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.

You've already done quite well, what do you feel you wish to get better at?

I don’t know what I don’t know, there may be glaring noob errors that seasoned painters may immediately spot. Never painted anything before these guys.

My biggest problem is all the tiny detail. I’ll correct something, but then need to fix another color, which then needs me to fix the previous, back and forth doing micro corrections until completion. Painting some exalted sorcs now and the trim is killer.

Micro corrections are fairly common afaik, and probably won’t ever go away fully but the more you practice the easier it’ll get to get the corrections right the first round.

Keep with it!

Thank you! Thousand Sons more like Thousand Corrections

These are great. For your next batch, you could try picking a complementary secondary colour from a colour wheel to add some variety.

The bases are quite dark, maybe a boost to contrast there?

Can’t think of much else 😅

Great work 👌

Thank you! More color for sure, it’s daunting to learn all this color theory stuff but super fun to experiment.

Any recs for bases? I think I really stepped up my game between dudes, rubric ghosts first, then rust terminators, daemon prince last. Feel like the daemon prince one is solid, but not sure what to do for my next round of sorcs.
