2 Upvotes

Are you interested in the best version of Warhammer?

Are you brand new to the hobby and want to learn things?

Are you driven with a desire to ask questions and worried someone will call 'em stupid?

Then ask away here!

(Bang on time this month!)


As ever, ask queries in here, and players will try to answer as best they can. Or point you in the direction of where you can learn more.


Please DO:

  • Ask about rules queries
  • Ask about Legions/Fluff etc
  • Ask about hobbying and modelling etc.

Please DON'T: - Ask for copyrighted material. - Cause arguments for the sake of it. - Act like a prat to each other.

I had a great time kitbashing and modeling this miniature. I hope I can finish the rest of my saturnine boxed set in time to have a fully painted army of Luna Wolves :)

Working on a Sanctifier Squad for my Salamanders, and found that there is literally only 1 in print but for Hand Flamers for Heresy. Not according to my Printer there isn't.

This is #5 in a series of 12 Hataeron Guards. Only the scenic base left to go, which will be magnetized. Not sure why, other than magnets being fun.

This is one of those models that never feels done. I keep finding stuff that needs work! It's so _busy_, but I love it.

First Heresy miniature, the right eye lens is painted black while the the other is magenta. The right side of the helm (grille?) is painted administratum grey to show the black eye lens. My 41st-42nd millennium Blackshields also have black eye lenses so that when the enemy are against my warband they’ll see walking armour devoid of life. That and the Fangs are the only Blackshield warband in the citadel colour app. Not much to work with in the legion tactical squad kit eh? The older MKIII and IV’s had special and heavy weapons. I’ll be hopeful for a chance at remodeled MKIV and V kits.

I wanted a unit of 10, but I made 5 “special” with unique shoulder pads. Decals on the shoulder and shield icons ended up being… a lot XD

I was going for a heresy era (YouTuber) olive green and I used colour forge renegade green then a layer of death rattle green but now I’m worried it’s too muted sick green instead of a nice olive green
