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.

What's the hairspray and salt chipping method?
@twotonebax
Paint your "underlayers" - as seen here it's bare metal & rust.
Varnish the model and let that dry for 24+ hours.
Then get some hairspray and salt, "prime" the entire model with a thick coat of hairspray; while it's still wet sprinkle salt all over it so the salt sticks to the hairspray. Let dry for an hour.
Paint the model whatever color you want the model to be when done.
Once that's dry using an old toothbrush and hot water, rub away at the salt, it'll dissolve and come loose.
