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.

Hell yeah man, I love the orange stripe and the way you've shaded the glass on the cockpits and gems. How'd you like painting the Eldar? They were my first Warhammer army so they hold a special place in my heart haha ๐Ÿ˜…

Thanks, mate :)

Painting them is fun... Kind of. I dig the design of the vehicles, which is why I got the models in the first place. However, they're sooooo unforgiving. With a lot of other armies (Necrons, Tyranids, Orks) being dirty and/or organic, they just never look "wrong" when you make smaller mistakes. My Eldar, however, are never as I imagined them, just because the brushes are never sharp enough and my hand's never calm enough. At some point I just accepted that this is all I can do with the equipment and the time I have right now. Guess for me, coming to terms with my own limits is part of the experience of painting Eldar. ;)
