Y’know, the 1987 Fantasy Regiments Skaven mini really holds up, especially for a plastic mini.

Immolating the hiveworld. Immolating the xenos. Immolating all the heretics, and their filthy artifacts!

Finished Immolator, ready to do battle! Decently pleased with the finish product, though I'd redo some things.

I do like a reddish Martian base on a model. All my Space Wolves and upcoming Ultramarines have that. But I did do this madness for Armies in Parade a few years ago ...

Discworld QOTD, from Small Gods

That's why it's always worth having a few philosophers around the place. One minute it's all is truth beauty and is beauty truth, and does a falling tree in the forest make a sound if there's no one there to hear it, and then just when you think they're going to start dribbling one of 'em says, incidentally, putting a thirty-foot parabolic reflector on a high place to shoot the rays of the sun at an enemy's ships would be a very interesting demonstration of optical principles.

Does anyone have pics of this model painted? I’m in desperate need of reference. I don’t know what the heck is happening with those boots and I can’t find anything but a rough scan of the catalogue page. #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

Finished this Inquisitor last night in preparation for the upcoming Crusade!

Lore-wise, I'm thinking she hails from Catachan, as seen by her never skipping arm day.

Now, all she needs is a name....

Any ideas?

One of the cartoons in my new book 'Physics for Cats' which is out now in the UK, USA, Canada, France and Germany. Order from your local bookshops or online: www.tomgauld.com/

Two beetles on a stick.
One beetle says to the other "Do you ever get the feeling we are being observed by another lifeform"
Zoom out to reveal that they are in a glass case with two scientists studying them.
One scientist says to the other "Do you ever get the feeling we are being observed by another lifeform"
Zoom out into space. Abouard a spaceship, two aliens watch the scientists on a screen.
One alien says to the other "Do you ever get the feeling we are being observed by another lifeform"
The aliens turn to look out at the reader.

Text below the cartoon reads:
From 'Physics for Cats' by Tom Gauld. Preorder it at www.tomgauld.
