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.

Apothecary Arrives

With that, all the Leviathan characters are complete!

Fun to do Blood Angels in another color than red. Maybe I should do some Death Company to keep up the variety. I feel like I neglect the special BA units in favor of a BA themed army of normal Astartes units.

Yeah, I didn't even try to do smooth white for this guy. Pure trickery.

Zenithal prime white over grey; All over Apothecary White Contrast; All over Drakenhof Nightshade (read: blue) Shade; Really heavy "dry brush" Reaper Ghost White (read, slightly blue white); More normal dry brush Reaper Solid White for the edges.

Ideally all the different tones work together to convince you that it is solid white with natural shadows.

I tried apothecary white contrast over white scar primer and it came out super grey, didn't read white at all. This is what I ended up with after a lot of fiddling, but it was a pain in the ass.
