No Chaos army is truly done without a ravening horde- these Darkoath Marauders are a perfect example. A rough and ready mix of very ordinary conanesque warriors ready to do battle with the forces of Order

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Chaos Warriors! I've done some subtle kitbashes and alternate schemes here to give a varied, hodgepodge unit, who still have a coherent identity

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

Hendrick, the Silver Wolf.

Probably my favourite sculpt of the squad, he's world-weary, leaning on his axe, and holds a dagger ready to stab, implying the constant betrayals he has to inflict to stop Naeve discovering her true past

Naeve Blacktalon, ready to do Sigmar's bidding! I really like the awkward balance this character toes of genuinely trying to help people whilst also being very much a carefully controlled weapon.

Naeve Blacktalon. She is... having a wonderful time.

Painted up the Cursed Sepulchre(s). Despite being speedy work with drybrushing and contrast washes (and a lot of Army Painter Light Tone), I'm really happy with the end results

The Aetheric Navigator, whilst not technically a Wizard, is about as close as the Kharadron get.

I really like these from Suggz-

The minis are an expercise in body horror, and unfortunately the Eavy Metal style kinda neutered that.

With bolder, more visceral tones, more grime and gore, we go from "this is weird and bad," to "This is deeply weird, what happened to these *people* oh no,"

And here is my take on Kamandora's blades!!

I think adding some varying skin tones & warpaint/blood (especially around the mouth) did loads for these guys and i'm really not mad at them at all!

I think they look dare i say... kinda cool!

But let me know what you think 👀

A Fire Warrior I got as the model of the month. Very nostalgic, and nice to paint a simpler, sleeker model for once

Minor IP interlude-

Following the Thatcher's case, Aldi have quietly and without any fuss started amending the trade dress of their products to be less similar to the Big Brands.

Neat to see abstract court cases having an (albeit limited) impact in my daily life
BEANZ! Aldi Beans- note that the badge is now a slice of Toast, not a shield, and it's a deep blue background, not a red one. Gold doesn't significantly feature in the design, but orange is used more prominently as a spot colour. The old Aldi design- much closer to Heinz's Beans.

To round out the unit, the Doom Knight, who knows full well that Black never truly goes out of style.

This angry Khornite Knight (try saying that three times quickly!) Can outrun many things on his way into battle, but he can't outrun the creeping uncertainty that his anger is really just a reflection of his need to form meaningful connections

A red Knight on a red horse. His tatty white Cape is all mucky! He must have been careless with some strawberry jam A red Knight on a red horse. His lance has the number "7," etched on it. Probably some kind of shopping list.

Archaeon, The Everchosen, Grand Marshal of the Apocalypse. Loves a good title almost as much as he loves gobbling up Greater Daemons.

Really fun project, but tricky in places- hard to tell where some textures begin and end.

For the last month or so, I've been painting away like a madman to get ready for this weekend's Teams tournament- I'm all set and ready 1110 points in under a month. Feels good to be done

On this June 1st, shoutout to the real ones.
The landscape of Ghur, a realm of beasts. Above the horizon are the faded faces of a Bonesplitter orruk, a gor from the Beasts of Chaos, and a Stormcast member of the Sacrosanct chamber. The bottom text says “See you space cowboy…”

Okay then. If we didn't launch these LE shirts today, we'd be missing a trick and that was definitely the plan all along 👀

Fantastic Trans Rebel Leia shirts designed by @tammi.bsky.social

Each sale enables a contribution to the MERMAIDS charity, supporting trans children & teenagers in the UK.
Tammi giving it rock horns wearing a Leia Trans Rebel shirt. Me and my office monstera plant wearing a Leia Trans Rebel shirt. Well I am, the cheesy's au naturel.

An utterly vile bunch, the Grandfather's Gardeners are equal parts loathsome and pathetic. Really nice change of pace to just throw paint on a model

Liberators, the bread and butter of the Stormcast line, deckchair sitters par excellence.

I've tried to give all of these some measure of personality or theme, to varying degrees of success
