Harrow'e'en on Ophatran Secundus - 2025

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 yearly arrival of the Emperor's Tithe Fleet. The people of Ophatran believe that horrifying and devious warp entities cling to the arriving voidships,  and that these malignant spirits  seek to  travel to the planet surface. The veil between the Empyrean and reality are thinnest on Harrow'e'en according to the citizens, so the Tithe Fleet arrival is a time of great peril. The Adeptus Ministorum has of course contemplated this interesting belief and decreed there to be no conflict with the Imperial Faith. The priesthood of the planet support it fully.”

  

 

 “The day preceding the docking of the first voidship is the most active as the populace prepares for the arrival. 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’. This parade is sponsored by the Order of the Ossuary, a sanctioned mendicant society of relic venerators. The most devout among them may be selected to personify a Spirit of the Warp, a symbolic representation of the fears of the populace.” 

 

 

 

 “Children that are able to recite their hymns of protection are allowed to wear bizarre and creative costumes. These wildly attired rapscallions spend the day roaming the streets seeking citizens for the procession to test. Anyone detained by the roaming children must stop and recite the proper prayers of protection to the nearest Sister of the Order Famulous.  Woe to the unprepared citizen who is surrounded by these enthusiastic imps and knows not their Harrow’e’en prayers!”

 

2nd Edition 40k Adeptus Arbites

Another installment of old Adeptus Arbites, a project I've been VERY slowly adding to over the years. 

The majority are standard bolter armed troopers, along with the grenadier. The plasma gunner (an option in the old Citadel Journal army list) is a digital kitbash. The Arbites Commander is a converted Ursarkar Creed with a new helmet (the helmet eagle getting a second head to reference the Imperial Aquila). Grinding off Creed's head, while leaving the Judge Dredd style mouth scowl was not an easy task! 

 

Kal Jericho and Scabbs

Up for perusal is a well known duo from the Necromunda Black Library books, Kal Jericho and Scabbs. This pair of metal miniatures was originally released between 1999 and 2005 according to the Collecting Citadel Miniatures guide. This is the second version of Kal in 28mm scale. 

 

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.
