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'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!

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.

[–] WoolyNelson@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

You’re scaring me! those are cool though.

Meet Exalted Sorcerers Az'mekh and Matt.

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

[–] Tobin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year 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.

[–] EldradUlthran@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's what I will try,thanks.

[–] Tobin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like the metallic, they look great!

[–] EldradUlthran@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks a lot dude.

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

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.
