High Grade People in a Perfect Grade World

… But this thread is about painting! Here’s what I finished most recently: I painted a Hero Forge model for a buddy who plays D&D. This is his character:

My display case is mostly Infinity:

I play Aleph (top) and their sworn enemy the Nomads (bottom two). The majority of my Aleph models are in my case for game night (though I haven’t been able to play since January 😭😭). I’m intending to bang out that Marut (the big primed one on the left) over spring break. We’ll see!

I very recently gave my boy a little tlc after more than a few years on display. Washed some caked on dust off of him and gave a once over with rubbing alcohol. Redid the panel lining too because it had mostly faded.

My most recent build was an RG Zaku which I didn’t have much fun building. Too fiddly.

I have completely fallen off Gunpla after going hard on it for a few years but as part of my mental health rehabilitation, I have turned back to another form of plastic; 40K.

I used to play 40K as a teenager and then in my early 20s when I had a good friend group and before I moved away for work. I realise that I need to get out and socialise and do something that isn’t making and playing games so I’ve picked 40K back up so I can go to a local game shop and play.

I used to play Sisters of Battle and I’ve gone for them again since they have all been redone in plastic. I really like the new models, the detail is phenomenal. The new paints are great and I’ve invested in decent budget brushes and I’m having a great time painting them. Soon I’ll be going to a store and learning to play, just in time for the new edition to change everything.

Here are my first couple of figures.

I haven’t played 40K since … 2nd edition. GW just announced 10th ed.

I do, however, listen to some lengthy 40K lore videos on youtube. Often while falling asleep so I only really hear the first few minutes and need to play the same video about 5-6 times to actually hear it all.

I always liked the models, I still have some from the 90’s (when I had 2nd ed) on a shelf at my parents’ house. I had some khorne chaos marines, and then some tyranids - probably the best of the lot there was a carnifex. I’ll try to remember next time I’m visiting to grab a photo.

rejj I’ll try to remember next time I’m visiting to grab a photo.

Ha ha ha oops. I guess emphasis was on try.

I shall continue trying to remember

I’ve been plugging away at my Sisters of Battle army over the months. I’ve almost got 1000 points assembled so I can get to playing.

I did my Paragon Warsuits today. Just need to add green stuff flames to the candles I added once the gree stuff is dry.

I finished the Marut for Infinity recently and in the grand tradition of freshly painted miniatures, it was a total clown show on its first outing. Didn’t really kill anything and got hacked, possessed, and killed all of my own midfield units. A+, would paint again.

Multi armed suits are cool

Chopemon I also need to shrink down photos before posting them. They look OK on a phone, but boy do they look stupid at 30″. 😛

KingTubb Hell yes, no gunpla beats 80’s gunpla (or reprints).

I’m a very casual gunpla builder, but this cup noodle was a really fun kit and I love seeing it on my shelf.

Last thing I built was a Quebely, but I will not be posting photos of that because that was a difficult kit and I put it together sloppily.

Does digitally sculpting my own creatures, 3D printing them, and painting them still count?

Chopemon

HyggeState heck yeah. I’ve been buying 3d printed accessories from Etsy to add to my Warhammer. Nothing as exciting as creatures but 3d printing has been a real boon to people who like to convert their miniatures.
