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 never spent this much time on painting my minis. Still too scared to paint eyes, maybe next time!

I once got advice, which I now follow to whenever possible have the eyes looking to the side. It makes cleaning up mistakes so much easier, automatically prevented cross eye, and makes weird shaped pupils a non-issue. Plus the figures usually look much more dramatic.

That's great advice thanks!
