One of my concerns about the hobby is the feeling that permeates it of everything has to be โshowcaseโ.

Despite having prepped 17 models, when I started putting the actual colours on I hit a problem, so I finished one as a test and now I need to show it to someone irl. #slaanesh #wh40k #warhamnercommunity #minipainting
Oh absolutely GW games are terrible. If I want to play a good game KoW, Infinity and a few others way before GW.
But sometimes you have to play the games on offer.
With how long some models have taken me to get done, thatโs not a bad timeframe :)

Finally painted these, giving me 6 of them done. Because I have the old Underworlds warband, I can swap one for the โcharacterโ in there and have 2 units of 3 or 1 unit of six. #slaanesh #ageofsigmar #warhamnercommunity #minipainting
Last time I believed that was the Storm Orcs (I forget their actual name). I built and painted 1 regiment and was so disappointed I couldnโt even assemble a second regiment.
15.02.2026 22:55 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Every time I have believed that in the past Iโve gotten burnt by the rubbish.
But your paint job looks great.
Why not do 16 models as a โtest modelโ for a new method? #wip #warhammercommunity
15.02.2026 06:47 โ ๐ 17 ๐ 3 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Finally figured out a colour scheme that makes me want to paint Corsairs. So, 17 Emperorโs Children on my desk now are done, it will be test model time. #WarhammerCommunity
15.02.2026 05:03 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Its not even the difficulty of transporting them, its the fact you need 2 if not 3 of them to fully utilize the army. That's what needs to be fixed. 1 copy of the terrain is all that you should be using.
15.02.2026 01:00 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It does look like an alternate build. There is however only 1 new warscroll.
14.02.2026 23:24 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I got my pre-order sorted with my LGS... thanks GW for backing up and then releasing it all at once in Aus/NZ. 3 weeks of pre-orders at once *cries*

If I could count this would be 25/100, but apparently I cannot so itโs 24 and I need to do 1 more model to get to 25. #hellsmiths #ageofsigmar #warhamnercommunity #minipainting

No painting though just wasnโt in the mood, but hereโs a flash back.
