Special note. Hi all. I'm changing the WIP thread to monthly seeing that we are low traffic. Being that these threads are meant to encourage discussion and updates I'm going to see if leaving each thread up longer fosters more discussion.

This thread is here to encourage posting works in progress (WIP). Post your works, updates to previous posts, and questions!

This thread is meant to be in addition to posting WIPs as their own threads, so feel free to make stand alone posts if you wish.

Helpful Youtube channels for for new painters:

If there is anything you'd like to see added to painting resources in the opening comment, post away and I'll take a look.

Yeah big red areas can be tough. I’ve taken to just spray painting red bodied vehicles these days. Works great if they are sprayed black first and then red from above. Gives shading in a nice gradient.

I’d personally suggest some dry brushed orange highlights before you start picking out details. Orange on red really help it pop.

The red is coming out alright so far; I kinda like the variation in colour. What orange would you recommend? I have wild rider red and fire dragon bright on hand.

I'm mostly disappointed with the sepia over wraithbone. Just came out so uneven :(

Warhammer 40k

5 users here now

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.
