Some Trench, some Turnip, some Nurgle, and a Toad.
New Antioch Lieutenant for Trench Crusade Toad, from Marvel: Crisis Protocol. I don't know if he is damp, but he is named "Toad" and they're not known for being dry. Nurgle Lord in a pretty fetching red scheme, if I do say so myself. Turnip28 mini kitbashed from Victrix Agincourt and Napoleonic kits, with some Cawdor candles.

Oh, while we're living the dream, I think Veyran works here, too?
Veyran, Voice of Duality: if casting or copying an instant or sorcery spell causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time

Maybe, but I hardly think Winota or Kinnan are unique in that someone with bad intent could build a deck with them to go stomp people in a lower bracket. Especially bracket 1, which is vibes-based at the best of times and essentially *requires* conversation to work.
Exhibition (Bracket 1) Update: Focus on Theme Hand in hand with this, and you saw a little of this above, we really want to double down on Exhibition's intent being all about theme over function. While rule zero—the ability to allow things with a pregame discussion—is always active for people at all bracket levels (other than cEDH), we want to loudly emphasize that here.

Thanks! It's from one of the Horus Heresy character heads upgrade sets.

Gryphonicus walks!

Reaver-class engines Fury Intractable, Voltastus, and Gryphonne Indomitus stride through shattered streets, supporting an Ultramarines advance.

Finished up a Ferrox maniple for a wee doubles event this weekend.

#adeptustitanicus #legiogryphonicus #horusheresy
A Reaver-class titan in the grey and yellow livery of the Legio Gryphonicus steps up from a roadway onto a raised plaza, having smashed through a building in the process. It points a melta cannon at the camera and winds up its power fist to strike. The nameplate on the base reads, "Fury Intractable." A Reaver-class titan in the grey and yellow livery of the Legio Gryphonicus advances at an angle across a street lined with smashed columns. A pair of Ultramarines at its feet are using the columns for cover. The nameplate on its base reads, "Voltastus." A Reaver-class titan in the grey and yellow livery of the Legio Gryphonicus stands at an intersection, feet planted squarely in the rubble. A Tarantula sentry gun in Ultramarines blue sits at one corner of the intersection. The nameplate on its base reads, "Gryphonne Indomitus."

The Brotherhood of Mutants do like a bit of purple
Magneto from the Marvel: Crisis Protocol skirmish game. He's floating above a mass of twisted metal in a superhero pose, wearing a red jumpsuit and big purple cape. Toad from the Marvel: Crisis Protocol skirmish game. He's leaping over a brick wall with his big weird tongue lashing out. He wears a yellow jumpsuit with purple boots, gloves, and collar.

What about Garna? She does have a couple of cards already, but I still don't think she's exactly well-known. And she's a Human Warrior who cares about the graveyard.

Our mum took my sister and I to the local GW (cunningly positioned next to a big movie theatre, where impressionable youths could pass by and see it) and bought us the 6th edition Warhammer Fantasy Battle starter box to split. Thus ensuring I'd never have the money for a drug habit.
The box art for the 6th edition WHFB starter set depicting Orcs and men of the Empire in the heat of battle. Blistering fantasy artwork! The contents of the same box. The Orcs got a Warboss on boar, 18 Boyz, 16 Arrer Boyz, and a Boar Chariot. The Empire got a Captain on a horse, 18 Spearmen, 16 Handgunners, and a Cannon. Also included are a sweet cardboard punch-out building, some dice, the full rulebook, and a set of the iconic red whippy sticks.

Okay, Ellie is pretty good. I might have to pick this one up. I can already see some sort of infinite shenanigans with Gravecrawler.

And if I squint hard enough, I can pretend she's a Survivor from Duskmorne.

I hadn't looked, because Drukhari aren't my thing, but it's nice to see we're getting absolutely rorted in New Zealand, as usual.

At least you can just about get free shipping on her 🙄

This guy's been sitting at about 75% done since, like, July, and now I'm finishing him up for a Horus Heresy event next week.

A recent one that I'm quite happy with, painted only using the John Blanche Masterclass sets
Cleric miniature from Reaper Bones. Her robes are dark brown, going from cool shadows to warm highlights, trimmed with purple. She's wearing armour and carrying a mace painted in a worn steel. Her shield is purple, trimmed with a rich gold. The rear of the same model, showing her cloak.
