This used to be about as dynamic as they got! Everyone was either half-crouching or doing star jumps

Welcome back Andy, hope you're well. You missed my finished Nathaniel Garro! Came together from photoshopped inception to actual mini quite nicely I think.

This feels like a successful first print!

Give me a couple of hours and I'll tell you haha

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.

Paint my Death Guard, assemble and paint up a Zone Mortalis board to match them, paint and play some Infinity, and look to getting my Siege-era Blood Angels collected bit by bit. Oh, and maybe some gaming!

Love these guys, painting my own right now!

Thanks mate, appreciated

Yes, the quick paint over ended up with a glow feel to it - Astartes lighting up armour pieces that aren't just their eye lenses could be very cool

Thank you very much!

Exactly correct! DG Praetor belt, legs and cape. Garro Torso, arms, head. Random Mk3 backpack and Libertas has the crossguard from a Primaris power sword.

A photoshoped concept on the left versus the finished miniature on the right, of a Battle-Captain Nathaniel Garro of the Death Guard Legion, during the Horus Heresy

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!

It's a special occasion when you get to do that. I did one myself recently and it felt straight out of Indiana Jones for a moment.

Not to be howled separately

Thank you very much!

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!

In a DC Universe where Superheroes are kinda dark and bleh, you get a young, noble and optimistic supermarket to sort all these things out and be a fish out of water again. No grumpiness, just hope.

Probably should have myself, but this is ok for me

Thank you! I've managed one line on my previous capes for Thousand Sons, so I figured for Garro I'd try parallel lines 😅

Completed Nathaniel Garro! Now to get building the rest of the 1,000 points...

I think the only valid complaint is that in Witcher 3, playing as a weirdly underpowered yet overpowered Ciri was a jarring speedbump quest, and maybe that a full game of that could be undesirable. Beyond that? Eh, usual nonsense.

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

I'm starting with 1,000 points (Garro, Apoth Voyen, Qruze and a command squad, 15 Tacs, 10 Breachers, 5 Missile Launchers) for 37 models. With a few Terminators and a bunch of Inductii I think I can get to exactly 70 with 2,000 points - mostly infantry is very Death Guard, and so is being on a ship

Time to join the ranks of the XIVth Legiones Astartes, 7th Company, as they flee the Isstvan system.

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.

WIP Wednesday

Post a Work in Progress 👇

So much so it's weird for me to see "Thadrin" without the "BB". Days of the community keeping things going with the Galak Starscraper rulebook look long gone - haven't played it myself in 10 or 12 years

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!

To me, it's a Finn Balor/Prince Devitt-style Coup De Grace double stomp from the top rope!

Haha he'd look like a trashcan at best 🤣

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!
