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.

I think the cowl needs to be armor colored, first and foremost.

Looking good!

I've started using sponges for my vehicles, as the effect works really well for them.

Hobby finds a way! Very cool dude, I love seeing alternative methods. I'm very fond of using metallic sharpies to do things like trim. Much easier to control than a brush and makes trim very quick!

I actually really like the texture sponge painting creates. I'd to back in and do a second, lighter pass with a lighter color to creat some highlights but even without that it looks good.

I like the instant weathering I get but I wanted a darker seafoam green, I'm trying to do House Mamaragon, and these ended up looking closer to Sons of Horus Knights.

dig it, that's cool! I've onlt used sponges for stippling. For doing quick drybrushes on terrain I've been using makeup brushes, which can cover relatively large areas like your knight.

That looks great! How do you use sponges?
