Retouching this classic SCE Lord-Veritant as a gift for a friend, as she learns a bit about AoS. She has always admired my Celestial Vindicators collection. I hope you enjoy this mini as well. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar

I cant wait for the Star Trek Magic the Gathering set to have a bonus sheet of screen grabs from the TV show in 480p, filmed on VHS, no retouching, and reprints of $70 commander staples. Neelix cooking as Chrome Mox. Quark playing Tongo as Rhystic Study. Isn't Magic great...?

Marty, painting a Space Marine vignette??? Waaaat?
Working on a special exhibit for an online painting competition due in December, for homebrew Space Marine Chapters. I'm excited to share the finished product soon.

I painted Martin Sheen as his character on The West Wing, and today at NYCC, he signed the piece. He was very impressed and wanted to know more about my Warhammer artwork. Nerd dream come true today!! #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer

I painted a new Inquisitor, for the Ordo Chronos. The first model for a brand new 40k army I'm working on. Should be done in time for the 2026 Grand Narrative. Exciting! #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k

Everything I painted since mid-May. 200 hours, I counted all the time I was at my hobby desk. Gaming armies, a display miniature, samples for GW, and one last surprise for the Nova Open 😉...

Working on a Celestial Warbringers Questor. She is part of my custom Callis and Toll Warband. Carrying an elvish greatsword and a most-definitely cursed Tzeentch dagger, it's safe to say this is a unique champion of Sigmar. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar #stormcasteternals

Justiciar Aristride Torchia, my new custom hero for the Mirrored Edge S2D army. Counts-as a Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount.

It's finally happening. We love Warhammer canon here, but sometimes fun transcends universes and beyond 😉

Finished up Hanniver Toll. My take on a Lumineth-aligned Callis and Toll. I swapped the tropes of the two heroes (veteran gunslinger, and initiate witch hunter) while adding just a bit of elf bling. #paintingwarhammer

Working on the unit champion for my Bladelords, and an allied Witch Hunter for tournament play.
For me, I try to blur the distinction between Old World and AoS, I like the idea of continued themes and challenging the separation of ideas. Thats why my LRL look as they do. #warhammercommunity #aos

I made a custom Lumineth army standard bearer. I combined the base kit with old Caledor parts and now it looks straight out of a JRPG, I love it. #PaintingWarhammer #warhammercommunity

I am painting up a unit of classic plastic Swordmasters to match my Vanari Bladelords. It is an interesting window into a timeline where I only had the old models for this project. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar #luminethrealmlords #warhammertheoldworld

Painted a bit last night and an hour before work this morning. I was told there needed to be some orange from the fire, on her face. Because it would tint pale/white skin. I'm not sure if its too much or not enough. But I think the glow is now okay on her clothing and hair

I painted the Quicksilver Swords for my Lumineth army yesterday. From start to finish. They might finally be good now. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity

My Mirrored Edge took home GOLD in paint at the Warhammer Open Dallas. I won a few games too 😉 I think I am ready to pivot back to Lumineth. I am liking the new GHB rules. #WarhammerCommunity #paintingwarhammer
