More Helsmiths of Hashut! I finished the launch box, and now I'm on to some second wave kits.

This one is the Ashen Elder, somehow the first priest model I've painted in 7 or 8 years of playing #ageofsigmar.

Helsmiths of Hashut Ashen Elder. An old dwarf whose purple skin has begun turning to stone wears black and red robes with a white priest's scarf with infernal writing on it. He wields a warhammer and a staff that belches forth demonic flames.

Bubble, bubble, toil, and trouble. Except the cauldron is also a hat.

The Helsmiths project marches on, now with a War Despot leading the way. He's a tremendous representation of how self-obsessed and ostentatious the Chaos Dwarfs are.

#Nerdlings #warhammer #aos
Helsmiths of Hashut War Despot miniature. He wears red robes and a red helm with gold crest and black horns. He wears armour, but you can't see it behind his gigantic, bejeweled beard. He carries a glaive charged with glowing green demonic energy.

Working on a test model for my Helsmiths of Hashut colour scheme. It's mostly there, but it still needs a little bit of tweaking, I think.

Love a good desert base. They're really easy, but always add good atmosphere to a model.

My most recent cover, for Rent-A-Thug - La Cosa Glasnostra, is one of my favourites. I was riffing on a lot of elements of old pulp novel covers, which was a lot of fun.

In this week's Hell, Inc. comic, Doug is abusing photocopier privileges for office games so much that he might as well move his desk into the copier room.

Read it here! hell.rentathugcomics.com/comic/dougs-...
Hell, Inc. comic panel. Three demons - Vicky, Diane, and Doug - are in the copy room of their office floor, where they have been abusing the photocopier for office games. Vicky asks Doug "weren't you just in here?" Doug replies "I'm up and down all day. Do you think B.L. Zebub would notice if I just moved my desk in here?"
