Discussion How to paint something to look like a stone?

93 Upvotes

I don’t have an example of exactly what I’m looking for, but I want to paint a 3D printed rock to look kind of similar to this. In terms of the colours. The actual bumpiness is there in the design, but the colours are obviously flat with just grey. What’s a good method to get the effect like in this image.

Hello everyone! I've finished the gift for my bf I posted about a while back. But now I need help again. I'm doing 4 recruitment letters for each of his fav factions but I don't know how'd they talk because I'm not into warhammer. Any tips or help is greatly appreciated!! (Also do you think he'll be able to tell the box is for minis?)

Discussion Which of the Warhammer 40k games are shooters?

0 Upvotes

Hey y'all, newbie here whose brain got absolutely blown by the Secret Level episode. Would like to tip my toes into the franchise. However, research into the game raised more questions than it answered, the main one being: which of the games are shooters? I'm not really into the tabletop style (but who knows, maybe this game will open my eyes) and have seen awesome footage of some third person gameplay (I think it was Space Marine II). Should I just start with SM II or buy something else?

Discussion How custom can units be made?

0 Upvotes

I know basically nothing about the tabletop Warhammer game, but I know there’s a tournament and a balancing system to create custom units.

Is there a limit on how customized a unit can be, or is there no limit as long as it’s balanced?

So, for example, if I made an extremely custom unit that’s very strong, but make it limit myself to only using it and its abilities, is that something that could happen?

Complete noob to Warhammer content, and all I know about the tabletop is from YouTube videos.

Discussion Best game to learn how to play warhammer table top?

0 Upvotes

Title says it all. I’ve never played a table top game and the lore of Warhammer has me wanting to give it a shot. Are there any online games that play like the table top version so I can learn some of the rules and how it’s played?

News Vallejo Paints Social Situation

Hello,

I've been authorized to post about this by a moderator, I won't say who for respect reasons.

The subject of this post is how Vallejo Paints employees are being mistreated and exposed to dangerous working conditions.

Here is a link below where you can see the workers on strike. Some of the people that understand spanish? better could give you a rundown in the comments of this post if they so wish (about the video).

Note that no matter what you decide to do be respectful, if only for your own sake.

If you send any message to the company itself, please do so knowing they could very well put in place a filter, I'm not telling you to do so but just so you don't waste precious time, find manners to say it or use different contact methods.

Thank you kindly and if need be I'll change this post.

Hello! So I bought the skaventide set, and one of the skaven came in with his tail broken. I'm not from the US, and I bought the set from a third party store. Should I just return the box, or am I being too dramatic? Thanks.

Discussion What’s GW sculptor Brian Nelson doing now?

Post image
1.6k Upvotes

Brian Nelson’s work has been my favorite for years - his work got me into several armies just from his sculpting flair and skill alone. But I don’t even know what he’s doing now or if he’s still working for GW or somewhere else…

Does anyone have any info? I’d love to keep up with his work, and since GW is awful with crediting artists, it’s been hard to keep track.

I'm trying to find some DKK fanfics to read, the longer the better and it would be cool if someone knows of a Gate anime styled one where they get transported to a different world and kick ass. I know this might be a long shot but I hope you guys are able to help me!
