Here is my entry

In progress

Have a look through some of the early 40k rulebooks, there is tons of black and white line art in them as it was much easier and cheaper to print.

I have done a bunch of colouring in with them when the wee one has told me to colour in space marines whilst they are working away in their colouring books.

It's fairly easy to find PDFs online, then you just need to crop the images and print them out.

Squiggly beasts were fantastic, but I have to disagree about the Zoanthrope I've always loved it. I am a bit odd though.

They arrived yesterday morning, but life has been all over me recently so didn't get a chance to photograph them until today.

Thank you again

Cheers, I did paint like this back in the day Haven't painted much in the last 20 years, really enjoying being back at it.

Been (slowly) working on an old Avatar of Khaine

I recently got this book, it may have had a slight effect on my choice of colours

It may not be exactly what you are after, but Matt Colville's Kingdoms and Warfare might be worth a look. It is designed to add a warfare mechanic to 5d D&D, but could probably be adapted to other RPG's. It's not really a tabletop wargame.

If you really want to try a tabletop wargame One Page Rules has Age of Fantasy Regiments. The rules a free and easy to learn.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. I modelled it in blender and was trying to mash up the old epicast model and the original rhino kit

Cheers.

These were the first four that I did for a game of Necromunda at BOYL, So the rest should end up looking like them.

Cheers, I'm doing a bit of that with the grass around the base of this beast at the moment.

Progress on my gargant, this thing has so much damn surface area!

Before answering your questions I'd just like to say that you are off to a great start. The figure in the main picture has a good movement to it and feels like a natural pose.

1. If you don't already keep a bits box. This should be where you keep spare parts from sprues or that you have cut off any models you have been kit bashing. I also chuck in things that might be useful that would otherwise end up in the bin, wire, mesh, tubes, scraps of plastic packaging that can be repurposed, just whatever you think might be useful.

2. I use unscented Dettol. Leave plastic or metal in it overnight and use some fresh Dettol and a toothbrush to clean them up. Just be sure to put plenty of paper down underneath as the paint gunk dries and can pretty much only be cleaned up by scrubbing it with more Dettol.

3. Looking at your other comments I would also recommend the Howling Griffons, but if you have a colour scheme that you think would look cool just use that and make yourself a nice successor chapter. Personally one of the things I have always enjoyed about 40k is being able to make up your own lore.

One last piece of advice if you plan to do more sculpting with putty. Try getting your hands on some greenstuff, it is my modelling putty of choice and gives the best finished product in my opinion.

😂 Interesting, how does this picture make your back feel?

Another update on the Avatar, been working on a base for him as well.

Clean colour scheme, that looks amazing. Xenos beware.

Haha, no those are some Genestealer Cult proxies from Old School Miniatures, they are up on kickstarter just now.

Cheers, I'm not so sure about the metallics myself. I've been getting lessons from Josh at the Crown of Command podcast and he has really pushed my colours and highlighting to the next level, but the next lesson is non metal metallics which I am hoping will really improve that part of my painting as currently I think it is lacking.

I used a set of these

Cheers, these were the first ones i finished. So in theory they should look something like this when I am done.
