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.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've been impressed with all the Vallejo paints I've used so far, but never tried the metallics. I'll pick up a bottle of the Mecha color.

Troll slayer is bold! I had some Wild Rider lined up but I'll grab someone even brighter and try pushing the highlights further.

I figure this squad will be kitted as shock troops. Although I reserve some artistic license around the edges because the banner needs to be used even if Shock Troops don't get to take a Standard. Maybe I can swap that guy out later if I do a Command Squad.

When I say a gentle application of shock orange I mean gentle. The youtuber fad of using makeup brushes isn’t a lie. I picked up some cheap ones and they are great for doing light and precise application.

A banner trooper is a must for a feudal force.
