Woodworker, Lab Tech, Miniature-Painter, Pixel Artist, Sailor, Bear. Probably a few more things, but I can't recall.
I have been working on some Pillage Wargame stuff recently, and also had a good game of it. We were able to play on my friends 2x2 foot board he made, and we just had 250 point forces, but it was grand fun. Also pictures is all my finished Victrix pillage miniatures so far. There are more to paint..

We did! I managed to finish my Lieutenant (on horse), and have a battle over a bridge. My forces died gloriously defending the bridge from the Trench Ghosts (fielded by my friend Thomas, who also took the pictures). I managed to just squeak through holding objectives, and take out his tank-priest.

I am currently gearing up for a Trench Crusade game in a few hours, and am still painting my Lieutenant. First time I am running New Antioch, and we're doing 500 ducats and 5 glory, so I just have a LT, 9 yeomen, and an A-T communicant. Should be silly (and I will probably be destroyed).

#Inqtober Final! all of the warhammer 40k pixel art drawings I did for October of 2025, and it was a grand time!

What's your favourite?

#Inqtober - 31 - Inquisitor
The final prompt of Inqtober, and I decided to do a power-armoured inquisitor. Her armour says Ordos Malleus, but her hat says Ordos Hereticus.
Tomorrow I will post a full-page-final, with links to my deviant art (and better quality pics). Cheers!

#Inqtober - 30 - Chapter Serf
A serf of the Iron Knights chapter, born from a long line of chapter serfs, and dedicated to the maintenance of the Godwyn pattern bolters of his company.
I really wanted to show off the size difference between a normal person and an Astartes Boltgun. Cheers!

#Inqtober - 29 - Street Vendor
To go along with the Festival Goer from day 9, This is the meat vendor at the festival. Another happy fellow. Perhaps they only get a shipment of real meat for the festival, and the rest of the year its corpse-starch nuggets or something.

#Inqtober - 28 - Abominable Intelligence
My first thought for the prompt had to be one of these silly little guys. A robo-squat, with a pick axe. Such a good little fellow.
I didn't have a template for the squats, nor the armour, so I had to do a fair bit for this one-off fellow. Cheers!

#Inqtober - 27 - Street Punk
I figured I would make a simple Escher Ganger for this one, maybe a novice of sorts. She's only been in a few fight so far, though shes got some scars for it.
I am starting to run out of steam a bit, but I think I will be good until the end of Inqtober. Cheers!

#Inqtober - 25 - Joyride Pilot
so originally I was going to try and paint up a vehicle of some sort, but that was going to be a bigger time-sink than I wanted, and then I remembered the Last Chancers from the old white dwarfs. Grease Monkeys crime was stealing an Eldar grav-falcon for a joyride.

#Inqtober - 24 - Faithful Retainer
This is some sort of bodyguard within an Imperial Knights house, which I always thought was one of the coolest additions from the last couple editions. However, I always wanted it to go further, with feudal lasgun-troops in support of Knights. A man can dream.

#Inqtober - 23 - Scholarum Attendee
Okay, I had a lot of fun with this one, mixing Warhammer 40k and Spy Family. I did feel the small Imperial symbol on her uniform wasn't quite enough, so I also drew her canine-servo-skull who helps her day-to-day.

#Inqtober - 22 - Domestic Servant
I just had to draw a maid for this one, in some sort of fancy spire-borne dwelling. I tried to keep the decoration minimal, with only the Aquila being prominent. Also, some sort of eye-covering so the servant class do not gaze up at the eyes of their betters.

#Inqtober - 21 - Saboteur
Some sort of deep mine worker, with a bit of a purple-ish look to him. I figured this might be some sort of true believer in the 6-armed emperor, or whatever local idea of the emperor they have on his planet. Cheers!

#Inqtober - 20 - Planetary Governor
I wanted somewhat fancy for this fellow, like perhaps he is the governor of a small mining world or something, not big and flashy, but very comfortable (especially compared to the mining-populace). Also, big moustache.

#Inqtober -19 - Xenos Navigator
Here is a jaunty Air-Caste Tau Pilot, ready to fly circles around the nearest imperial vessel (and hopefully not catch a broadside). Had fun doing up a new template for this fellow, and I will probably make more Tau templates, Cheers!

#Inqtober - 18 - Techno-Shaman
I was reading lots of the Dark Heresy RPG (and Rogue Trader) in the lead up to this month, and I loved the description of Icanthos. Basically a world of mad-max warlords, and whoever collects the most Ghost Pollen is crowned the planets governor for the next 5 years.

#Inqtober - 16 - Lurking Predator
Instead of a Tyranid or other 40k xenos, I decided to make this, a Catachan beasty. Just one of the endless predators on the planet of Catachan, it is a big-cat like creature, with a mouth like a sharks. Oh, and it leaps, out of the tall grass. Cheers!

#Inqtober - 15 - Assassinorum Student
I went fairly simple for this one, just a novitiate of some sort of death cult. Their gear resembles that of other proper assassin temples, but is of lower quality (except for the blades themselves).

#Inqtober - 14 - Suspected Daemonhost
So I figured, if I just drew a fellow with horns and warp energy, it would be more of a "Confirmed" daemonhost. This "Suspected" daemonhost is a senior administrator whose work is always beyond reproach, and yet results always lead to major logistical losses.

#Inqtober - 13 - Noble Conspirator
A very fancy member of high society, with a grav-hookah of some sort. Now, when we hear Noble Conspirator, we think they are doing some heresy or something, but what if its a conspiracy to unseat a heretical governor or the like? That's what inspired this one.

I couldn't resist drawing some sort of Penal Legion type character for this. What was his crime you ask? perhaps he was merely born to a prison colony, perhaps his great-great-great-grandparents spit in the street or something.
Warhammer 40k is a bit grimdark.

One of the names for old-timey grave-robbers, so I figured I would continue with that. Maybe he gets bodies for a Magos of the Biologis study, or maybe for terrible Chaos reasons, either way he's getting paid.
