I repainted Abraxia’s face after seeing Valera Lutfullina’s cover treatment for the limited edition hardback. Such a great piece.

And, in the same time span, these guys. When I started collecting Age of Sigmar, Varanguard were unimaginably intimidating minis. I have now painted six of them and this is still the case.

Also! All of these minis correspond to characters in the novel. According to me, anyway.

There’s something incredibly funny to me about getting a buzzy recap of that time I got laid off

Analogous with populist politicians who thrive in opposition but are quickly exposed when they actually have to govern - just a pity they need to get elected for that to happen. Funny how "actually holding people accountable for the claims they make" is the common element, there.

I'm all in favour of Chaos Christmas. Abraxia's probably the least festive book I've written - it's more of a breezy beach read - but enjoy!

Due to scheduling weirdness, Grombrindal was also up for the 2024 vote earlier this year, alongside Darkoath. I've managed to split my own vote twice with a single book. Good job, Grombrindal.
