Warhammer 40k

100 users here now

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.

Love the look of these. Pale blue was a great choice for the eyes.

A bit slapchop.

I primed it Army Painter black, grey and grey/blue dry brush to make the edges stand out, heavier dry brush plus white dry brush on places to be red or gold.

Reds: Flesh Tearer contrast then another dry brush of Evil Suns Scarlet

Gold: Garaghaks Sewer, Army Painter Greedy Gold

Bone: Reaper Ion Soot (grey), Sepia Wash

Rounded out with: Sir Coates Silver, Guilliman Flesh, Magos Purple, Prismatic Bolt Speed Paint, Army Painter Strong Tone

They were mainly a color test, but I'm pretty tickled with the results.

Cool - been a long time since I’ve painted something but have been waiting for an excuse to give it a shot after hearing about it.
