It may not be gray but it still hurts: epic scale pile of shame

Maybe I'm too old and blind, but suddenly I got a mad desire to reduce my pile, starting with the first box ever, bought in 1989.

Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn from the large scale schirmish game

Still one if not The best Warhammer 40000 saga. At that time, having so large models was a blast and the contemporary publication of Dan Abnett's novels was an exceptional push to make the most of this controversial and fascinating character.

My Deathwing has strong roots

Strange how the story that made me start the collection of my Dark Angels has somehow been put aside but resists oblivion even among the new generations.

From the archive that I'm publishing 🤗

Still struggling to decide correct dimension of the pictures and sections organization, not easy to balance weight and readability through desktop and mobile. Currently focusing on plain clean pictures, I would add something more cinematic as a mixed gallery. Comment and advices are welcome 😊

Photographic technique of lightpainting applied to miniatures. The model does not have any type of LED. The Land Raider is photographed in the dark in long exposure and selectively illuminated with a small RGB flashlight

Know the origin

A little detective game: who can find the first documented example of a Sammael on jetbike painted with different colors than those of the Eavy Metal team box art? 🤓

Willing cousins

They sent him to train with our Ravenwing, sadly he failed to reach some standards. We are returning him with a courtesy ride :'D

old cousins

in 1997 a friend involved me in some Space Hulk games with home rules: one terminator each, in collaboration, against a DM who used the Genesteelers. These are some of his models that I later inherited. Soon after, we started an army of Dark Angels together and although he quit, the army grew for another 14 years. But that way of playing Space Hulk was great.

old brother in green

I led them into battle for 14 years, then they rested for another 14. Now I'm celebrating them with a small virtual museum. But I read that the Lion is back and so... Reporting to duty!

First post here and difficult flair choice

I was eager to partecipate but my first pick is a controverse one. The year should be slotta, but technically it is not. I hope not to mess at first step 😂, cheers

How old is your pile of shame?

At least it's not the RTB01 big box with green plastic​ ​but already 40k​. I painted only 2 of them some 28 years ago. ​And now? Must I paint them ​same old ​style or use what I learned through time?

Are these old enough to share?

Greetings, new to reddit, I'm currently archiving my old Dark Angels collection​, but can't resist to share some spare model here, hoping you can appreciate ☺️
