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. 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.

  6. If a post is otherwise allowed but has realistic gore or nudity, please mark it NSFW.

Community painting contest (lemmy.world)

I thought it would be time again for another community painting contest. With the holidays coming up, people are sure to be getting some new stuff, and hopefully have some free time to paint.

Since I'm posting this mid-December, I'll run the contest date out until the end of January 31st for submissions to give everybody time to get their entry ready.

The rules for this contest are going to be pretty relaxed. You can enter any 40k mini, either official or recognizable proxy. The contest is to find a mini to serve as the new community icon, so submit minis and put up photos in mind for looking good as an icon. You can submit multiple photos and angles.

Submissions will be comments inside this thread. You can post mini WIP threads or just for fun, but I'll only look at minis inside this thread as candidates.

Good luck and happy holidays to the community.

Heh, it's a large round base, looks like a round icon ;). Is 6mm scale allowed to enter?

Welp. I guess you win.

Here’s a recent 40k diorama I did. I don’t know if he is appropriate as an icon, but it might work if zoomed in to the marine’s upper body.

My account is too new to post pictures, so here’s a link: https://geekdom.pics/p/JupiterJazz/788220488791982763
