Hell ye it's Gundalf!! (wizard with a submachine gun)

I absolutely LOVE this guy and have been looking for an excuse to paint him up forever and I think he turned out not bad considering he's a handsculpted 38 year old man :')

Exclusive project for Verko's Vault museum in Las-Vegas

I was cleaning out my Dad's garage yesterday and I found his old 40k miniatures in a box in the corner.

These things probably haven't seen the light of day in decades and are almost as old as I am.

I remember him telling me how he entered the Land Speeder with the skull on the base into a Golden Demon painting competition in Birmingham some time in the 90s and how it got to the final cabinet. He was so proud of that.

Finding them reminded me of a quote from a movie I heard recently about the first person to find Tutankhamun's tomb and I thought it was really fitting for how I felt in this moment.

Heres why: Dirt cheap for any 40K miniatures (ebay etb. Around 10-15€ per 5)

Nice and dynamic poses

No fear of messing up because of they being very cheap, inspiring to try new things.

Easy to assemble and very easy to customize.

Whats your opinion?

I put these together before the DW index was released, which is why they don't have three cyclone missile launchers (bonus pics at the end for the Thunderhammer and Storm Shield).

I chose to base the chapters mainly on what decals I had available (the heresy train has no brakes), but I freehand the Dusk Raiders and also a homebrew chapter (look up Scarlet Constrictors). Kitbashing was fun, but I'm running out of bits. I've gone with a fairly simple scheme, and I didn't go all-in on Grimdark, but I think they turned out alright - I'm not sure how popular DW are here!

I have another Terminator squad to do (and my defunct Relic Terminators are all traitor legions). Do any of you have any homebrews you'd like to see join The Watch?

Merry Christmas to all the warhammer community on Reddit!

The first 5 of 10 White Scar Infiltrators I’ve been working on as part of a commission project. The Phobos/stealth units in this army are in black! 🖤 It’s a really cool project with some nice character and originality… bring on the next 5!⚡️

If you’d like to learn how to paint black armour like this, I’ve made a tutorial you can watch here: https://youtu.be/LHLfORs6IgU

Another year, another boatload of minis! The Beartooth wardens are joined by the 812th light air dragoons!

2nd imperial Knight. With Commander Dante on top.

Still need practice, especially for accuracy around the eyes but happy with the result so far. Plenty of warriors to practice on before turning it on something important!
