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 contemporary politics, no political debates. This is a space to enjoy the hobby and get away from the doomscrolling.
Helpful Links
- 10th Edition Rules
- iOS Warhammer 40k App
- Android Warhammer 40k App
- 3rd party site for running Kill Team games

I'm completely new to painting too, and I've been having reasonable success with the following:
Find a position where your elbows/forearms/wrists are resting on something.
If you don't have a painting handle, get one.
Use the hand that holds the figure/handle to support the painting hand.
try to sit as relaxed as possible.
yeah, i've seen a few people use painting handles. I've just been holding the model by the baseplate after i've attached the legs.
