I promised a few people that I would show off some of my Warhammer40k sets but I was just too lazy to pick up the camera and take the sets off my shelf. Now, you guys know the place I work has these really cool cases for models, figures, or whatever.

This was my 1st one attempt. 2 Terminators painted in a new color scheme. My original army was red/gold. This round, I thought I'd have fun doing some Chaos-looking colors. These two are walking thru a jungle, looking for the survivors from a past mission. They do find the remains of one of the UltraMarines on the ground.


I think this was my 2nd set. I paint the back of the plastic to provide a background. These were my 2nd set of metal Space Marines I bought. I had them painted for some time, just didn't know what to do with them. Another jungle scene which are easier to build than urban sets, as you'll see below.


This set was based loosely on a professional set I saw. I took the old stairs from a dio, added a wall for the backdrop and fought materials trying to make a door. It's not just a regular build. You have to measure it so it meets the stairs. I love the debris of Tyranids on the ground, as if it were a last stand. The original set I saw had the Emperor putting a bad guy down.


Just an attack. I bought a set of Space Marines and a set of GeneStealers for these shots. Fairly inexpensive in the scheme of things. Note the background is supposed to look like... Well... It's just gray. Like a destroyed city but I don't have painting skills so I just hoped that it would all blend together like a city. lol


The idea behind this set was that the Space Marines was in the fuel tank of a spaceship. Or something close to that. I took a piece of cardstock, raised it slightly to resemeble a walkway and the green thingys on the wall are supposed to look like energy cells or y'know... Like walking around the engine room of the Enterprise D. Or E. YOu can barely see it, but the ground is green. Supposed to resemble plasma energy or something of the sort. Much like the walkway in the water tank on the Battlestar Galactica. (the one where Boomer blows a hole in the tank and the BSG loses a ton of water into space.)

Nice work G!

I'm into 40K as well.....currently working on Black Templar Space Marines and Cadien Shock Trooper IG's..including two resin super-heavies! ( Baneblade and Stormblade ).

Also,I have an Imperial Navy Valkyrie,and a Marauder Bomber!


Cheers!

I'm getting tempted to get out all my Space Marines, Tyranids, Genestealers (from back in the days of Hybrids and Patriarchs...), Imperial Agents (Inquisitor, Assassins, Adeptus Arbites...) and Eldar that are collecting dust in various places around my room, actually finish painting some of them, and take some pics...

I got Kody started with Space Marines. I'm doing a... uh... I think it's MidNite Blue and Bronze palette. I don't have a name for them, but the idea is that they are the precursors to the THousand Sons. Maybe they are Blue and Gold and when they go CHaos, the head bad dude changes their colors to bronze.

For me, I'm doing a whole different army. It's not far along and I'm way behind on painting. Tau. Doing a Scorpion Green army. I have 1 squad of warriors painted up and half a squad of Kroot. I have another squad of warriors just sitting and gathering dust.

i've turned my self pretty much against warhammer and D&D cuz my cousins husband liked them and he was nothing but an @$$hole, not that you are sonneilon but i'm just saying, there really expensive and take up alot of GI Joe room
