Sensational Paint Jobs to Make You Give Up the God-Emperor for the Greater Good (and Vice Versa)

The Kill Team: Chalnath boxed set is available now, featuring two full squads of special operatives and enough terrain to build your own little corner of the Imperium.* To celebrate, we sent some of the models out to some top painters to see what they could do.

Alison Kersley

We don’t think that anybody would be too upset if they got shot by Alison’s Marksman Pathfinder.** Having said that, the Novitiate Condemnor might disagree.

Amy Snuggs

White can be a tricky colour to get right, but not for Amy. And with perfect grey highlighting on his trousers, Amy’s Shas’ui Pathfinder looks like he’s just checking his messages to make sure this is definitely the place and time that he arranged to meet the rest of the gang.

Crystal McHaffie

Cyrstal’s Blooded Pathfinder and Novitiate are full of character. Just check out the detail in that text on that scroll.

Darcy Bono

Darcy’s Novitiate Militant is about to give that Transpectral Interference Pathfinder a very bad day – she’ll soon have another skull to add to her collection.

Jessica Smart

Hot on the heels of Jessica’s High Marshal Helbrecht and Emperor’s Champion come these brilliantly painted Kill Team models. The Novitiate would also fit perfectly in a Deathwing force.

Máryse Ouellet

Just after finishing their outstanding Warmaster Iconoclast for Adeptus Titanicus, Máryse started on something a little smaller – namely this Novitiate Purgatus and Marksman Pathfinder.

Nikki Sullivan

Nikki’s Novitiate Superior, Novitiate Reliquarius, Shas’ui Pathfinder, and Marksman Pathfinder all look great – which kill team would you join?

Pete Harrison

Pete’s Novitiate has clearly turned from the light of the God-Emperor and embraced the whispered promises of Slaanesh! Heresy never looked so good.

Thor Intararangson

Thor has stuck with the classic T’au Sept colour scheme, which is a classic for a very good reason.

Tyler Mengel

Tyler did such a great job painting Calthia Xandire that we had to let him loose on the Kill Team: Chalnath set too, and he didn’t disappoint with this astounding Blooded Pathfinder.

Vince Venturella

Vince has perfectly captured that moment when you meet someone from a dating app for the first time and you have to check their profile again before you realise that you misread “God-Emperor” as “Greater Good” under interests.

If you’re having trouble finishing off your own T’au Pathfinders and Adepta Sororitas Novitiates, check out our two step-by-step painting videos which focus on the details of the kits.

There’s still time to pick up your copy of Kill Team: Chalnath from the Games Workshop webstore. Make sure that you also check out the designers’ notes on the Pathfinders and Novitiates to get the best out of your special operatives on the tabletop.

* Whether you prefer to defend it in the name of the Emperor or claim it for the Greater Good is up to you.

** See how a Pathfinder sniper fights in the Black Library short story ‘The Kauyon’.
