The last kit modular kit of the firstborn era has finally been retired. :/

Easy kitbash > ​unique model.

Kitbash when you can!

A couple months ago I posted the piles of boxes that would make up the White Consuls 4th Company. I’m happy to show that half of the company is ready for the tabletop. Still need to do some cleanup work and paint banners, but it’s a force to be reckoned with. That is, until the Str10 AP2 large blast scatters back onto me.

I just applied some Mr mark setter and softer to the decal and now it looks botched, is there a a way for me to and fix or will I just have to scrap the project?

Brothers, two mighty Veterans have returned to service after the long sleep. It ain’t much to brag about, but you must forgive me. Old Boxy Brothers are my favorite kind of units in the entire Universe ❤️

And it's kick-started this absurd 3rd ed style dark angels project. Apologies for potato camera quality

Here's my Genesis Chapter 's guilliman the primarch

I got some forge world rhino doors on ebay. They came a little warped and I sorted them out with hot water. As I'm moving forward with the build they are too small and fall into the opening. Having never worked with Forge World stuff before, is this normal? Should I just fill the space behind the door with some like hot glue to bulk it up?

Sorry for the phone quality "light box" (i.e. my painting lamp and a white shelf 🤣)

I played 40k briefly when I was 12-15, at the tail end of 3rd and start of 4th edition. Last year I got back into it and started playing a few games with a friend (coincidentally the same who introduced me to 40k when we were kids!). Dug out my old models and love that I now have the patience for painting (and money...) to actually build the collection I wanted.

But anyway... Here's my old 3rd edition command squad I had stored in a box in the loft for nearly 25 years. And 6 months of painting later (I just had my first kid... So scraping together about 30-60 mins of time for painting a day is tough) they have finally made it to the table.

Just really wanted to share them with some people who might appreciate them! Enjoy! For the EMPEROR!

(Yes I know... Drill the barrels... 😅)

I might add some more highlights later but I’m happy for now. Thinking about sending him to Armageddon :)
