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.

So I've heard some descriptions of the 40,000 lore from a podcast I watch, and it sounds incredible, but there's an awful lot of options to start from, with people recommending many different book series and youtube summaries. Is there a simpler approach, like just going into one standalone book to ground yourself before a bigger series? Or from a game to a tie-in book of some kind? Many thanks.

I painted this one earlier in the year but never posted it anywhere. Inspired to grab a picture now by @[email protected] great version!

Don't ask to see inside, however. I got distracted and never finished painting the pilot.

Death Company Smash Captain

Almost time to start the new Death Company! Did this Blood Angels Smash Captain up in my Death Company style.

With all the gold trim on black armor it did start to look like he might see Horus in the mirror.

Still working out the kinks on my photography setup though. Not sure what is going on with the focus here. I want to learn to do that better, but I'm not sure I want a whole other hobby.

Oh, great, so 3 of my 4 Kill teams will only be properly supported for one more year:

Why does game-workshop have to games-workshop everything that people like 😠

Painting my space wizard was a fun little distraction, but genestealers don't paint themselves.

I've got my infantry base coated so it's time to give them a good wash.

And I've got a little squat that Chris at Ontos Games gave me at BOYL for when I'm sick of batch painting cultists.

WIP Wednesday

Several different states of progress on the desk at the moment. From broody Necromunda bros to a giant Death Company Dread. I really don't know how to resist doing Tycho's feet as open-toe power sandles. I'll figure out the lore reason later.

I've collected enough for a 1K army, just need to get through and finish up the painting now. Slightly regretting choosing an army with so much trim as the first minis I'll paint, and even more so that I painted them in slightly ugly colours first and am now having to repaint the Rubricae... But I am excited to finally table them sometime in the future!

Blood Angels Jump pack Chaplain

Mostly experimenting with my new photography set up. Still some work to be wrapped up on the base, but otherwise I'll call him finished. Putting the slotted base on top of a modern 32mm base gives enough bulk that I think he's ready to hit the table in 10th edition after until years waiting on the shelf, unpainted.

AdMech Color Test

I wanted to see if I could slap chop some white armor plating, so I grabbed a Makers Cult FDM print I have had laying around for a very long time. In this light the white plates and the silver gears look too similar, but I'm pleased with the white overall. The weathering was a blast, too!

The FLGS has a lot of junky terrain, and I did my part by picking out a few pieces to paint. This was an already assembled Imperial Bastion that had some random primer on it. I decided to give it some color with cheap craft paints.

Josh was kind enough to invite me on to discuss my first white dwarf, issue 169 with the cardboard battle bunker. So if you have 20 minutes to waste why not give it a watch.
