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.

Looking at it, I feel like it kinda looks like I just slapped on random bits and milliput. I did, but I want it to look more purposeful/part of the piece.

I watched Midwinter Mini’s video for the nurgle land raider and used much of that for inspo. I really wanted the PVA+Superglue trick to work but it did not come out as nice for me. I thought about adding more and just not painting it, but a bit worried about slapping that on miiiight be too much?

If anyone has any advice to make it look more like a flesh change or parts erupting from the metal (or any other advice to elevate this) I would greatly appreciate the guidance.

Something as simple as shading the border between the mutation and the armor with agrax earthshade would make it pop better. The armor and mutation being similar shades of blue make it blend together. Marking the border with more distinct shading would help I think.

At one point I had it as a super fleshy pink thinking that might sell it better, but ended up reverting it. Thought keeping the colors close would help me more. Maybe after sculpting some broken armor around it I’ll give that another shot

I honestly think that looks better. More obvious it's something other than the vehicle and not just a very lumpy rhino at a glance/across the table.

Ah man, perhaps I’ll revisit again. Thanks for your input!
