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.

This is my last squad of Custodes for a while as they round out my army! Hoping we eventually get some plastic dreads in the future because I really enjoy this color scheme.

Title says it... Finally got around to painting some Epic: Armageddon Warhounds that I still had lying around. Can't wait to field them against my son's 'Nids.

Not the best painter ever, but it's better than nothing 😅

Love me some Chaos Cult, some of my favorite models. I was lucky enough to score the Ashes of Faith Kill Team box to get the full team. IMO they’re one of the most thematic Kill Teams.

Spending way too much time on this Volkus terrain, but happy with how it’s coming out.

Had this team primed since Into the Dark. On a kick to get them done!

Been painting a lot of AoS lately and kiiiinda miss doing 40K. This was one of my favorite projects, especially doing up industrial bases.

Tried my hand at a power sword effect on my Crimson Fists Company Champion. It didn't turn out thr smoothest but I'm pretty happy with it, definitely going to try again on my bladeguard.

My first ever fully painted miniature that didn't come free in a box with paints.

Paints used:

  1. 2:2:1 Black Templar:Lahmian Medium:Ultramarine Contrast (Citadel)

  2. Pure Red (Warpaints)

  3. Skeleton Bone (Warpaints)

  4. Greedy Gold (Warpaints)

  5. Cobalt Metal (Warpaints)

  6. Skeleton Horde (Citadel)

  7. Nuln Oil (Citadel)

I've got some places I definitely want to touch up. Places where my brush control was lacking for sure and I'm not happy with the tone on the belt. I find it mixes too much with the gold. I'll be adding some more layers to that as well as touching up any spots I missed with paint.

Overall I'm pretty happy with it. I'll be continuing to edge highlight with the cobalt Metal on any exposed armour and will attempt my first OSL from the eyes.

Funny thing is, this isn't even from my main army. I have 2500 points of Nids I need to prime and paint. I've just been having a bit of the winter blues so I forced myself to paint something to try and kickstart my engines. Building has been really therapeutic though and painting was even moreso.

I probably should have sub assemblied this more than I did. Painting the back of the cloak was a pain. Really happy with how the fallen sister turned out though.
