One of Warhammer’s rarest minis and maybe the best and coolest thing I've ever painted
Submachine Gun Wizard is a total icon & I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to paint him up in my style
And I think he turned out pretty rad too 🥹

Had another chance today to give my one rock-solid bit of advice for tourists visiting the UK: instead of Stonehenge, spend the day at Avebury (You can touch the stones! There's a pub inside the circle! You can walk to Silbury Hill! It's free!)

Today is the 30th anniversary of the PS1 in Japan.
One of its most notable moments came five months later, at E3 1995.
Sega had just announced that the Saturn would cost $399 in the US. Sony's conference followed, and Steve Race dropped the three words that would change gaming.
