I know what you mean, part of what gets me is it seems like such a waste. You’ve got the complex ‘characters’ in the form of chapters/legions but some folk get stuck on the ‘my guys are the coolest because x’ and they become totally 1D and boring. Mind you, I went space wolves so what do I know?

It's interesting how similar it is to most sci-fi/fantasy. I mean I love lore and world building, it's my favourite part of these things but at the same time it's star trek/wars/hammers chill out. If you don't like it, ignore it.

Gorgeous saturnines

Those are gorgeous! I really love the colours on the weapons, they work really well. It's getting harder and harder to resist ordering the big box of these beauties.

Cheeky bit of 3D printing to make this Saturnine Dreadnaught truly a #wordbearers big boy. I think I have my work cut out for me painting this, it took me three sessions to assemble it! #horusheresy #warhammer30k #warhammercommunity #warhammer #miniaturepainting #3dprinting #chonk

Very nice! I’ve held off on grey hunters because they didn’t seem worth the points but I love the poses. Are the storm casts a good source for female heads? I’ve 3d printed a couple but they tend not to fit the wolfey aesthetic

Cracking space wolf! Is it a grey hunter or is that a custom torso?

For what it's worth I'm a fan of contrast to make different elements stand out. The blackness of the raven with echoes of blue ice would be stunning.

It's a gorgeous kit, a proper bruiser of a mech and hopefully will earn it's place on the battlefield next week.

Ahh, but unfortunately that turns the Seven Hills Women's Institute into 'SHIWI' which is already taken and probably isn't appropriate for the group.

Good idea, I was initially going for a Martian look but I think I went too beige so actually a bit of dead veg might work. Maybe growing out of a skull…

Thanks, I added a tiny bit just to add a little depth but I don’t think I lost the crackle, what do you reckon? bsky.app/profile/idle...

I added a bit of dust just to darken some of the crevices and so I could add a little to his boots. Whilst I was playing I thought I’d get the base colours down on a dreadnought I just built. The dread needs to be a quick job as I want to use him in a game next week. #warhammer #paintingwarhammer

I’m bombarded with ‘claim compensation off the army if you used these ear plugs’ adverts and every time I’m a bit gutted that I lost them within hours of being issued and filled my pockets with yellow squishies instead for the next 5years

Thoughts on the base; does it need more red? Maybe a skull? Some ‘dust’?

Horus Heresy Omnibus Project - Home A Fan-Created Guide for Navigating the Epic Series

Oh, you need to read the first 5 at least - this is the best guide I've seen to reading order (www.heresyomnibus.com) but up to Flight of the Eisenstein is a must for the rest to make sense. After that pick a legion and read their stuff.

Lovely work! I've just read the First Heretic, almost felt sorry for Tal by the end.

Thanks, I'll take a look. I think it was pretty clear that Musk had no idea how hard any of this would be from the start but it will be nice to have some specifics.

The hubris of this guy - you could ‘secure civilisation’ by using your vast wealth to solve climate change, feed the hungry, provide education and healthcare for millions but no, the key apparently is to build a moon base 🤷🏼‍♂️

By strange coincidence I think that may well be happening.

Similar story in guiding too.

My wife is a member and the whole thing is heartbreaking. Small minded bigots smashing beautiful things so they can make life worse for trans folk, it’s hateful.
