An old space marine mini painted mostly in silver. Its gun has been slightly modified with a 3D printed magazine.

A close up of its shoulder pad where I have painted a modified version of the Imperial Aquila. It is holding an axe and a rod. It’s the symbol of the Ordo Malleus.

Got it into my head that I wanted to paint a Rogue Trader era Grey Knight (from before they had terminators). There isn’t much info on how they looked that I could find beyond black and white art and a single β€˜Eavy Metal image, so I did my best.

Yes, the icon was a nightmare, thanks for asking.

Over the summer I did a fun little collage project: making an entire proxy #MagictheGathering #MtGCommander deck from scrap magazines, art books and assorted visual junk. Loved every second of it.

Now to just get in the table for game!

Thankfully being fed a lot of out-there indie animator stuff on Insta lately, and it’s really reminded me of how important this kind of art is.

It takes me back to the early days of watching David Firth and Cyriak cartoons on long-forgotten Flash sites. Back when the internet was truly alive.

And now, a large vehicle (in 15mm scale).
It's about 75mm long, and primarily resin (evidently, printed).
The model is from Slave2Gaming.

This is brother Victor. He has a bit of a story. Rescued from a pond in Victoria Park, washed off and posted on the internet. I felt a terrible need to restore him to fighting fitness. You can read Victor’s story here: mrsaturdaysmumblings.blogspot.com/2017/02/savi...

Government style ad in watercolour. Image of a burglar stealing a painting from the wall of a home. Tagline: "It's not theft... if you say you're using it to train your AI algorithm". Body text: "Theft is now legal, so we can boost the economy by eliminating jobs. If that doesn't make any sense, ask a chatbot to explain it to you." HM government logo in the corner.
