brushing (for all but the tiny details) last year, it's a great technique I want to experiment with further.

My son collects Orks and a few years ago was nervous about his 11+, so I painted this guy for him to take with him.

(Its my son I'm proud of really)

Currently working on Votann.

40k new year new army progress slowed a bit in March, but got my Hearthguard and Champion done today.

(Bases are drying)

For some reason the only pic I have of this is with a drying base...

This is an old photo that for some reason I took over my kitchen countertop... Anyhow, none sneakier than the Deathleaper.
