Warhammer 40k

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 political or social cause agenda pushing.

I've got these couple minis WIP right now

Have been 25 years out of the hobby and finally got around to sticking my foot back into the water yesterday. The efforts I made with a few minis were...bad - but I learned some things. I did however have more success with some basing for them and I'm rather pleased with how I did

The terrain looks good. What was the painting failure?

Attempting slapchop with far too littlr drybrush coverage underneath and not realising the weak coverage of some contrast paints :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

In that case I’m precisely the wrong person to ask about contrast paints. I think the slapchop kind of creates more work than it solves. There’s a pretty good Duncan Rhodes side by side video of contrast paint vs slap chop contrast vs old fashion base colors with brown wash all over that I think should be in mind at least by painters looking to knock out lots of minis quickly.

@Cras Welcome back. I was out of it for decades as well. If you put in the time, you'll be great, that's just how it works. You can do it!

Been working on some Incursors for the last little while:

Kit-bashing a Lokhust Lord torso using a Lychguard, extra chronomancer hand, and primaris techmarine servo arm joint.

I also cut down the rod so it works as a lord's blade.

Waiting on the destroyer bodies to complete it.

Dry fitting to see how it all looks together, but work on this #Tzeentch Knight continues for the week!
