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.

Completed Sacresant Superior

Finished her up in time for the painting contest hosted by @[email protected] Good amount of detail but easy to pick out and bring to a satisfying level.

Lol, I had to force myself to give up helmets to need to practice faces.

It helps a lot when the heads can be painted separately so I focus only on the face. Plus I just don't do eyes unless the model really needs them because I found eyes are most of the difficulty so I only invest in it when I really need to.

Flesh contrast, flesh shade, flesh highlight is the basic recipe. Just different combinations and colors each time.
