I'm on schedule to finish my backlog of minis by the start of July, which puts me just in time to start a new project when my birthday comes around, and I am thinking something 40k would be fun. However, I am not sure what to get. I know I want something different from what i have done so far. Any suggestions for a fun project would be super appreciated!

The warhammer minis I've been working on (with some thoughts on them because why not):
Soulblight gravelords battleforce

Deathwalker zombies: Great models but I don't want to put together 40 of any one unit ever again.

Deathrattle skeletons: like the zombies but even harder to build. Painting was great, building was a nightmare.

Blood knights: Simple cool sculpts that paint up well.

Lauka vai: still working on her but such a fantastic sculpt, I love giant monsters and weird things that are uniquely warhammer. My favorite looking individual model.

varghiests: Nice big models that I could experiment on, I really liked these.

Ork kommandos: so much fun to paint! lots of personality and just big enough to really add detail to.

Veteran gaurdsmen: I was surprised by how much I liked these, they build quick and have a lot of character, pretty simple to paint as well! Though I am glad I only had to do 10.

Imperium magazine first 2 months

ultramarines: Just an all around good time, I like anachronism and these fit the space knight vibe I love perfectly. I didn't expect to like them as much as I did. Airbrushing inks on them looks really good and is a ton of fun.

Necrons: the fastest models to paint up, I really love the techno-organic look! I think these are prob my best paint jobs.

Dominion stormcasts: Great models that painted up quick and look amazing, but I do feel like I just kinda painted the same model 20 times.

Dominion Kruleboyz: I JUST started on these but so far they are SO COOL! good variety in weapons and pose, contrast paint works wonders on them

Any ideas for what might be a good next project to work on? I am looking for something that would be fun but also pretty diffrent from what I have worked on so farl

Thank you for any suggesitons you have!

Oh that would be a ton of fun! I don't think the new box will be available then, but a chaos knight would be a great model to try out!!

Try the new Avatar. The molten metal primal god thing sounds like it would be fun.

Oh that would be rad!! That is a super cool model! I love that article on warhammer comminty that showed all the diffrent ways people painted him https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/03/22/amazing-painters-tackled-the-avatar-of-khaine-the-results-are-almost-too-hot-to-handle/
