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
- 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.
- No political or social cause agenda pushing.

Lookin' great, the paint scheme and highlighting really makes them pop out! Also love the bases, wanted to ask you how you manage to get such a consistent cracked earth texture:-?
Thanks! :)
The base is essentially just bird sand, but if you seal the sand with acrylic colours before its glue is fully dried, the paint dries quicker than the sand/glue below and proceeds to crack open as the sand dries up. First time I had this happen was just due to my impatience, but I liked the effect so much that I decided to consistently apply it to this army.
Oh, this is awesome, thank you so very much!
