Finally finished the whole group! From left to right: Inquisitor Coteaz, Interrogator, Sister of Battle, Scrollboi, Feral Worlder, Mystic, Servitor, Booksy the Book Skull, Joe Krabo, and "Daemonhost".

I'd painted up Coteaz years ago (and it's good I did because his new model sucks lol). Eventually they'll all be based in the same style as Coteaz but the texture paint I use is all dried up.

Close-ups of individual models in comments.

    Looks great! I want to get into WH40k mini painting next year after I finish my new furniture!

    Funny thing is that I'm not interested in playing the game at all, the appeal of 40K to me is the lore and the cool minis

      Extremely understandable, I play the game but it's not great.

      Just wanting to paint and collect is unfortunately a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you don't need to paint 30 basic infantry, which is good since they aren't very interesting, but on the other, most of the discount boxes come with those boring basic infantry, and GW is notorious for their ridiculous markups on the prices for heroes.

        Yeah, in fact, since I'm not interested in the game itself, I'm thinking it would be a much better idea for me in the long run to buy a resin 3D printer and print my own minis. I already have an FDM printer but it's too low-res for great looking miniatures.

      40k is just the tip of the iceberg of tabletop wargames. Even within 40k, there are multiple games (Necromunda, Inquisitor, Kill Team, etc.). There are even solo games you can play.

      The cool part about minis is you can use the same ones for different games, whether it's skirmish games or mass battles or RPGs.
