Krorks are a self replicating ecosystem engineered by the Old Ones that can survive in deep space and self-propagates. Life on earth might have been started from space spores. Are we.. are we the Krorks? #WarhammerCommunity

Sub assemblies are a good idea yeah! I don't paint myself but when building stuff for commissions it's still something to consider with complicated models.

Legitimately think I've seen the future today. Strap in folks. Whatever is happening next. It's happening. Rise or fall. Probably both. The only question is sequencing and distribution. "The future is already here - it's just not very evenly distributed." GreatDismal

It´s fun to use in my opinion! Full disclosure we were one of the first couple of indie game teams using it to ship a game with All Walls Must Fall and shared an office with the dev team at Saftladen in Berlin. :)

Master of Skitarii, painted for Cubicle 7 / Games Workshop 2 years ago. Again it's small vignette with a quite narrow range of time to finish. Btw. I like the color scheme GW has given the Mechanicum ... #Warhammer40k #AdeptusMechanicus #Skitarii #DarkFantasyArt #ConceptArt #HelgeCBalzer #Painting

One carries his scabbard, the other has some sort of pole.

HOT FRESH NEW ART - got a few pieces to show, but let's start with the Order of the Charred Veil's icon, for the Macharian Adversary Guide for the 40k ttrpg Imperium Maledictum:
A veiled charred skull, without jawbone, one fleur de lys on the brow, another inverted below the teeth. It's backed on to a flat metal sculpted silver flame, which in turn is backed on to a series of charred bones, and an arch behind those. Beside the skull are braziers with more flat metal sculpted silver flames, and at the base of the image is a rather lively scroll.

I dunno Pokemon enough but she's very curious/smart but also very cautious. When those two natures conflict it leads to what we call the chameleon dance - a back and forwards forward motion when she approaches the intriguing(!) unknown(?). What's that in Pokemon?

Ok but I gotta ask what parts went into the head? I'm seeing Daemonette claw and an armiger head underneath. I cannot surely identify the other parts used here like the armor plate and whatever else is going on here. Strictly asking so I can steal this not gonna lie.

Very interesting use of bits. Took me a while to grog at least most of them. I really like the head as well. It's giving Slaanesh Subjugator vibes.
