Overview

Thank you! I wanted to do the WE mid heresy scheme but pure white sounds like hell, so I'm saying after a certain amount of blood no amount of washing will fully get rid of the stains

@Brother Anderson I guess Nurglings are the way to go for Chaos Knights to have some tough small help, but I think I want to paint up some traitor guard as little footmen. Little purple or gold armored schmucks dodging around hahaha. That would be above mid pack palate cleanse. @mini_painting_mike Me too usually. I tried it with my stingwings and ended up just not painting them for like six months as they sat subassembled. I’m gonna try and knock out the assembled one today and we’ll see how much harder it is to do parts of it. Will report back.

Dang, Marines on Bloodcrushers look sick as hell. Also I really like the off white WE armor color.

That's one unit completed, three Bloodcrushers finished as my first unit of the year. Work continues on the Hell Blade conversion but it's going to be a bit of a slow burn I think, so I've made a start and primed the Eldar farseer and warlocks set that had an MTO last year. I figure I'll add my bingo card to the first post for ease of reference.

That looks epic!

I never have the patience for sub assemblies - bravo to you for doing it! It will lead to a better result in the end I'm sure!

Nice one! Great to see some OOP bits here too! Thst sounds sensible to me I shall take it to the High Lords... *shuffle shuffle*

Well, I've got my 3d printed carry case/display case to paint up... My Harakoni Warhawks are being assembled... I'm visiting the Warhammer store tomorrow for the Servitor - It will be a Servo-Sentry for my Kill Team (not a huge fan of the 4 legged model). Let's see... I have some Space Marines, but I can't decide how I want to build it, or what to buy (I have a push-fit Judiciar, Chaplain, 3 × Eradicators, 3 × Bladeguard Veterans, and an Bladeguard Ancient).

It's cracking value but I definitely recommend having something else to do in the middle of them haha. Sons of Mammon is a perfect name for a band of gold War Dogs, that's fantastic

I have been eyeballing that battle force box, they have one at a local game store tucked back on a shelf and I can’t justify the expense, YET. It would cut down on the magnetizing to be done hahaha. I am thinking of a Dreadblade squad instead of a house. Lots of gold, some purples and muted colors with a metallic black trim. Keeping the horns a bone white too, I think. Going with ‘Sons of Mammon’ for the name. Mentally thinking of them as a style of biker gang mercenary team pledged to Chaos Undivided.

I'm glad you got on well with building them! I made the mistake of trying to build that battleforce of seven of them all at once: that way madness lies . Do they have a house they belong to?

Alright, that’s two War Dogs primed, one sub assembled and one assembled, both primed and base coats started. hoping to shade some good today and layer the second. Aside from some fiddly small bits, these were much easier to build than I expected. A large amount of pieces was offset by the sheer size of them.

Hi all, As a first job I will start with some ooP Epic stuff. There will be 2 Devastator cards btw. I am not too sure how it fits in the matrix, but I may propose that each Company accounts for a Battleline Entry and all the rest combined as an Elite Entry.

They are indeed! They're MDF shapes and they're really cheap, I picked up a bag from AliExpress for for a couple of quid.

Are those gears on the basis? Where did you get those??

While waiting for milliput to dry for the hell blade I converted up and primed some Bloodcrushers for my world eaters, I prefer having marines rather than bloodletters riding them because it ties them in to the rest of the army.

Yeah, GW contrasts

Ah nice one! That death guard is suitably disgusting! Are you using Citadel contrast paints or Army Painter Speed Paints? Looking forward to seeing this progress!

If I'm getting credit for it, I should post the proof, here is my KT '25 Death Guard Marine, I will be adding details to the base once the full 5 are complete. My focus for January will be the Primarisized Ezekiel I started way back in .... February The blue of the armour is basically done, but everything else is just a contrast base. I have since "found" a cheap resin Ezekiel to pilfer his sculpted back banner, and have attached that.

Isn't that pretty much a pre-requisite of The World Eater's?! That looks like a really interesting project, looking forward to seeing it progress!

Hello all and happy new year! Really looking forward to this, it'll be great to keep track of what I've actually done in a year and I'm really looking forward to seeing what everybody gets up to! I am definitely guilty of being a hobby butterfly so I can't predict what I'll be working on in a few weeks let alone for the entire year, so this thread might be a bit of a tour of the 40k universe more than a coherent army. I'm an incorrigible converter so those are highly likely to be a feature of my entries, which is either creative or a pathological inability to follow instructions depending on your point of view To kick things off I'm planning on converting/scratchbuilding a hell blade fighter for my world eaters, based on the wing blade things from the Heldrake and the turret from a stormraven gunship. It's early days yet but I've laid out the bones of the idea on my hobby desk: Whether or not I paint this in my world eater colours or my traitor guard scheme is an open question at the moment. Bingo card updated 3rd Jan:

Starting this month I am looking to spruce up a Black Templar's Crusade to hit the table top in 11th edition next year! You can check out my first entry on the club here! @ggergnayr has confirmed he will be working on some war dogs that he got for Grotmas from Da Red Gobbo, before moving on to a DeLaque specialisr box he wants to complete for a Necromunda campaign he is currently partaking in. We wish him the most destructive luck for his gangers in the underhive! Additionally, Ggergnayr aims to try his hand at Combat Patrol this year - good luck! @Lathe Biosas is celebrating receiving his December 2025 copy of The White Dwarf whilst it is still December 2025 - just! Upon an inspiring review of his Bingo Card found in the issue he has decided to convert his own Harakoni Warhawks from Tempestus Aquilons and Kasrkin boxes. It's making me think some bonus points should exist for conversions... I'll take that under review... Then as if that isn't enough already, he then wants to start a Space Marine collection later in the year. He hasn't decided which chapter yet... so maybe some of the exciting new lore coming out now might inspire him? Stay tuned to find out! @Grotsmasha has set off already with painting a Death Guard marine from the 2025 Kill Team Starter set, and is aiming his tactical approach to this challenge by focussing on Games Workshop's boxed games like Space Marine Adventures, Combat Arena, Kill Team and Blackstone Fortress to get the most out of his Painting and Gaming points throughout the year. I wonder if his Death Guard will come full circle and the end of his year will be Desth Guard like the start? Who knows?! @Valkyrion is going big, committing to a whole Minataurs collection to see him into 11th edition. Rumours swirl that he is awaiting an order of exclusive shoulder pads to mint them! In the mean time, he is preparing a Rhino for his new marines to thrust into the heart of battle. Woah! Phew! That's a lot of hobbying! Players - share your Bingo projects with the world with your own threads on the Pledges, Progress and Updates tab! Remember, there you can score your bonus points! Let's go!

I'm excited. I don't know 100% what this following year is going to hold for me both in life and in the hobby, but I have some clear goals and good things - God Willing - happening. Going into this challenge front and centre for me is the starting of a new Black Templar's army, that I am planning to tie into the upcoming 11th edition release in 2026 (whatever may unfold in the game thereupon!). Prior to the start of this challenge I painted a Black Templar's Redemptor Dreadnaught and a Black Templar's Primaris Lieutenant. For now I am working on the Sword Bretheren and Castellan unit, which I am aiming to complete and score on my bingo card by the end of the January month! Pics coming soon! My long term strategy for this challenge will be to purchase and paint the key Black Templar Units that I don't foresee being in the 11th edition box set (whenever that will be released!), then hoping to leverage the 11th edition box sex contents to pad it out into a semi decent list that I can use to play games and earn more bingo points that way towards the end of the year. But... you know what they say about battle plans and contact with the enemy? Let's see how it goes! Proof pics for by Sword Bretheren I've started painting for the challenge to follow!
