This feels like a successful first print!

Starblayde @starblayde.bsky.social · 01/01/2025

So I guess this is a new supplement to my hobby... if it works! Testing printing to see if I can get it to work properly.

The original idea I had for Garro is the photoshopped concept on the left, sticking 2 minis together. On the right, my final painted, based and nameplated version. Turned out better than I'd hoped! #WarhammerCommunity #DeathGuard #Nerdlings #HorusHeresy #Warhammer30k

The #DeathGuard are nearly built, with just 4 Tacticals (for a total of 10) and 5 more Breachers (to make 10), to go with the Missile Squad, Centurion with Command Squad, Apothecary and Garro. This is half of The Seventy!

Progress on Battle-Captain Nathaniel Garro continues, with WIP Voyen, Qruze and some bases in the background.

WIP Wednesday Post a Work in Progress 👇

This stunning Black Templar Eradicator miniature, expertly painted by Andy TheBrushSmith, showcases a masterful interpretation of the John Blanche-inspired grimdark aesthetic. The model features intricately weathered black power armor with striking white shoulder pads, accentuated by bold red details such as the helmet lens and subtle iconography. The plasma gun’s yellow casing is meticulously detailed, bearing the iconic Imperium skull emblem, while a weathered bronze muzzle adds depth and realism. The right knee pad displays a vibrant hazard stripe pattern, adding a unique pop of color to the overall palette. The base complements the miniature perfectly, depicting a barren, war-torn landscape with cracked earth textures. The dark, gothic tones and precise edge highlights give the model a dramatic, gritty feel reminiscent of Blanche’s iconic art style. This piece is a perfect example of how to combine storytelling, expert technique, and a love for Warhammer 40K lore into a single, breathtaking miniature.

The Death Guard bits are arriving steadily, with Breacher shields, bases and scuplted pauldrons to come next, but the exciting part is I now have the bits to build the Nathaniel Garro of my hobby dreams. The next question is do I have the skill? This kitbash is going to be trickier than I thought!

Starblayde @starblayde.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

I think the plans turned out pretty well! This Contemptor-Boxnaught hybrid still needs some decoration before he's ready to defend the walls of the Imperial Palace, but the basic bits and pose are all sorted. Now for a bit of bling!

Yesterday, the 4th Fellowship of the Thousand Sons returned to the ruins of Prospero, and despite the fallen Salamander objective marker, weere confused to find the Sons of Russ awaiting them in full battle array

As one set of orders is processing and shipping its way to me to build my 30k Death Guard project (and a little bit more!), it's equally as exciting to be packing up my spare Primaris models and bits to send off as a care package to a new young player taking their first steps in the hobby.

Star Trek Adventures by Modiphius does this very well, you know immediately if you succeed or fail by rolling equal/under the Success and Crit Success values as determined by the abilities you're using - all the maths is up front.

Orders placed for all the bits I need to make this lovely Loyalist set of Death Guard... except for the space-industrial bases to represent the floor of the Eisenstein, as Wargame Exclusive's website is down. Excited to start the project when all the various bits come in!

I've been eyeing Lamenters for a Badab-era project and this is absolutely true (and also good timing to help push me into a decision)

My thoughts process went 1) How have I never seen transformers-inspifed Astartes before? 2) Oh wow, that power axe is a spot on reference. 3) Holy moly, even the gun matches G1 Prime! This is just superb!

My 90s Blood Angel Primaris Assault Intercessor picked up the most likes back on what became Elmo's trash fire - think I might have to repost the full set of First Foinding bright and vibrant loyalists - but for now the one that started it. #WarhammerCommunity #paintingwarhammer #Warhammer40k

My next project is going to be based on Flight of the Eisenstein - Nate Garro and the Seventy... but the only Garro model is in his Knight Errant era, so I used a bit of Photoshop wizardry to figure out how a kitbash could look. Does anyone have both models and can compare the sizes? #DeathGuard

By way of fully introducing myself to this platform, I figure introducing myself by way of how I interact with the Warhammer hobby would be best. So here goes, with my loyalist 4th Fellowship of the XVth Legion, the Thousand Sons. Here they are at their strongest, in the form of a 3k tournament list

Hey, I'm Simon, and I'm a Dad in his 40s playing and painting Horus Heresy, among other things. You might have followed me from before, but I'll be glad if you follow me now.
