The Grey Knights took on a bug infestation last night. I lost five models in the whole game… playing Purge is fun 😅 #WarhammerCommunity #Warhammer40k

A wonderful introduction to 11th edition last night as my ‘Birdwatch’ (Shadowmark Talon RG Deathwatch) took on the Space Wolves. Came right down to the last turn ending in an 85-84 to the Wolves! #WarhammerCommunity #Warhammer40k

First Emperor’s Children character done! To be used as a Lord Exultant in 40K and a Praetor in 30K, these take me long enough to paint that I might as well get two game systems out of them! #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #emperorschildren #warhammer40k

Played probably my last game of 10th edition last night (at least my last with this army) as my Shadowmark Talon Space Marines took a single point win against the Thousand Sons #warhammercommunity

Ultramarines Nemesis Destroyers and a Centurion for Horus Heresy. Had a blast playing with these last week so thought I’d add some touch ups to finish them off. They’re mucky lads as they do all the jobs Guilliman doesn’t want to! #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #HorusHeresy

Wonderful game of Horus Heresy last night with my Ultramarines being guided through the rules by the Alpha Legion (I’m sure it was all part of their plan). Highlight was my Locutarus champion claiming two heads in consecutive challenges before falling in the third! #warhammercommunity #horusheresy

Had this Tyranid Prime lying around so got the Contrast out and got it done! I don’t have a full Tyranid army and no intention of doing one but painting a cool model just because it’s a cool model is fun… reminds me why I started this hobby in the first place #PaintingWarhammer #WarhammerCommunity

After her first game (ending up in my opponent’s deployment zone turn 1) I thought I should finish painting my Keeper of Secrets. That’s now all 5 Greater Daemons done, family photo coming soon! #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #chaosdaemons #warhammer40k

My boys in black got eaten by bugs last week, should have brought the actual Deathwatch instead of Shadowmark 🤣 A fun game nonetheless and I’m looking forward to a rematch in 11th edition! #warhammercommunity #warhammer40000

Incredibly silly but entertaining game of 40K tonight! I took Bastion Task Force with an army of smol boys… and a Kratos… into some not-Chaos Chaos Marines. We both needed Oath to do anything but a lucky overwatch saved the day for me! #warhammercommunity

Continued my 0% win rate into Guard today as my Deathwatch posing as Raven Guard jumped around the table picking off tanks (I got 6 out 7) then realised I couldn’t stand on the circles! Got a good secondary score but whipped on primary! Still had fun and there’s always next time… #warhammercommunity

An absolute stormer of a game today with my Shadow Legion Chaos taking on the Rage Cursed Blood Angels! My Lord killed a Knight, Be’lakor got blasted by Death Company, and the game ended a 5 point defeat to a re-roll charge from my Great Unclean One, who was just too stodgy #warhammercommunity

First model of 2026. Someone in my gaming group mentioned Badab War and next thing I was reading the IA books, watching every Arbitor Ian video, and painted an Executioner Chapter Space Marine! Yay for ADHD hyperfocus, I won’t care for it next week 😝 #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #badab

My 2025 hobby in review! I painted 87 minis (including 3 Greater Daemons), played 18 games of 40K, 4 of AOS, and just 3 of Horus Heresy. In 2026 I want to paint my Deathwatch, get through the Chaos backlog, and play more games (particularly to finally try out 3rd edition Heresy!) #warhammercommunity

Currently reading Elemental Council by Noah Van Ngyuen and although it is VERY good I can’t help but find it strange how an entire Tau force struggle to take out a single Space Marine. In my games a handful of Breachers would do that no problem 🤣 #WarhammerCommunity

Be’lakor and friends went on a Space Marine purge last night with a really fun game vs a combined Space Wolves / Blood Angels Twilight Crusade. I really enjoyed playing Shadow Legion with Daemons, CSM and a Knight for that classic Disciples of Be’lakor feel! #WarhammerCommunity
