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.

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. ;)
