I picked up the Worms Advent Calendar for the boy. I guess I'm stuck painting all these little charmers now.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi from Warlord Games. I copied the colour scheme from the piece of artwork that clearly inspired the sculpt. I think it works well.

A pair of Gellerpox Infected that I have recently painted. They will probably end up in my Death Guard as fancy Poxwalkers, TBH.

More Greathelm goodness. The Kickstarter is going very well. This could be big!
Also, "Kabuto" is officially happening. I cannot wait to do the exact same thing with Samurai, once the artwork is released.

My interpretation of the Observer for Trench Crusade. I took some liberties on the armour, but I think the colours work nicely, overall.
