About This Club
What happens when a group of Warhammer Hobbyists get together online to participate in this year's White Dwarf Bunker Bingo? What mayhem, chaos and xeno-sorcery shall spill forth? Get involved here!
Bunker Bingo is a score card that is tracked by a hobbyist throughout the year to record their painting and gaming achievemenrs, in competition with his/her fellow painters and players, to amass their forces and conquer/consume the galaxy (or their pile of grey!).
This club is for participant's in this year's Bunker Bingo Challenge, to share their score carss and evidence of achievements.
The prize? Glory, and painted minis!

I tend to do a before and after, so one pic at the start and one at the end; other people take WIP pictures so whatever way works for you! That's my understanding anyway and nobody has told me off yet -
Quick Q; Do I just show the finished goods, or include WIP's? -
These are ace, I've always loved these models. At least 3 of them could almost pass for High Elf Wizards/Mages/Sorcerers from WHFB of the 90's.
-
I love the black. Fully on board with a charcoal-blue-tinted-soft black over the GW eavy metal style of harsh highlights.
-
That's a great start and an excellent chapter, looking forward to seeing your progress. Welcome to the bunker bingo too!
-
Minotaurs Tactical Squad in the spray booth, will slap some coppery goodness on them tomorrow!

Bouargh’s Bunker Bingo 26
Bouargh replied to Bouargh's topic in Bunker Bingo 2026 Challenge!'s Pledges, Progress and Updates
And here come my first units to start filling the card: - Tactical Company - Veteran Company - 2 Devastator detachments, one Inquisitor and one Speeder detachment This will complete 2 entries for Rank & File and 1 entry for Elite What's next? I will wait for feb, but, staying with Epic, a Warlord as God of War entry is likely. I also have a full Land Raider Company, So, more Monsters and Machines. Yet, I do not have Psykers to complete the column. Yet...
-
Looking really great! For special units like these I think it's worth the time investment making them pop, you've definitely achieved that with those cloaks!
-
Thanks guys! I really appreciate that! Cloaks is something I've always "stumbled through" when painting and this is only the second time I've given glazing for cloaks a serious go. Today I finished the cloaks on the rest of them and I am happy with how they have come out too. 45 mins a cloak though... I'm going to be selective when painting the rest of this army which units I give that treatment to! -
You’re cranking them out! That Wave Serpent looks clean as heck. -
"Speed is the essence of war" Next up: wraithguard and farseer.
-
I agree, that red is just *chefs kiss*
-
That cloak is gorgeous -
Thank you, and I am indeed very excited! These guys are craftworld lugganath which are basically corsairs anyway so I'll definitely be leaning into those when they're released. I'm extremely interested in the Red Corsairs too, I can only hope they don't release at the same time
-
Half way through the month now and I am pleased with how these are coming along. I think it will be realistic to meet my goal of finishing a unit by the end of the month!
-
You are on fire, these are fantastic! I bet you must be stoked at the latest Aeldari releases! I'm thinking in particular the new flyer?
-
Guardians complete! Next up, wave serpent.
-
I’ve got the KT24 game board, I’ll pull that out and see how it looks with a soft ring lighting. Closer! Transfers and basing to go.
-
Fingers and toes crossed!
-
If you believe the astropaths, my shipment is on its way through the warp and should land on Monday, so I'll hopefully have something to show off by next weekend.
-
I have some of GW's hard cardboard game boards I use as a backdrop, these are great as they collapse down to A4 size but also expand to 8x that. These help as a less jumbled backdrop makes it easier to focus on the right thing. Another tip is to add a small torn corner of a white piece of paper the the edge of your pic. This can be cropped out later, but will provide a solid reference for colour balance / correction.
-
I use a cheap £10 lightbox off Amazon, they really help for pictures tbf as I'm a terrible photographer otherwise!
-
Whist I am no expert in lighting or photography, over the years I have learned a thing of two... I use a strip of high powered LEDs (daylight) stuck to the shelf above my painting desk, and a little clip on lamp with yellow light. That gives me sufficient lighting to paint. As for photographing minis, since I switched to an Android phone I still use my old iPhone for photographing my models because *whatever* I do, I cannot get a decent photo of my minis on an Android phone...
-
Excellent
-
I totally understand the dislike of bad lighting. All my pictures come out terrible. But I do have a solution. When I complete my 2,000 point army (based, decaled, etc.), I am going to get somebody with a real camera to take some quality photos of my army on display.
