Gift for husband?

Hello! I'm having a hard time finding my husband something for Christmas. He LOVES 40k. He has multiple armies, the ones I know he likes the most is the space marines and the tyranids. He already has a magnetic traveling case, dice bag, and way too much terrain. I'm not sure what other warhammer things to get him. What are some other things that you guys like using for the game?

Executioners / World Eaters

Am I able to have a World Eaters army but painted as Imperial Fist successor chapter Executioner colour scheme with the idea they fell to Chaos during the Badab War (a splinter faction of the main lot who came back as loyalists ) ?

I’m not really into the tabletop but wouldn’t want to paint a useless army ? I would obviously paint world eaters models but just have the inspired colour scheme for the models be inspired by executioners ?

Who wants to help name this creation?!

So I like kitbashing, I like flyers, but when I saw the various models I couldnt help but spend extra to make something else. Two flyers later a plan for normandy stripes and some priming with satin black. I end up with this lovely flyer that is being my Stormraven.

What do you guys think? What do we call it? What colors do you think I should give it?

PAN flag colour scheme for armies?

Hi there!

As the title suggests Im pan and I would love to paint an army with the same colours as the flag.

I once did a couple of Old World Empire soldiers in this colour scheme and they actually looked very good! And now im looking to get a new army for 40K other than my Nurglefied Traitor Guard.

My main idea was Aeldari since they would paint their armour that colour and it would fit nicely even for inlore reasons aaand they were one of my intro armies into 40K back in Dawn Of War and I love their lore.

Second idea was maybe Votann. I have a couple of infantry that I converted into gobbos that stole Votann equipment and I might paint them with said colour scheme.

Third idea was SM but im not a big fan of bright colours on power armour.

Other ideas? Thanks in advance!

“Truth be told, if you’re looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.”

A Master of Executions as the first character model for my fallen band of Raven Guard, the Nevermourn. Taking their primarch’s hatred of tyranny to its logical extreme, these rebels scour the galaxy in their holy quest to free mankind from the corpse god’s shackles—with a little help from the Changer of Ways, perhaps…
