Cheers guys, Dr Ork loves you too! He's doing a special mates rates festive discount on replacing limbs with a bionic heavy autogun / drill bit bionic combo if anyone's keen.

Nice drawing Dr Norton - it just needs a gridlock of stalled English cars trying to get into a £30/day Pen Y Pass carpark that's been full since 5:59am, and a bunch of Welsh locals shuffling along keying them and kicking off wing mirrors....

Drew this the other day of Pen Y Pass YHA, where I spent a few seasons.

Great work, like the minimal approach, although the clear sky is unrealistic :)

Thanks guys. It certainly is an idealised image...

The usual bollox, in lieu of any sort of challenging climbing / training....(although I think I did these slowly and sporadically enough to not detract from my rehab, at least).

Two models that aren't Warhammer but closely resemble Warhammer Chaos factions - Nurgle sorceror first with the usual rot and decay (albeit a bit less gruesome  than normal, and maybe a hint of Tzeentch in there??), and Khorne warrior second with traditional red / gold armour.

I was trying a few focused painting styles - really rich and sharp red on the warrior, and pastels, colour fades, and stippling on the sorceror.









It would be nice if the forum software would actually post images at the correct size instead of inflating them to some random size it pulls out of it's arse  ::)

What's better than a Dwarf in power armour??

A Dwarf in power armour with a flamethrower, of course. Next question!

Really happy with most of the painting on this one especially the armour. Quite unhappy with the photos which for some reason decided to pick out all the -micro-roughness from the varnish and other imperfections as if they were the main focus 🙄 Although at least it got the colours spot on.

Special Wellsy's knee recovery commiseration triple edition:

(aka I'd *much* rather be posting about climbing)
((aka don't get lower limb and upper limb injuries at the same time whatever you do))
(((aka I'm dreading to see how badly UBB's auto-image-sizing bullshit will fuck up the pictures this time)))

Nearly happened last night, this was the curry I ordered:

Quote
Devils Naga
Phall style dish cooked with tiger naga chillies, giving a very evil hot & tasty flavour
They're not wrong. The sauce looked like just pureed chillies. I managed 7 mouthfuls including 5 bits of chicken over 45 mins and had to bin the remaining 2/3 of the dish.

Anyway, yeah, they're smol. I do have decades of practise though, and high quality small brushes (Windsor and Newton Series 7 sizes 00 and 000 for the fine details). I definitely can't paint any detail work after coffee as I'm too shaky  ::)

Do they see use for gaming, or is it purely for the love of art? Gorgeous work either way.

It's purely to obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul. No gaming, i did try years ago but kinda went for a lower-powered army (Dwarfs) and wasn't very good at it. It was entertaining doing quicker army standard painting though. These current ones take a loonnngggg time.

Fiend, your painting is excellent. Really impressive stuff. I've been painting some little lads and lasses myself of late, and used them in some games too





Nothing like fiends but okay enough!

Nice one Wellsy. Strong squad look. Is that Infinity (at a very vague guess)??

Yeah, brilliant game. Getting in a couple of matches a week right now which is cool. Very different from 40k or anything like that. Skirmishy and quite cyberpunk in vibe
