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.

On a recent project, I simply primed white, and some hard to reach parts of the model remained white, which I really disliked, because I spent a lot of time teaching these unpainted parts.
Zenithal makes the model white, while still leaving the hard to reach parts black, which registers to the eye as shadow and gives, in my opinion, a better result with less efforts. Contrast also makes the transition between white and black (light and shadow) really smooth and natural, even on brighter colours.
