I’ve been warhammering one way or another for a little over 20 years, in that time I’ve started a handful of armies (always imperial, because aliens and heretics are filthy) and as of today I’ve finally managed to actually finish my pile of shame. This is the first playable army I’ve had, as my potato attention span and inability to sit still long enough to get anything done has meant I buy boxes of stuff and it collects dust for a decade (or two)

Astartes are great, but there’s something about a normal unmodified man facing down endless hordes of monsters for his emperor and family that just resonates with me.

They’re by no means ‘eavy metal quality, but I’m pretty proud of my loyal guardsman (yes that’s right, I’m old and I refuse to conform to astra whateveritis, you’re in the guard son)

Congratulations!

A finished army and completed pile of shame is a real accomplishment. May your guardsmen always hold the line.

Those look really nice! I love their clean look (which is probably the first thing that is lost when they join battle!)

Your army looks great. I'm sure it looks even better through the lens of having wrapped up a 20 year project 😁
Do you have a couple of closeups of your favourite pieces?
