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.

Perfect, thanks dude!
Looking good.
From personal experience - don’t glue the whole Skitarii together until its painted. Helps get into all those little details cleanly.
Nice work though
But painting Battleline-Units in subassemblies is just pain 🥲
Duly noted for the future, thanks!
Hey, it’s a little hard to tell in the photo, but what kind of color or feel are you going for on the robe? The picture unfortunately desaturates it a bit.
Some black wash on the rebreather would help. I prefer painting metallics over black, but for speed washing black onto metal works great.
When you’re doing troops, best thing is assembly line. Once you’re good at it, even a few fine detail paint flourishes on the models won’t slow down the work flow of a squad. I recommend double sided tape from a hardware store, and something to use as a painting handle. I get a lot of mileage out of Coca-Cola brand plastic bottle caps and large plastic juice caps. But anything you can get a lot of and that is roughly the right size will work. Using painting handles very much improves paintjobs, and using DIY ones is cheaper than buying a dozen Citadel brand handles.
Your phone marks photos as rotated with a flag in the metadata. Lemmy strips the metadata off to avoid exposing things like location, which unfortunately also makes it forget how the photo should be rotated
It looks like you caught a fly in a cup, didn’t know what to do next, so now the cup is permanent furniture.
That's because you live at the equator.
