Hi guys! I've noticed after finishing my Ork and Imperial guard army, i havn't got the spirit to paint anymore. They've sucked all of my power .
What should i do? Start a grey knight army where there is 17 models? Maybe a high elite Blood angels army? How do i get things up?
Painting does not feel so good anymore... after all, i painted 478 models. Yup.

Just give it some time. Do something else 40K related that's not painting and you may feel like painting again.

Or drop everything and do something completely not 40K-related and you will probably end up either missing 40K and coming back to it, or having a nice short break to come back refreshed.

Unless you have a dead line there is no reason to rush it.

get down your local gaming shop.see what other people have been working on and talk to hobbyists about their ideas etc.works for me everytime.

Sacrifice a bottle of paint each day to the paint god until he blesses you with your desire. Paint for the paint god! Brushes for the brush throne!

But somewhat less seriously, maybe pick a project that is purely for fun. Pick a single character or large detailed monster that you can make into a labor of love. An example might be a Horus Heresy character like a primarch, or a big daemon.

You could try to make your own terrain or gaming table for a change. Otherwise, just have a damn busy shedule. Once you're sufficiently stressed out, you'll long for the quiet hours with a brush in your hand.

I watch painting tutorial vids on youtube. Generally works like a charm.
