PAINT IT ALL warhammer/40k
Been spending the last few years painting plenty of minis.
Thought I'd share a bit of the work and process. Enjoy!..
Was gifted this great display case from my bro and thought it'd be perfect for the Space Wolves...
...And I decided to give it an icy, cavernous paintjob using some acrylic n watercolor paint and some final touchups with marker.
I'm proud to officially have paint on all my woofs, but plenty of them still are in need of detailing and touchups.
Also been getting a few more games against the Orks, and a recent 1v1v1 that included an Imperial Guard tank line. I can't find the words to describe the massacre that ensued...
Visited my friends from school in Florida and got a great game in with them too!
It's been fun slowly learning how to play 10th edition 40k.
Seems like high toughness wins the day though, so I've learned to take more tanks than troops.
Still, that won't stop me from painting everything I've collected thus far!..
The two paintjobs I picked for these marines is the Great Company of the Bloodied Hunter for all my first-born marines, and any primaris I have is instead painted the scheme of the successor Space Wolf chapter known as the Crimson Prowlers.
Their art is pretty sweet if you look them up...
Enough of 40k, I've been painting Old World Dwarves as well!..
This is where I started.
...And this is how far I've gotten. Still plenty more to paint, but they're getting there!
