I wasn't as sure about how "40k" these guys would look back when they were previewed but I think they ended up firing the aesthetic just right. Scrap tech, plenty of chaos, begging for some grim dark colorations.

Nice, did you use speed paints? I just got a set for my fiance and they give a certain grimy detailed look like you have here.

Combination of Speed Paint and Contrast paint for the base coats, yeah.

Speed paints: Ruddy Fur - for the fur Broadsword Silver and Talos Bronze - for the metals Fire Giant Orange - Eyes and Glow Hardened Leather - Straps and Belts Grin Black - Weapons

Contrast Paints: Guiliman Flesh - Skin Skeleton Horde - Horns, Hooves, Bones Teradon Turquoise - Cloth

Then Agrax Earthshade over everything and dry brush or highlight as needed.

Great work on the smoke!

They all look good, honestly, but I love how good that smoke looks.

Isn't it a neat effect? I used Akhelian Green Contrast and dry brushed Ulthian Grey then white scar.

Awesome attention to detail on all of these.

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.
