Hello there, everyone! I go by PainofLego, and ever since I was 12, I was always facinated with the warhammer hobby, but could never afford it. Fast forward to last april, and a pal of mine, who has collected 40k armies for years, decided, " Screw this, I got better armies, HERE!" To which he gave me his entire collection of Chaos Space Marines! So now I have been trying to paint up every unit that he has given me, an I wanted a place to show my work, which lead me here.
So everyone, when I am not busy being a lego enthusiast, I will slowly show what I got, and hope for feedback as I try to improve as a miniature painter, and war gamer.

They look pretty decent for your first models. Games Workshop's YouTube channel, Warhammer TV has some great painting tutorials on it if you're looking for some tips and tricks

Looking good! Are you going to do any basing or just leave them plain for the time being?

For the time being, as it. However when I can get the right paints and stuff, wanna try doing rubble as bases.

They look way better than my first attempts. I've always said if I had to pick another faction, I'd love to rock a Word Bearers army. Welcome to the hobby!
