Crooked Dice Night Terrors - 80s Personality Fantasy Characters

 Here are some miniatures I painted for Crooked Dice a few months ago, for their currently running "Night Terrors" Kickstarter campaign. Some fun stuff in this one! 

 Can you guess which 1980s personalities these pay homage to? 

Hydra Space Pirates Characters - Retro Raygun - Vera Thorne - The Butcher

Here a two of the upcoming releases for the Retro Raygun Space Pirates faction, which I painted for Hydra Miniatures.

Vera Thorne, a fierce Space Pirate leader with a boson pistol and combat knife. 

 

 

The Butcher, a homicidal enforcer wielding a massive boarding axe.

 

 

Cultists - Crooked Dice Folk Horror

I've been painting for a couple of different companies for the last few months, with very little movement on my own projects. Recently, I managed to finish off a group of four cultists from Crooked Dice, hopefully we will see some more from the Folk Horror range soon.

Marshal of Cavalry - Turnip 28

A few months ago I finished up a cavalry master for the Parsnip Empress's horse squadrons. I used a 3d printed "Mutant horse" from Schlossbauer, with a Perry hussar and some greenstuff. 

I've been dabbling with Adobe Premiere and decided to knock out a little video since this model is hard to see from one view.

Space Pirates - Hydra Miniatures Retro Raygun

Hydra Miniatures send me some miniatures to paint for their new Retro Raygun faction, the "Space Pirates".

There are four trooper bodies, two leaders, and a few head varaints.

Harrow'e'een on Ophatran Secundus - Spirits of the Warp

 

Excerpt from Esoteric Pilgrimage Destinations of the Gothic Sector, Volume 7, by Adept Matthias Laetorius.

"The Harrow'e'en celebration on Ophatran Secundus coincides with the traditional yearly arrival of the Emperor's Tithe Fleet. Although major functions begin a day before the first voidship docks with the orbital stations above the planet, there are several preparatory stages. The most important ritual observance, which sets the date of Harrow'e'en, is a confluence of officials from the Adeptus Astra Telepathica and the Navis Nobilite. The assembled adepts consult the planet's ancient orrery, and contact the fleet's chief astropath to pinpoint the imminent arrival."

 

 

 
"Once the arrival date has been formally announced by the Imperial Governor, and the Bells of Warning are sounded, the citizens of the capitol throng to the shrine district. The multitudes pass through the Crusader Gates and into the Ecclesiastic precinct. Crusaders stand in watchful vigil and priests find positions that carry their voices to the crowds. The people of Ophatran believe that vengeful and malignant warp entities cling to the voidships, and that the veil between the Empyrean and reality are thin on Harrow'e'en. The priests recite horrifying tales of these creatures of the Immaterium, and the prayers to combat them."

 

 

 

 

"The most exciting event, certainly from the perspective of the children, is the day preceding the docking of the first voidship. On this day, most of the citizens stay indoors, and those that venture out are likely to meet with a raucous procession led by ‘Spirits of the Warp’. Children that are able to recite their hymns are allowed to wear outlandish costumes, and they roam the streets seeking citizens for the procession to test.

 

Anyone targeted and detained by these roaming rapscallions must stop and recite the proper prayers of protection, or suffer chastisement from the Adepta Sororitas that accompany the procession.”

 

 

 

 

 

  

Kal Jericho - Black Library Limited Edition

I picked up a limited edition Kal Jericho a few months ago, after someone pointed out that he showed up in the 54mm "Inquisitor" range. Since I have vowed to complete all of the 28mm Inquisition and Henchmen GW have released, he seemed like a technical inclusion I couldn't neglect.

This is the first of three different versions GW has released of this Necromunda character. Hope to have them done before the end of the year!
