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.

These aren't great but I figured more content here is better than no content. I still have a long ways to go but I'm pretty happy with these two from my first box.

Looks great to me! How'd you get the highlight? Was it a zenithal highlight before painting, or more coats of paint in lighter colors afterwards?

Honestly? It's all in the lighting, they look very flat in person.

This makes them great reference pictures for highlights and shades then! :)

I just finished some veteran guardsman from the kill team set and soon I'll be doing a space marine set. I hope I can paint as clean as these!

These are great! Throw a wash on and they will really pop! Well done
