Warhammer 40k

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

  1. Keep it civil.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. 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.
  4. No political or social cause agenda pushing.

The poor old White Scars were put out of reach for me by GWs old Tip-Ex-like white paint. Despite what the guides might have said, there is no way that the models were base-coated with the Skull White of the time.

Even today, handpainting white with some proper shading is tricky. The GW painting guides of all eras tend to leave out a lot when it comes to tutorials that are supposed to mimic the boxart.
