My friend (and pro painter,) Eli from Away Games and Mayhem Miniature Painting, had a fun challenge to paint the same model for each other's army. I painted this Primaris Phobos Lieutenant in Ultramarines colors and he's painting a Salamanders Lieutenant for me.  I'm pretty proud of this guy, I hope Eli likes it and I can't wait to see what he's done for me!  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #new40k #spacemarines #astartes #ultramarines #ultramarines40k 

"My flag means, desth!" I made a quick "Oath of Moment" marker. I'm tempted to write, "Oath" or "Death" on the skull's forehead. What do you think?  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #spacemarines40k #adeptusastartes #astartes 

Another test model for my homebrew Space Marine chapter, the Gargoyles. I'm not quite happy with the black though... I love the Crusader models from the Black Templars and this guy doesn't have any other overt conversions. I'm still on the fence about switching away from my silver and green color scheme that I painted my Deathwing models. I may paint one more test figure before I start army painting. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #homebrewchapter #spacemarines40k #astartes #adeptusastartes 

Waaagh! My first Rogue Trader-era Space Ork for #orktober in proud, Deathskull colors! He's also my entry to Midwinter Minis #sporktober23 contest. He's not a real contender, but he was such a joy to paint. I even gave him a jack-o-lantern ork skull on one shoulder pad. I plan on taking him off the goblin green base and putting him on a 32mm son that I can still game with him in 10th edition. #sporktober23 #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #roguetrader #orks40k #spaceorks #deathskulls #Warhammer40k 

WIP of my Yncarne model after two painting sessions. It was a tough build but I'm enjoying the painting process. There's something freeing about painting an abstract idea, like an energy construct - there are no rules or painting guide; I'm just kind of going for it and I like how it's turning out. I normally don't add basing materials until the end, but I was basing some other models so I just started gluing, and here we are.  #wip #Warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #eldar #aeldari #yncarne 

This model broke me. I've been painting and assembling models for more than 30 years and the Yncarne may be the worst. Not to mention the instructions aren't the best.  I mean, I almost want to give up my Eldar... What's the hardest model you've assembled?  #eldar #aeldari

It was a blast to revisit these classic Space Marines for the #90smarinechallenge. Here's my finished battle brother from my favorite chapter, the Salamanders, complete with period accurate base!  At the time, the 'Eavy Metal Salamanders were a much darker green and I suspect that was to make them stand out from the goblin green bases.
