Let it be known! Samantha and I had a competition painting our first Warhammer 40k miniatures and after a busy two weeks of her working on her art business and me fixing stuff around the house that shouldn’t be broken – we’re done. We wanted to let you decide who you thought did the best (vote for Chris!)
The rules were short and sweet:
- Only five days of actual painting were allowed (due to art commissions, Samantha had nowhere as much free time to paint as I did.)
- The paints had to come from the Citadel Hobby Starter Set.
- The loser has to base coat all the other miniatures.
Here are the pictures! Who do you think did a better job? Vote in the comments.


At the risk of seeming biased, my vote falls with Chris’ Chaos Space Marine. The colors are very striking and fitting for that particular piece in my opinion.

Both great paint jobs but Samantha’s librarian takes it I think- that cloak is superb

Yeah… She did a great job with shading and detail.
