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.

Almost finished up a brotherhood chaplain for my grey knights. Really wish I could get my hands on the older model.

Any tips doing text? X.x scared to attempt those lol

Some other pics; alsomagnetized the hands for swaps (not like it was necessary, but I like maximizing kits lol).

Looks so good.

Badass. What did you wash the armor with? Is it just nuln oil?

[–] twotonebax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I used drakenhof nightshade on the armor, agrax earthshade on the gold (and the skull mask thing), and nuln oil on the red/white areas.

I have used a (slightly dulled) pin in a brown or black paint and just drew lines.

I may give this a try on another model first :)

Paint a strip on some plastic or cardboard. Practice on that (how I figured it out).

For text on banners/seals: Brown or Black .005 Micron pen.

Honestly curious as to how this post got two downvotes?

Is there controversy in the Warhammer 40K fan sphere over how models should be painted?

Why didn’t you link a license with this comment?

[–] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Because one of these two reasons...

  1. I was just asking a simple question.

... or ...

  1. I was on the toilet at the time, and didn't have access to my license text.
