- 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.

I read the title and expected a photo of my ex wife, but it’s not far off!
Joking aside, excellent job on the painting, you must have put in a lot of effort to get this good and it’s just awesome quality work!
A lot of this was just thinking about color choices really. The genestealer has some gradient drybrushing and then a homemade ink wash on the armor. The skin is just pink with purple wash.
The basing is an urban scheme I’ve been honing in on in other projects, using some subdued blue tones worked up to grey, and some Vallejo rust wash traced into all the details.
So wait, they built it into a janitorial servitor?
I'm not a player, but that detail is impressive.
It looks more complicated than it is thanks to using washes and inks for all the shading, being done on top of some drybrushing meant to work with it. This is assembly line level of detail since I really do have a swarm of these boys in process.
Having plan for color choices ahead of time and thinking about the most efficient work flow makes things much less daunting.
Looking beautiful as usual!
