A few favourites from my Horde

No Chaos army is truly done without a ravening horde- these Darkoath Marauders are a perfect example. A rough and ready mix of very ordinary conanesque warriors ready to do battle with the forces of Order

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Vibrant, Decadent warriors of Slaanesh, it's a striking scheme, but pink is tricky to work in.

Nurgle's pox-riddled Warriors. I used texture paste to give the armour a worn, rusty texture

Bloodthirsty Khorne-Sworn wartiors- I love how the capes especially have come out

The Classic black-clad warriors, ominous and sinister. They march under a banner depicting a stricken Pheonix, referencing some cool recent lore.

Chaos Warriors! I've done some subtle kitbashes and alternate schemes here to give a varied, hodgepodge unit, who still have a coherent identity

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

Lorai of the Abyss. I love how the silvery-blue metal's come out, and the general study in blue has gone well

Shakana and her wee bird pet- moody, a little Edgy and stealthy

Rostus Oxenhammer, stocky, solid, dependable.

The Blacktalons are Finally finished! Feeling quite confident with metallics now!

Hendrick, the Silver Wolf.

Probably my favourite sculpt of the squad, he's world-weary, leaning on his axe, and holds a dagger ready to stab, implying the constant betrayals he has to inflict to stop Naeve discovering her true past

Naeve Blacktalon. She is... having a wonderful time.

Naeve Blacktalon, ready to do Sigmar's bidding! I really like the awkward balance this character toes of genuinely trying to help people whilst also being very much a carefully controlled weapon.

Painted up the Cursed Sepulchre(s). Despite being speedy work with drybrushing and contrast washes (and a lot of Army Painter Light Tone), I'm really happy with the end results

The Aetheric Navigator, whilst not technically a Wizard, is about as close as the Kharadron get.

I really like these from Suggz-

The minis are an expercise in body horror, and unfortunately the Eavy Metal style kinda neutered that.

With bolder, more visceral tones, more grime and gore, we go from "this is weird and bad," to "This is deeply weird, what happened to these *people* oh no,"

An space Elf with his zap gun, he looks pretty neato

Postin' Elf Butts on the Interneeett

A Fire Warrior I got as the model of the month. Very nostalgic, and nice to paint a simpler, sleeker model for once

For a long time, aldi has gotten by on this kind of "nudge-nudge, wink-wink," arrangement with the consumer- you know Aldi sells knockoffs of the big brands, so you're rarely accidentally buying the wrong thing, but you are aware of what brand you are replacing

BEANZ! Aldi Beans- note that the badge is now a slice of Toast, not a shield, and it's a deep blue background, not a red one. Gold doesn't significantly feature in the design, but orange is used more prominently as a spot colour.

The old Aldi design- much closer to Heinz's Beans.

Minor IP interlude-

Following the Thatcher's case, Aldi have quietly and without any fuss started amending the trade dress of their products to be less similar to the Big Brands.

Neat to see abstract court cases having an (albeit limited) impact in my daily life

A Chaos Knight, clad in black atop a savage-looking mutant horse

A Chaos Knight, clad in black. His hammer glows and smoulders

To round out the unit, the Doom Knight, who knows full well that Black never truly goes out of style.

A red Knight on a red horse. His tatty white Cape is all mucky! He must have been careless with some strawberry jam

A red Knight on a red horse. His lance has the number "7," etched on it. Probably some kind of shopping list.

This angry Khornite Knight (try saying that three times quickly!) Can outrun many things on his way into battle, but he can't outrun the creeping uncertainty that his anger is really just a reflection of his need to form meaningful connections

A Nurglite Knight, I like to think he hacks and spews into his little trumpet

The hardest part of freehanding a banner, I find, is working out what to draw on it. A Tzeenchian Knight

It's subtle, but I really like how the conversion on this cheery fellow came out.

And some more shots from other angles

Archaeon, The Everchosen, Grand Marshal of the Apocalypse. Loves a good title almost as much as he loves gobbling up Greater Daemons.

Really fun project, but tricky in places- hard to tell where some textures begin and end.

For the last month or so, I've been painting away like a madman to get ready for this weekend's Teams tournament- I'm all set and ready 1110 points in under a month. Feels good to be done
