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.

Looking good.
From personal experience - don’t glue the whole Skitarii together until its painted. Helps get into all those little details cleanly.
Nice work though
Duly noted for the future, thanks!
Hey, it’s a little hard to tell in the photo, but what kind of color or feel are you going for on the robe? The picture unfortunately desaturates it a bit.
Some black wash on the rebreather would help. I prefer painting metallics over black, but for speed washing black onto metal works great.
When you’re doing troops, best thing is assembly line. Once you’re good at it, even a few fine detail paint flourishes on the models won’t slow down the work flow of a squad. I recommend double sided tape from a hardware store, and something to use as a painting handle. I get a lot of mileage out of Coca-Cola brand plastic bottle caps and large plastic juice caps. But anything you can get a lot of and that is roughly the right size will work. Using painting handles very much improves paintjobs, and using DIY ones is cheaper than buying a dozen Citadel brand handles.
