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

I'm always amazed by how steady everyone's hands are that paint these.
Mine would be like a toddlers crayon doodle.
You ever type out a whole reply only to realise the person you're replying to wasn't asking for advice?
Anyways, besides just getting more experience, the best trick I've found is to find a way to brace both of your elbows while you paint. For me, this is usually by leaning back in my chair and bracing against my sides or knees. There's also a lot of edges that you can paint by using the side of the bristles instead of the tip, which gives a wider margin of error.
Thanks for listening to my paint ramblings I'm too deep into this hobby haha
