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
- Keep it civil.
- No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
- 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.
- No political or social cause agenda pushing.
Helpful Links

The poor old White Scars were put out of reach for me by GWs old Tip-Ex-like white paint. Despite what the guides might have said, there is no way that the models were base-coated with the Skull White of the time.
Even today, handpainting white with some proper shading is tricky. The GW painting guides of all eras tend to leave out a lot when it comes to tutorials that are supposed to mimic the boxart.
