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.

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.
