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.

HOW DO YOU DO FACES SO WELL?!
Every model in my army can't wear a helmet
Lol, I had to force myself to give up helmets to need to practice faces.
It helps a lot when the heads can be painted separately so I focus only on the face. Plus I just don't do eyes unless the model really needs them because I found eyes are most of the difficulty so I only invest in it when I really need to.
Flesh contrast, flesh shade, flesh highlight is the basic recipe. Just different combinations and colors each time.
