r/Warhammer40k

I came across a second-hand model shop on my daily walk today. I saw what I thought was a Kabalite Warrior squad for £12, just over half of them assembled but all unpainted. I had £20 left in my bank account to last me until my next dole payment on Tuesday, so I thought what the hell? I don't have any other DEldar guys, but I prefer painting to playing anyhow so it doesn't matter that I don't have an army for them to go with.

Then it got better: I mentioned that that shop was a heavensend for me what with being unemployed, so the shop owner charged me a tenner instead of £12. Then I showed them to my housemate's partner (a big Warhammer fan) to let him know about the shop; he told me what I bought is actually the Hand of the Archon Kill Team. So I *can* play with them as well!

£1 per mini, plus I get to have matches with them? I am so chuffed with this. I just wanted to share my joy with y'all.

 

EDIT: For all those commenting on my financial situation: I get where you're coming from, but no need to worry. I've stocked up on food; I've scheduled my bills and rent to come out of my account on the same day as my UC payments come in; and I have an overdraft in case of emergencies.

Still working on this, the characters need coloring and whatever else but thought i'd post progress shots. Scene was inspired by the part in the fall of cadia where Celestine resurrects Eleanor and Genevieve.

Been having a rough week, so time for sone retail therapy, and a model ive always wanted to paint

Iron Dawn moves, finally

Got the piston feet thingies to move with the foot. Just gotta make the second leg now

I almost feel like it’s pointless to play a full 2K game now that we know a lot of the rules are getting changed so back to combat patrol. I have 12 armies so I have atleast one-two combat patrols for each. What’s your favorite combat patrol

Wanted to test my self to see if I could get a decent looking marine out in less than 3 hrs ( I usually spend 8-12 per model. This was the result… I think I’ll keep taking my time. Seems like mineral spirits I used for the enamel wash started to dissolve the 3rd party transfers. Meh, lol

I don't think there are many in the wild :D

Started Nov. 2023 and finished yesterday. (For now)

Finally all done and ready for combat patrol.

Trying a White Scar before painting Suboden Khan. Favorite light grey base coat paint?

Also attach the picture of other 3 for reference.

Currently I'm having difficulty with the last one (5th member) as the bits is quite difficult to acquired.
