Warhammer 40k

Big chunky boi. Has to be the heaviest plastic infantry model I have.

His multi piece cape sucks. You can’t see it in this pic but his right side is all messed up and I had to use miliput to fix it.

The Warhammer 40k film and TV series deal between Games Workshop and Amazon may fall apart this year, unless the two teams can “mutually” agree “creative guidelines” by December 2024. That’s according to new information revealed in Games Workshop’s annual financial report, published on Tuesday.

Games Workshop granted “exclusive rights to Amazon in relation to films and television series set within the Warhammer 40,000 universe” in an agreement announced in December 2023. Celebrity champion of Warhammer 40k Henry Cavill is attached to the project, both as an executive producer, and prospective star.

...

According to Games Workshop’s most recent annual report, it and Amazon Content Services LLC are spending the 12 months from December 2023 to December 2024 “working together” to “agree creative guidelines for the films and television series to be developed by Amazon”. The agreement between the firms “will only proceed if the creative guidelines are mutually agreed”.

...

The report states: “Failure to protect our IP may erode our competitive advantage and/or undermine our reputation, which will negatively impact our financial performance”. This refers both to the risk from unlicensed use of GW’s properties, and to licensed use that distorts or diminishes the brand.

The deal with Amazon also gives if the option “to license equivalent rights in the Warhammer Fantasy universe following the release of the initial Warhammer 40,000 production”.

It has been a while since this community has done a painting competition. I'd like to do another one, and get community input.

Right now, I am thinking of making it a single figure contest, no size rules, with submission and judging sometime in late September.

I've previously done trophies and small prizes, but since those are out of pocket costs for me, I've put myself in a corner with excessive shipping costs in the past, so I'm going to make the prize either much smaller or just make a digital record of the winner. I do want to encourage community participation and collaboration, and it is my hope that a painting competition can bring out some excitement that will create that among community members.

I'll leave this post up for a while, looking for interest levels and any suggestion for competition guidelines. More to come after.

Aaaaaaa so many moldlines I keep finding aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Over halfway done now. Trying slightly different things with each model but they still take a while for each model. I am happy with the overall Ymir color scheme though, just added the white to break up the red. Regret choosing to give their boots spats though.

Coming from the world of D&D where all my minis are basically just stored in tins and boxes loosely, I really don't want to do that with my first Warhammer army.

So that's basically why I'm asking, how do you folks store and transport your armies?

All my minis have steel discs glued to their bases to attach to my custom painting handle, so they can be magnetically attached to things.
