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

Keep it civil.
No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
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.
No political or social cause agenda pushing.

Man I'm working on Guilliman, and spent 2 hours doing his face. It's not terrible, and not great.

I had to like lay on my arms to keep my hands still, i use a magnifying visor.

And for the eyes, rather than dotting the pupil in, i painted the eye black and dotted a super light gray where i wanted the sclera to be to make the pupil. It took a few tries, and he's just slightly cross-eyed, but I'm happy with it.
