Honestly I think Games Workshop knock it out of the park with every Necromunda release, so very tempted to get involved even though I hear the game is a bit of a hot mess of sourcebooks

It’s Friday again, you know what that means.

This week the theme is…damp.

So let see creatures from the deep, warriors in swamps and what not.

As usual I’ll repost the lot and if you like something, share it!

I've TWO of these beautiful 'Witch & Hare' original linocuts by my mum, Jo, to give away to my Bluesky followers. The print is from my recently republished book, Help The Witch.

All you have to do to enter is repost this story from the book (maybe give it a read too?) www.tom-cox.com/robot-2/

This is a personal work, the first one in years, I could manage to spend some time on it despite all my current works, but I needed to do it and the most important thing, it’s probably one of the paintings I enjoyed most in a while!

Mil gracias @realgdt.bsky.social por esta obra maestra!

How It Started Vs How It's Going

A story of two Nevilles.

I wanted to paint a second Neville as a disheveled version of the first to show the journey of a poor, battered infantry. Even down to love and hate tattoos on his knuckles, and a battered backpack.

This was a lot of fun.

Thought of the day for the 4th day of #Guardvember:
“Soldiers go where the fight is!”
Raised & trained in the jungles of the colony world Emperor's Hope, these snipers of the #4thMemnonRegiment fight in a very different jungle: the ruined “Golden Terra Mall” in urban Lorech.

Three old Catachan Sniper miniatures (standing, kneeling and lying down) in different brown-green-grey tones set up in debris scatter terrain in front of a Backdrop showing a derelict hallway. The light from the left side looks like there’s a fire burning.

Rökthane Toothcutter Schiltron from @ontosgames.co.uk. Specifically, the Highlander special I picked up at Salute and have procrastinated on painting since buying it. I knew it should be tartan, but that's difficult, as you can see from the close-up! But I think it's effective.

Neville from Turnip 28. Great sculpt, and a fun paint.

Tried for a more harmonious palette and wanted to keep him clean and factory fresh, as I have a second one that will be done in a grittier fashion later.

What would you get if you took some plague marines, scraped all the Death Guard iconography off, added some 3D printed bits and painted them up as Iron Warriors?
You'd get some seriously chunky-ass marines is what.

Mini of the month - terrain-ing day

Entry 9 by @tammi.bsky.social

Watch it, kid. This is Chemtown Blades territory.

#Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth
A low view down a wide alley full of leaking trash bags, broken pallets and forgotten shipments. Pizza boxes, recycled packaging and all kinds of dirt and trash litter the alley. Tags and names scrawled on the walls of the rundown, filthy buildings with the painted name of the Escher Matriarch of the Chemtown Blades herself overseeing it all. A higher, diagonal view of the whole alley. More of the trash can be seen from this angle, some piled up, some scattered. The sides of the two smaller buildings can be seen more clearly on the right. Dirty cardboard and other rubbish is scattered and piling up at the foot of the back wall and bulging refuse sacks spill from the gap between the two low, dirty buildings. A narrow, high view of the alley from above. The bright circle of a spotlight pierces the gloom, illuminating the filthy floor just outside the back entrance to the club, maybe from a searching hover. The Enforcers are looking for someone. Colours and shadow as the club's rear door opens, red light spilling from the recessed doorway on the left, lights visible on the rooftop above. Behind the graffitti-covered wall rise the corroded stacks belching smoke and filth into what passes for air around here.

The modular wizards tower of Prin’Gl

#Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth
The first picture is the single image showing the full tower and summoning circle next to it. The final montage image shows two views of the balcony including hatch, and the garderobe in full detail. The next montage picture shows the three components, along with details of the dormer window and well-used garderobe. The second montage picture shows the steps to the main entrance, summoning circle and the components as two twin towers - Prin’Gl and N’Tell-ah
