A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
  4. No political or social cause agenda pushing.

Due to a surprising turn of events, I now have a heavy amount of pewter scouts.

I have enough scouts already for my classic marine army, so no need for me to paint them up for that. I'm thinking of using these scouts to do something interesting. Maybe convert some of them into a Necromunda gang? I don't know. I want to really do something neat with these minis.

A scout kill team is an option, metal models are harder to customize in my experience but they could be used as basing materials for your chaos/Xenos factions. You could also attempt trades with people who would want them to get things you’d like. They are nice models.

Forge them into a GOT style Iron Throne

Paint them as Helldivers!

Google "Helldivers 2 game", if you didn't get the reference

Exactly what you're supposed to do with scouts.

Get a 160mm base and put as many as you can in a diorama

Put them on hard to reach but visible places aroud town. You'll get a morale boost every time you'll pass one

Melt them down and make arrowheads, or musket balls.
