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 hope you made weird nids noises while painting them for better effect

Hi from front page! These are so awesome I can't believe you could do such a fantastic job painting something so tiny and detailed on your first try! I appreciate the vape juice in background really put to scale lol. Keep up with your hobby, I hope it brings you lots of joy!

Good job! They look very nice :D

I enjoy Squidmar and Lyla Mev YouTube channels for starting points.

I'll add them to the queue!

I don’t even think I knew how to thin the paint my first go.

Thank you!!

Now I need to read the rules properly so I can make it to 2k.

Then again I have a billion mids to paint so I have time.

First time!? Holy cow, my dude, that is good work for any skill level. What paints did you use?
