This poor catachan counted the pain level with one, two, or three hemavores bursting from him!

The idea was that the same victim became more messed up and mutated as the pain level increased. This poor victim is having his bones grow hideously thanks to a Haemonculus virus.

Remember when #Drukhari were called #DarkEldar and they had pain counters?

I made a gruesome set of custom ones for a Haemonculus Coven commission I had. #warhammer40k

See a vampire, post a vampire 🦇

This is The Master, Patriarch of the Cult of the Omega Strain, and heavily inspired by Guillermo del Toro's The Strain.

Calling all artistic humans!

Post one piece to convince folks to follow you.

According to the internet, mine is this ancient Dactylis I made for Moloch's Hive Fleet Ouroboros 🤷🏼

Been cooking on a secret something for a while now with Curtis over at Ramshackle Games, and I'm excited to finally be able to announce it!

For the first time ever, you can buy my sculpts! We're starting with some alien terrain 👾

In case you're interested, my Killteam from #hivefleetangrboda is featured in this month's issue of White Dwarf!

Pretty happy to see it!

Yeah, I sent them a photo of my scratch sculpted DominaNid, and they were like "that's nice. Let us know when it's painted. We can't feature it like this." 😐

Some exciting things sculpted by me are on the way and can be yours very soon...

... Soon like this weekend.

If you're a fan of my #Tyranids, you just might want to pick up White Dwarf #517 when it goes on sale this Saturday 👀

If you see a hobby post on here, and you like it...

You MUST comment. Even if it's just to say "this is really great!"

I don't know if it's a platform or an ennui thing, but I feel like Bluesky has way, way fewer comments than Twitter ever did.

Let's do more to encourage our hobby buddies!

And here's the Roberto Cirillo reference concept sketch I'm working from.

Got some reinforcing work in on the bonesword for the Living Hive Winged Tyrant. I used pure kneadatite greenstuff, rather than mix with Apoxie Sculpt, as the rubbery texture is less likely to break under any stress.

On last night's stream I made some progress on the Living Hive Hive Tyrant (tm Dan Caplinger). This was inspired by a photo of a mash up of Drycha and a Hive Tyrant, which I've tried to modify to integrate elements of the two models more closely.

Here's the stream: www.youtube.com/live/Ysn0ZBn...

Google just reminded me it's been 17 years since we won best table at Games Day Toronto 2008 with the Infestation of Casavant Prime. Still very proud of that work, and glad to have shared it with my late friend Ross Nickel.
