It's spooky season, so let me add a few scarier pieces!

An army of skeletons stares you down. You personally. You're fucked, mate.

A spooky haunted house, surely nothing good resides within.

This is basically how we all see the Auslanderbehorde.

An Absolvers Chaplain delivers a fiery speech from his bone-crusted pulpit.

So... a Genestealer is a bad sign. But what it heralds is so, so much worse.

#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!

It's my birthday! Huzzah! 🥳🍰🎉
Y'know what I'd like?
Quote repost with HOW YOU DRAW DWARFS!

A unit of a lad. The dwarfest dwarf ever.

A big ol' dwarf door in a big ol' dwarf hold.

A part of dwarfs adventures across the mountains, heading to another hold.

Rather mad looking dwarfs forge a powerful weapon on their anvil.
