#portfolioday is here again!
Hi everyone! I'm Sam, freelancer and illustrator on a variety of Warhammer tabletop roleplaying games. Here's a tiny slice of what I do:

Voll Adventures cover for Imperium Maledictum - a Vigilite interrogates a cultist at the site of a massacre, while our heroes prepare to intervene!

An Ash Drake ambushes a rather overmatched Chaos warband.

Aeldari factions combine forces against a horde of Orks in this cover illustration for Aeldari - Inheritance of Embers for Wrath & Glory.

The Skaven Blistrox, with readied spear and braced shield!

Watched Wallace & Gromit's "A Close Shave" with the kids. Good, but not as good as The Wrong Trousers, which has the greatest chase scene in all of cinema (fight me)

a cartoon dog is carrying a box of food on a train .

Alt: Gromit, world's best dog, laying out toy train track ahead of the speeding train he is riding.

Just noticed that I referred to myself as “we” which suggests I am doing worryingly well at internalising the Vilitch mindset!

Was just about to check if @jordansorcery.bsky.social asked him about his days as keyboardist for Pink Floyd…

My Vilitch campaign in #Warhammer #TotalWar nears its conclusion. We're now at that stage in all TWW games where its mostly just a handful of very big empires grinding each other down. In my case, I'm fighting Tsarina Katarin, who has a frightening number of armies.

Vilitch the Curseling - a muscly Chaos Warrior with a weird conjoined sorcerer twin, brandishing a magical staff.

I re-read this not long ago. Might be might least favourite of the 3 GW Books anthologies, buts still got some great stories in it.

But great if you want to use them in your HeroQuest/Advanced Heroquest homebrew!

Y’know, the 1987 Fantasy Regiments Skaven mini really holds up, especially for a plastic mini.

That was an AMAZING box.

Watched yet another bloody film in which someone riding a bicycle dies tragically in a traffic accident.

Its got to the point where I just assume that someone riding a bike in a film is a goner. Deeply fucking depressing. No wonder people are scared to cycle!

One of my favourite old #Warhammer novels!

Jordan Sorcery @jordansorcery.bsky.social · 4d

Now reading: Genevieve Undead by Jack Yeovil

Kim Newman’s work in the Warhammer world has been some of my absolute favourite fiction - very excited to be back with some spooks for the season!

Love this one! It’s not quite up there with Drachenfels and Beasts in Velvet, but it’s still great.

I particularly like Cold Stark House, which I’m convinced could be adapted into an interesting WFRP adventure…

Somebody wake up Hicks @jonmarkhicks.bsky.social · 4d

Some of the best TTRPG sessions I've ever had were when unplanned inspiration or events struck. When I first started GMing games I tried to force the action and the drama, and I built set-pieces and events to try and shock and awe my group, who I saw as my audience.

But that's not the way to do it.

Incredible art of strangely rat like Beastmen! By @sammanleyartist.bsky.social

Sam Manley (booked up for now) @sammanleyartist.bsky.social · 5d

Rat rat

This Skaven takes a fighting crouch, his shield braced, his spear ready to strike, and his breath ready to drop a hippo at 50 paces.

More pustule cluster (clustule?) that rat-man, really. 'to Skrolk' should be a verb.
He raises his Rod of Corruption and holds open the Liber Bubonicus. You feel like you need a shower.

I’m inclined to agree. I love videogames, but videogame movies are almost always rubbish.

On the other hand you have the MK movie, which is ridiculous and silly and has Johnny Cage being an engaging idiot.

I’ve just published an interview with the wonderful Robin Low, #Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay author. We discussed his history with #WFRP, his favourite sourcebooks and more!

Interview with Robin Low

Robin is regular writer for WFRP 4e official publications and a frequent contributor to the old Warpstone fanzine. We discuss his history with the game, and what makes WFRP great.

Just to say that teachers do an incredibly difficult job, with all the right intentions, and can be the defining influence on a young person's life. They are the exact opposite of poisoners because good teaching provides the antidote to so many dangers

Nigel Farage says UK teachers are ‘poisoning our kids’ and predicts strikes as PM

Exclusive: Reform UK leader, speaking at event for private US college, also claimed the ‘Marxist left’ controls education Nigel Farage has predicted teachers would go on strike within weeks of a Reform UK government, and accused them of “poisoning our kids” by telling them that black children are victims and white children oppressors. The Reform UK leader set out his view on British schools in an event for a private US Christian college in Michigan, claiming the “Marxist left” was “now in control of our education system”.

Amen to that! I don’t understand how teachers manage to do what they do, but I really appreciate them.
