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.

Working on an Alpha legion loyalist (ish) army. Still have a long way to go, but I'm happy with how it's going.

I also painted a 20 marine box of alpha legion. My formula after a lot of attempts: 1 part lamia medium 4 parts green ink 1 part blue ink

That was painted over a very bright silver base of game color chainmail silver.

Achieved a very similar look.

This is kroxigor green contrast paint over black with a zenithal prime of leadbelcher. I've seen people mix in (I think) aethermatic blue to give it a slightly more blue tint, but I'm happy with how it turned out.
