Hobbyist Advocate based in the New York City region. Award-winning painter, occasional writer. I mostly talk about Warhammer here.
I cant wait for the Star Trek Magic the Gathering set to have a bonus sheet of screen grabs from the TV show in 480p, filmed on VHS, no retouching, and reprints of $70 commander staples. Neelix cooking as Chrome Mox. Quark playing Tongo as Rhystic Study. Isn't Magic great...?

Marty, painting a Space Marine vignette??? Waaaat?
Working on a special exhibit for an online painting competition due in December, for homebrew Space Marine Chapters. I'm excited to share the finished product soon.

Hey #portfolioday!

I'm Vincenzo, freelance artist since 2016.

I love monsters and creating epic badass scenes.
As a cinema lover, I always try to give a cinematic aspect to my works.

My happiness lies in bringing other people's ideas to life!

I painted Martin Sheen as his character on The West Wing, and today at NYCC, he signed the piece. He was very impressed and wanted to know more about my Warhammer artwork. Nerd dream come true today!! #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer

How did I miss this? Trump thinks Portland is on fire and is justified in sending in the troops because he watched a five-year-old clip on Fox? Are you kidding me? We are so in 25th Amendment territory. Biden never did anything close to this:
How Trump gets and processes information
How Trump is making potentially lethal decisions

I painted a new Inquisitor, for the Ordo Chronos. The first model for a brand new 40k army I'm working on. Should be done in time for the 2026 Grand Narrative. Exciting! #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k

Everything I painted since mid-May. 200 hours, I counted all the time I was at my hobby desk. Gaming armies, a display miniature, samples for GW, and one last surprise for the Nova Open 😉...

I was supposed to get some work done today but guess what, my copy of the Psychgeist of Pop Culture: Warhammer came in the post today! So I'm pretty excitedly browsing it now :D Big kudos to @jordansorcery.bsky.social for the blurb for this volume ✨️

Weird feeling to have this finally in my hands.

Working on a Celestial Warbringers Questor. She is part of my custom Callis and Toll Warband. Carrying an elvish greatsword and a most-definitely cursed Tzeentch dagger, it's safe to say this is a unique champion of Sigmar. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar #stormcasteternals

Justiciar Aristride Torchia, my new custom hero for the Mirrored Edge S2D army. Counts-as a Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount.

It's finally happening. We love Warhammer canon here, but sometimes fun transcends universes and beyond 😉

Getting back to my Mirrored Edge for a bit. This hero counts-as a Lord on Demonic Mount. I hope you enjoy. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity

Finished up Hanniver Toll. My take on a Lumineth-aligned Callis and Toll. I swapped the tropes of the two heroes (veteran gunslinger, and initiate witch hunter) while adding just a bit of elf bling. #paintingwarhammer

Pinned post time! Here are 4 recent minis I'm proud of and feel are representative of my current skill level.

Working on the unit champion for my Bladelords, and an allied Witch Hunter for tournament play.

For me, I try to blur the distinction between Old World and AoS, I like the idea of continued themes and challenging the separation of ideas. Thats why my LRL look as they do. #warhammercommunity #aos

RIP Shunsaku Tamiya, age 90, the chairman of legendary modelmaker Tamiya. He didn't found the company, but started working there in 1958, just four years after its founding, and helped it shift from its original line of wooden models into the plastic kits it is so well known for today.

A decade of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, how time flies! I remember returning the hobby shortly after the very first General’s Handbook arrived. The heights the Mortal Realms have reached since… awe inspiring stuff. Here’s to 10 more years!

Ten years ago, I had ended my time in the army. I was gonna start over in a new city where I didn’t know anyone. All I had was a bank account full of money, and time. That same day, GW put this out, which solved my problem of having money and free time. #AgeofSigmar
