Torgillius was a member of their order but turned his back on them, taking their research into grave-sand phylacteries and throwing in his lot with the vampires that came to rule the city. The chamberlain’s knowledge…

HOW TO PAINT Vellas Von Faine, CRIMSON COURT.

Halloween is a time of subversion. And none more so than for Vellas Von Faine. When the usual norms are upended, even if it is for one night. When a lord can dress as a peasant, a man as a woman, a politician as an honest man. We can all break societal norms without transgressing…

WARHAMMER Cursed City: Vykros Bloodbourne

WARHAMMER Cursed City Vykros Bloodbourne. What is the vampire aesthetic? Warhammer is a strange mix of 80’s hair metal, Bram Stokers Dracula, and Vallejo art. The Vykros Bloodbourne definitely have an 80’s vibe. The hair, the feral snarl, the loincloth – all hallmarks of the 80’s. The pictures – I’ve been asked what is a…

LIZARDMEN TEAM TEAM PHOTO! Greebo Games Lizardmen Blood Bowl Commission.

Phew, and it’s done! Below is the full team shot ready to ogle. It’s worth reflecting on the initial design process with the client, and see how that evolved into the paint scheme.

PRIMAL MAGE PORAKA. Greebo Games Lizardmen Blood Bowl Commission.

The client who commissioned this team is a Manchester United fan, and like most fans of the club, they don’t have a great deal of respect for the owners. I printed out a few images of Avram Glazer, one of the owners, and used them to riff off. Even though Avram is a fairly conventional-looking…
