20 years ago I used to love painting "little metal men" and playing the very first edition of what was to become the hugely successful Warhammer 40K game, so recently I decided to revisit my youth. So far this has consisted of going out and buying some minis, and then wonderful-wife going out and buying ALL THE MINIS IN THE WORLD, and a selection of paints and brushes. With a couple of hours each weekend to paint them, this is going to take a while. There they sit in the corner now... looking at me... judging me... Anyway, one thing that I've found motivational is the wealth of pictures and "how to" guides on other painters' blogs, so I decided to post some of my own humble efforts here. Hope you like 'em.

    Nice work mate - the blue has come up really well and I love the purple on the helmet - nice touch.

    Thanks RP, trying to put a bit of purple on all of the aspect warriors to tie in with the Altansar Craftworld theme... which means I'm going to have to go back and give a banshee some purple hair

    Impressive work. The shades of blue are very well done.

    Thanks Fayte - that blue is a lot more forgiving than all the yellow I've had to do on my orks recently so it's been like a holiday! - have finished the rest of the squad now so will take some new pics soon.
