Warhammer 40k

4731 readers
1 users here now

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.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. 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.
  4. No contemporary politics, no political debates. This is a space to enjoy the hobby and get away from the doomscrolling.

Meet Exalted Sorcerers Az'mekh and Matt.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Sandy boys. I'm so behind the times, are those just the current Thousand Sons marines or are they something special?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

They're exalted sorcerers, which look pretty similar, but are a bit more fancy.

Do you plan on magnetising the weapon options or can you just slide them on and they stay fixed?

Just got a sprue of them on eBay and I am wondering what I should do.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I have magnetized them. While you can just sit them on the top, they do tend to fall when moving.

I'm once again working ~~in~~ on my Wolf Guard Battle Leader on Bike that I've been working on/off again since the end of 5th/beginning of 6th edition. One day I'll actually finish him, I swear!

Farseer and warlock kitbash in works, not sure about the metallic honestly.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think this is a good direction. If the model is overall matte varnished, some brush on gloss on the metal helmet would look cool I think.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

That's what I will try,thanks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I like the metallic, they look great!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Thanks a lot dude.

Well, then I'll have to share my xenomorph-themed Nid squad here. Standby. 🤓

Khorne Mater of Executions ready for 10th.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You’re scaring me! those are cool though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My WIPs aren't Warhammer. It's pretty hard to find the communities for smaller and obscure miniature games, so I'm just here to see everyone else's 40k stuff.

Plus the lore and designs are pretty cool.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Check out the tabletop gaming community here on Lemmy.world (my brain is too smooth to properly link, but search for it in local) and post there.

I’ll try to serve up minis and lore for your personal entertainment here.

Some Ork Kommandos i've been working on, this is the most finished one

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

WIP Chaos Torments. Also first time using contrast paints:

The demon flesh looked good after just one coat of paint, but the human skin was a bit trickier, so I had to highlight it separately afterwards.
