Toyotomi Hideyoshi from Warlord Games. I copied the colour scheme from the piece of artwork that clearly inspired the sculpt. I think it works well.

A pair of Gellerpox Infected that I have recently painted. They will probably end up in my Death Guard as fancy Poxwalkers, TBH.

More Greathelm goodness. The Kickstarter is going very well. This could be big!

My interpretation of the Observer for Trench Crusade. I took some liberties on the armour, but I think the colours work nicely, overall.

This has been my favourite Rumbleslam miniature since I first came across the game. It feels good to finally scratch that itch.
