Imperial Bookend – Warhammer40K Style

Imperial Bookend – Warhammer40K Style

Bring the order of the Imperium to your bookshelf! This robust bookend with its iconic Grimdark look is the perfect accessory for any Warhammer40k fan. It is designed to keep your codex collection, novels, or rulebooks securely in place.

Features:

• Authentic Design: Featuring the double-headed eagle (Aquila) and gothic skull details.
• Modular & Stable: The wide base ensures a secure stand, even for heavy hardcover books.
• Easy to Print: Optimized for FDM printers.
• Perfect for Painters: The details are ideal for drybrushing and edge highlighting to achieve a realistic metal or concrete look.

Printing Recommendations:

• Material: PLA, PETG, or ABS (Gray is excellent as a base color).
• Infill: At least 15-20% (Gyroid recommended for additional stability).
• Walls: 3-4 walls for maximum robustness.
• Support: Only minimally necessary depending on orientation.
• Tip: Glue a piece of foam rubber or felt to the bottom so the bookend doesn't slip on smooth surfaces.

Painting Tip (as in the preview image):

1. Prime black.
2. Roughly drybrush with a dark silver/gunmetal.
3. Highlight the eagle and skulls with gold or bronze.
4. Apply a dark "wash" (e.g., Agrax Earthshade) for an oily, grimy look.

For the Emperor! If you like the design, I would be very happy about a like and a photo of your make!
