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.

These are getting crushed under a titan's foot as it steps on them, thus the sledgehammer to simulate weight at scale. I just can't decide if they need to be more crushed, or if this reads as "just stepping on to".
I think if thats the case, it may be helpful to try and get the shape of the titans foot as a more clearly defined imprint in the center of the crushed area across all the crates. But as it is it is mostly fine for "this was crushed by something" and you can repurpose it later for other stories too.

The size of the foot is making that difficult, so I pivoted to just "general crushiness" but I still want it to visually translate.
I understand. Im not saying the whole outline of the foot should be present, just something that can pass as a partial print, if I am explaining correctly. Overall it is fine as it is, as perhaps the foot print can be more defined with paint, or more dirt or wear on the place where the foot contacted the crate.
@thatdamnelf @RightHandOfIkaros This is one of the neatest questions I've seen on here.
What you have there is great.
I think nonuniform crushing would be worth a look. If you look at footsteps in sand or mud, the pressure isn't uniform. Toe off is the most pressure typically. Also, some crates will squash flat.
