sitnam Posted December 4, 2025 Author Share Posted December 4, 2025 23 hours ago, Dr_Ruminahui said: Yes, I did - I gave him a quartered scheme in my army colour and a dark red/burgundy (GW's screamer pink). Background wise, my EC are relatively recent traitors from a variety of loyalist chapters (basically, the bulk of marines in a warzone) who launched a coup against their incompetent warzone commander... which snowballed into their decent into chaos. Along the way, they free an EC demon prince bound during the scouring, who converts them to worshipping Slaanesh - my EC codex force is those who follow the prince's teaching most closely , while my Heretic Astartes codex force are those who don't. So my force are more EC through the backdoor., rather than being directly descended from the HH EC or having their geneseed Love this background. I too am an enjoyer of Renegade Chapters, and it's always fun seeing warbands that break the mold of the original traitor legions. Your Slaanesh army really reminds me of my Tzeentch army every time I see it, although I think your more marine focused whereas I prefer mortals.

Lord_Ikka Posted December 5, 2025 Share Posted December 5, 2025 I think mine was Gulliman. Not because he was the biggest or most intricate model I did this year, but because he was the first time I really tried to do flames and I think it worked pretty well. It definitely made me more confident about them going forward.

Valkia the Bloody Posted December 5, 2025 Share Posted December 5, 2025 I had been on a 2 year hiatus from the hobby. One thing that brought me back was reading and listening to some Black Library books, among them "Cult of the Spiral Dawn" by Peter Fehervari. In this book, genestealers ride into battle on top of sentinels. This sounded very cool. I needed this. This is one of the reasons I started a Tyranid army (I wanted lots of big monsters, a genestealer cult army is too "horde" for me) and I did a conversion of a genestealer hybrid riding a sentinel (Proxy of a Pyrovore). So this is my model of the year. I had a lot of fun with it.

sitnam Posted December 7, 2025 Author Share Posted December 7, 2025 @Lord_Ikka Flame effects are really fun to work on. In the past I've used contrast paints for the effect. I also love Dark green Guilliman @Valkia the Bloody GSC to Tyranid proxies are always really cool. Though... Spoiler The scene where the Ogryn pull the Genestealer into their transport and beat the hell out of it is my favorite from that novel gaurdian31, Firedrake Cordova, Lord_Ikka and 1 other 3 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387195-your-model-of-the-year-2025/page/2/#findComment-6145761 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted December 8, 2025 Share Posted December 8, 2025 Some belters here ladies and gents! This is mine.

sitnam Posted December 9, 2025 Author Share Posted December 9, 2025 @Tzen Can't say I love Fulgrim as a model, he is one of the weaker Daemon Primarchs to me alongside Angron. That said, you did a fantastic job! I have never painted a face that well. I would of cowardly chose his helmet option so I wouldn't have to paint his face Firedrake Cordova, gaurdian31 and Lathe Biosas 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387195-your-model-of-the-year-2025/page/2/#findComment-6146030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lathe Biosas Posted December 9, 2025 Share Posted December 9, 2025 I just really like my kit bashed pewter Tzeentch-thing. It might be my favorite model of the past few years.

Honestly, the Daemon Primarchs are perfect for giving faces a real go, as they are so big, you can get into them nice and easy!

Brother Christopher Posted December 10, 2025 Share Posted December 10, 2025 Even though it's not my best-painted model, for me, it has to be my plasticard Thuderhawk that I realised I finished this year.

Alby the Slayer Posted December 28, 2025 Share Posted December 28, 2025 The images are not great(taken from a video) but for me my model of the year is the Abbadon diorama. It was fun to model and paint. I like how the modified rack on his back came out and the fact that during the "creation" the base cracked(it's made of natural wood), so I came with the idea of the of lava fissure.

sitnam Posted December 29, 2025 Author Share Posted December 29, 2025 @Alby the Slayer love a good diorama, I wish I had the basing skill to do something like that. @gaurdian31 I knew I recognized those heads, the old traitor guard stuff was so well done.
