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've collected enough for a 1K army, just need to get through and finish up the painting now. Slightly regretting choosing an army with so much trim as the first minis I'll paint, and even more so that I painted them in slightly ugly colours first and am now having to repaint the Rubricae... But I am excited to finally table them sometime in the future!

Oh yeah I've been doing sub-assemblies, at least the first time around! It's a bit of a pain repainting now that they're assembled, but also there's a base that the new paint goes over so it's not like it's just straight primer on the bits I miss!

Ooh, why do you leave glue points unpainted? Does the paint make the glue less effective?

If you're using plastic glue (which melts/welds plastic together), you need bare plastic for it to work right.

Cyanoacrylate glue (superglue) doesn't need bare plastic, but there's always the risk of the paint coming off at the connection, breaking the join.

Ahhhh.... I've not left any glue points unpainted! So far nothing has fallen apart 🤞
