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.

First time using Citadel paints they felt amazing to use! Getting my hands on some miniatures soon I'm excited to get into this.

And citadel paints tip over. Getting paint out of a citadel pot is more difficult to get a consistent amount out onto the palette. You also never want to get paint into the ferrule of the brush (the metal bit that connects the bristles to the handle) and that is much more difficult to do when you are blindly dipping into a pot.

This is all super helpful for me thank you!

One trick I see done a lot (I own an LGS btw) is The Army Painter sells a pack of empty dropper bottles. People will put their citadel paints into those.
