This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

  1. Keep it civil. Don’t insult other community members in posts or comments, and don’t make posts designed to insult other community members or parts of the fandom with different opinions.

  2. Posts must be on-topic.

  3. No real life politics. That means no political advocacy, and no real life political discussions vaguely dressed up as on-topic posts. If you want to discuss real life politics, you are free to start your own community.

  4. No memes/low-effort spam/Youtube poops style posts. grimdank is a place for those.

  5. Posts must be coherent.

Finally finished off the Norn Emissary a little while ago. Definitely my biggest project yet.

I absolutely love this.

That looks incredible! I love your color scheme and you did such a good job edge highlighting the carapace! I also really like the non-edge gray highlights they look great. I always struggle with the carapace on my own bugs

Thank you! Purple is such a fun color to work with. The newer models have such great detail on the carapace. I tried a few different approaches but found just a simple bright grey dry brush always ended up looking better than anything else I tried.

Possibly my favourite model GW makes, and fantastic job painting it!
