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.

I'm going to be building up layers of UV resin as a sludge pit. I may be adding some bones as well.

I'm very intrigued by the model itself; is it a custom creation? Parts from different models? I'm not well versed in Warhammer lore, but I'm digging whatever this is.

edit: I found your post about the model. Love it! [WIP] Huntsman for Death Guard army

How do you contain the UV resin to get it shaped before hitting it with a light?

My attempts have not been ideal.

As I do resin casting (dice, etc), I have silicone mats. I have cut a strip to temporarily affix around the base as a dam.

Mind you, these will be done as many thin layers.

That sounds more successful than trying to closely adhere plasticard or acrylic sheets to make a container.

I'm happy with it.

Great shape on the resin yeah. It looks gross.

Thanks!

Here is the silicone dam in action. The UV resin will hold it in place until I remove it.
