My Partner's Little Brothers Are Also Into Warhammer, So I Decided To Make Them Each A Leader For Their

My partner's little brothers are also into Warhammer, so I decided to make them each a leader for their favorite factions for Christmas

The base is one of the fancy hero bases GW made a while back, glad to finally have found a use for this one

I do love Tau, but I'd want to do so many weird auxiliaries I'd forget all about the battlesuits

So I've spent the last month or so getting a little too into Lancer, I could rant about how amazing it is but just go check it out if you're not familiar. Anyways I'm making some of the NPC mechs, mainly out of free 3d print files I found online. Here's my first Assault mech, the generic shooty one

Slapchopped some DnD NPCs for a recent module, the drybrushing gets old fast doing batches but the actual color bit is quite fun, like color by numbers

I think these are all Reaper metals, on bases I printed. If you're looking to try slapchop yourself, get some makeup brushes, they're probably my favorite for getting good transitions

Found a cute little spider tank that I'm making our Bombard. Seems purpose built to hassle people who use the Bonded trait or stack auras, which is fun, and this dopey lil guy looks about speed 2

A little Art vs Artist to end the year. I'm pretty happy with how much I got done this year, and at how far I've managed to come. I've been helping a friend get started with miniature painting, and finding some of the old Starship Troopers minis I painted almost 15 years ago has really put into perspective how much experience I really have at this point. I think my main goal for 2024 is actually finishing a whole army for myself. Usually they end up being sold or were commission from the get go. Maybe videos? Idk that's a lot, and I'm lazy

Here's to another 15

Alright I implied Maleceptors next but the Neurolictor called to me. What do we think of Hive Fleet Callinectes for the name?

This one's the actual GW model, since I'm not a fan of what I was able to find for free online, and my FLGS had one at a good price. Base is still a print tho

I do like these new tyranid sculpts, I should probably get the codex eventually... maybe once I hit 1k painted

Okay now actually on to the Maleceptors. Maybe. Unless I get distracted and do something else instead
