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
- 10th Edition Rules
- iOS Warhammer 40k App
- Android Warhammer 40k App
- 3rd party site for running Kill Team games

I read the title and expected a photo of my ex wife, but it’s not far off!
Joking aside, excellent job on the painting, you must have put in a lot of effort to get this good and it’s just awesome quality work!
A lot of this was just thinking about color choices really. The genestealer has some gradient drybrushing and then a homemade ink wash on the armor. The skin is just pink with purple wash.
The basing is an urban scheme I’ve been honing in on in other projects, using some subdued blue tones worked up to grey, and some Vallejo rust wash traced into all the details.
