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.

I really like Vallejo burnt red.

Vallejo black (super basic I know)

Vallejo German cammo dark green

Vallejo Metal Color gunmetal grey

Citidel Retributor armor.

These are just the ones I use a lot and enjoy using. I also really like ProAcryl for vivid base coats. Citidel paints are great for dry brushing. Don't use contrast very often but recently discovered that I get really nice yellows by painting something skin tones and shading before finishing with one of citidel's yellow contrast paints.
