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.

Finally completed the rest of the Leviathan box. Kind of proud right now, yet C&C is always welcome :)

@ralothar
Nice paint scheme. Care to share the mix?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you! Sure I can share.

The basic scheme would be:
  • Zenithal with airbrush or sprays (black, grey, white)
  • Skin: Citadel Carrborough Crimson (thinned 1:1 with medium) all over model
  • Skin-Drybrush: Citadel Wytch Flesh
  • Carapace: Vallejo Game Color (VGC from here on) Hexed Lichen
  • Carapace Highlights: VGC Stonewall Grey Drybrush
  • "Gills" & "Breathing Holes" (don't know their names): Citadel Contrast Blood Angels Red
  • Joints: Citadel Contrast Volupus Pink
  • Hoofs, Claws & Teeth: either Citadel Contrast Black Templar or Army Painter Speed Pallid Bone
  • Eyes: Base with Citadel Contrast Bad Moon Yellow and thin coat of FX Fluor Speed Yellow
  • Gooy strings: Uhu Glue
  • Fleshy parts (Wings or Termagant fleshborers): Citadel Contrast Darkoath
  • Fresh and dried blood: Mix of Citadel Technichal Blood for the Blood God and Typhus Corrosion (varying ratio of both)
Base:
  • Paste with Vallejo Diorama FX - Black Lava - Asphalt
  • Heavy Drybrush with VGC Stonewall Grey
  • Light Drybrush with VGC Dead White
