Inspiration for creativity can strike at any moment and is always fun to embrace especially when creating your own Warhammer 40,000 regiment or squad, whether it's Space Marines, Astra Militarum, Sisters of Battle, Necrons, Orks, the list goes on. In this fun tutorial, we show you how we created our very own regiment inspired by my other hobby...any guesses lol?

We show you how to approach creating your own home brew regiment or squad from thinking about conversions and kit-bashing including doing some simple sculpting to colour schemes. So go grab your bitz boxes and let's get creative.

If you have any great ideas for 40K regiments inspired by history or just sound cool then let us know in the comment section, we'd love to hear from you.
