Rear view of the Winged Prime standing on a grey base, showing the red carapace plates down the spine and the two outstretched wings. Bone-white legs and claws frame the tail as it curls between them.

Rear-right view of the Winged Prime with wings spread, highlighting the brown wing membranes and bone struts. The red head crest and purple tongue are visible in profile above the grey base.

Here’s the Prime. This one was a struggle and didn’t quite match what I had in my head… but done is done. Next up: the Techmarine, then it’s finally display time. Kinda terrified I’ll mess it up, so… time to just commit. #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #ArmyOnDisplay #Tyranids

Front view of a painted Imperial Fists Sergeant on a plain grey base, running forward with a hazard-striped chainsword raised. He has weathered yellow armor with red trim, a bare shouting head, and a blue-glowing plasma pistol in his left hand.

Left-side view of the same Sergeant mid-stride, chainsword lifted overhead and plasma pistol lowered. Weathered yellow Imperial Fists armor with red shoulder trim and a clenched-fist shoulder badge; a red helmet hangs from his belt.

Rear view of the Sergeant running away from the camera, showing backpack vents, brown belt pouches, and the red helmet on his belt. The plasma pistol has a blue glow effect, and the chainsword is raised behind him.

Front three-quarter view of the Sergeant charging forward, chainsword raised and plasma pistol at his side. Weathered yellow armor with red aquila and shoulder markings, on an unpainted grey base.

Here’s the Brother Sergeant… and that’s Assault Intercessors 5/5. Pretty pleased with how he turned out. Next: paint a Winged Prime, a Techmarine, and build the display. Only three months left. No pressure 😅

Probably the best Battle Brother I’ve managed so far, really happy with how he turned out. @darcybonocreations.bsky.social‘s Imperial Fists weathering tutorial was a massive help, can’t recommend it enough. Base will follow once the #ArmyOnDisplay display is done, so it matches. #WarhammerCommunity

9/10 Gaunts ready.
Too much adulting the last two weeks, so these three took a while. Terrain is moving along too… in small steps 😂 currently reprinting half the support poles because the building got way too wobbly. #ArmyOnDisplay #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

6/10 Hormagaunts for #ArmyOnDisplay are done. Their poses are stupidly dynamic… I love it. Now I need to find a few Space Marines who can match that energy.Terrain is making progress too. I may have gone a bit overboard, but hey… I can always make the building smaller later. #WarhammerCommunity

Terrain is printing… I’m picturing a partially collapsed building, 2–3 Space Marines, getting swarmed by Nids.
Let’s see if I can pull this off… I may be slightly underestimating the work here 😅 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #PaintingChallenge

A grey plastic Tyranid Hormagaunt sprue from the Typhon box lie on a blue cutting mat, with the assembly instructions visible underneath on a hobby desk.

I really thought I was done painting Tyranids for a while after the Raveners… but for #ArmyOnDisplay it’s gonna be Nids again. I’ve still got the Typhon Box Hormagaunts, and honestly I should probably bring an army whose scheme I actually know. So… here we go again 😁
