A friend has sent me a package of a variety of different Warhammer bits to build and paint. Decided to start with this Deathwing Knight mini of the month I missed a while back. Decided to stick to a classic scheme, but with weathering and battle damage.

It's convention season, so I needed to make a new set of stickers and... well, I just really wanted to draw these characters. I love KPDH! 😆

When you paint a random spare Skaven for the "rattober" meme and to test a red paint while you have a cold and it comes out as one of the best minis you ever painted. 😠

I needed some way to protect the dice on our Redbrick Market stall from occasional ceiling drips. A mache chest from hobbycraft, some bohs foam clay, acrylic paint, fimo, adhesive "gems" and varnish later...

Slowly getting through the Nighthaunt Spearhead. Spirit Hosts are horrible to build, but they look cool!

Painted up Hexbane's Hunters. They're a fun technical painting challenge because I think they look best in fairly natural, subdued colours.

Yeah, I collect Sons of Horus as my Heresy army! I really like that they have a unique colour scheme that no Space Marines have in 40k, and that they're kind of aesthetically proto-Chaos Space Marines. Cool lore too!

Haven't added anything to my Sons of Horus in over a year, but I couldn't resist getting this new Centurion (plus I really needed one to make my minis into a viable 3e Army lol). Really fun to paint!

When I made my first batch of Hades 2 stickers, this lad didn't even have a fully finished character portrait, so I was pretty surprised he turned out so important! I guess I should make an Eris too, huh?

Greetings from OSL hell. I have a big exciting comic project going on and for some reason this is how I chose to relax!? It'll look good when it's done, I'm sure, but oh my god why am I doing this!?

Starting the day by finishing up Ylthari's Guardians. I treated myself to one of the boxes of 4 Warhammer Underworlds warbands for use in Daggerheart and to paint something different! These will be great as Dryads and things.
