While I'm waist deep in the process of moving, why not enjoy this Warhammer 40K Ork riding a cow?

Warhammer 40K conversion of an ork riding a cow. The cow has rockets and rollerskates while the ork carries a cobbled-together lance that is clearly overcompensating for something.

Inching ever closer to opening day: received the first metal miniatures from the casters, with more to come, but getting these packaged up now. Doing everything by hand! 😅 Really pleased with how the packaging has come out, the old school 80s-90s feel is exactly what I wanted. 😁

These remain my two fav pieces of John Blanche's art. John's art and Jes Goodwin's sculpts are the probably the two biggest factors that made me crazy for the old Citadel ADD series. Rest well, John.

John Blanche art used for the blister packs of the Citadel ADD series of miniatures. It also appeared as a full page ad in White Dwarf. The scene depicts a fighter in chainmail and plate swinging a sword that crackles faintly with electricity and a white garbed wizard while facing a green dragon, coiled around to face them.

Apparently never posted this here before. Citadel Gothic Horror "Betty" is confronted by a Night Horrors "Man in Flames" on the streets. Not clear if she's reaching for spare change or a pistol. Random trivia: the Man in Flames was previously released as a solid base Runequest "Storm Demon."
