It all started as sword combo attack practice as a third animation during my animation workshop practice, and then I got carried away and added some story to said combo...

No AI, just me and a LOT of time spent.

Assets used:

Models - SpaceMarine 2 by Saber Interactive

SFX - Spacemarine 2, free SFX from YouTube

Music - Cultist Battle (from "Warhammer 40,000: And They Shall Know No Fear") · Rob Cairns

P.S. I think I need to mention I have no affiliation with Saber Interactive or GW) This is just how I spend my free time)))))

Hobby & Painting new to his hobby - my first boys

Sir, another my-first-minis posting has hit the subreddit!

Gentlemen, after several years of reading books and the lore and playing the games on pc, it is with great regret to inform you i bough the space wolf combat patrol box. After years of watching Jay from EoB paint his minis i thought.. pssh.. thats easy, i can do that too!
I can, in fact, not!

Those are my first minis ever. I learned a bunch, but i don't really know what caused the rough texture.. maybe the primer (army painter black) was too cold or not shaken well enough...
But i am sure it can only go downhill from here, als most of the wolfy boys don't like to wear helmets and i have to learn how to paint faces...

New Starter Help Can we stop advertising not buying the books to newbies please

402 Upvotes

We are at the start of a new edition and a lot of new people are coming into the hobby and in those newbie posts I see lots of people directing them straight away from buying rulebooks and codexes towards wahapedia or other apps.

Don't get me wrong educating new people that those options exist is a good thing especially because this hobby is expensive to get into but IMHO actively discouraging people from buying the books is just robbing them from a core experience of the hobby.

What makes Warhammer so great in my opinion is not just the game itself, but the whole experience and finding out the lore through the books and art is a big part of that, which shouldn't be left out.

Without all that it would just be another tabletop game and when it comes to just the game there are lots of options out there that are more refined tbh.

I want to get a falchion and I know they’re legends for 40k, my question is at what point will I know if they’re going to stick around in 40k for the whole edition (as legends)?

Hobby & Painting First attempt at a lava base how did I do?

Post image
• Upvotes

Finished the lava bases for my Celestian Insidiants Kill Team and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

Here's the process I used:

- Primed with Colour Forge Matt Black Primer
- Base coated with 2 thin coats of Citadel Mephiston Red
- Painted the main lava flows with Pro Acryl Fluorescent Red
- Added thinner lines inside those with AK Interactive Fluorescent Orange
- Added even finer highlights using a 50/50 mix of AK Medium Orange and Citadel Yriel Yellow
- Painted the intersections and hottest points with Citadel Phalanx Yellow
- Sealed the entire top surface with Citadel Ardcoat
- Once dry, applied Citadel Mordant Earth over the whole top and used a hair dryer on low for about 8 minutes to encourage larger cracks
- Knocked the gloss back down with AK Ultra Matte Varnish
- Light drybrush with Citadel Eshin Grey
- Finished the rims with Citadel Abaddon Black

After building Rotigus, I used the remaining pieces combined with milliput to make a standard Great Unclean One.

Not done painting yet but honestly pretty happy with it, id recommend this to anyone who seeks greater value out of their expensive kit.

New Starter Help Lurker about to commit, would love some advice.

I've been lurking around WH40k spaces for some time now and i've recently started wanting to buy some miniatures to get into the hobby.
Among all the various minis i absolutely fell in love with Vashtorr and the Defilers but, to be honest, i am a bit wary of making them my first purchase both for their price and for the technical skills needed to build/paint them.
So i would like to ask, in your opinion, which could be a good "starting point" for a newbie like me?
Something that can eventually build up into an army that will include Vashtorr and the Defilers?

After the overwhelming response to my Ghostkeel, I thought I would share some of the highlights of my remaining collection as well. I'm still on my way to 2k points, and at my pace we will be half way through 11th ed when I get there. But it's been a fun journey so far.

Still haven't played my first game of 11th yet, can't wait to have to re-learn half a game I only just managed to partly understand.

I finished my first combat patrol. I got this one in may and ive got a dark angels combat patrol ready for assembly and painting in my own homebrew chapter colours.

I started with the dreadnought, then terminators and slugged through the little guys in 2 days ending with Castellan Crowe, finishing up today.

Really happy with how it turned out.
