A photo of a group of three epic scale space marine jetbikes painted as Crimson Fists, but two of the bikes are painted in the yellow livery of the Imperial Fists. In the background lurks a landspeeder painted on the same style

Have you considered epic scale? My Crimson Fists are just post founding and use a bunch of Imperial Fist vehicles that haven't been repainted yet.

I'd say go for it. Makes you happy, makes them happy. Plus you can swing some narrative about them fighting on the same world 10,000 years later for some reason (if you're into that kinda thing)

I read a large chunk of House of Leaves while stranded at midnight in a trainstation. A memorably unnerving experience. I recommend it!

That's a horrible feeling. I have a box of models that I can't open for the risk of them putting me off painting again

Oh! And led to me painting everything in reach yellow because modern yellows are so lovely to use

Wanting to muck about with tesseract glow as a paint and not just a gimmick definitely influenced my choice of chapter!

In light of today's UK "Supreme" Court ruling:
Trans women are *women* and deserve to be protected, not isolated and excluded.
Acting like excluding them is somehow adding to your own protections as a woman is not only stupid, it's dangerous. We need to be standing together.

Could it have been a mining bee or a carder? Solitary bees tend to be smaller than their bumbley cousins, but are often just as fuzzy!

A firstborn space marine from Warhammer 40k painted as a Blood Angel. The model's details are heavily obscured by the thickness of the paint. The base is painted classic goblin green.

A primaris space marine painted as a Daughter of Medusa. Her armour is an eye searing shade of bright green, but her base is painted a sombre grey.

I'm a bit behind the times (it's been a long week), but a wee comparison of my earliest and most recently painted space marines. Around 25 years between them.
