My entry for the Nova Open painting competition this weekend is a big one. Warhammer: Crimson Dawn is a 75mm scale examination of my homebrew Lumineth Realm-lords in games of Age of Sigmar. It was a behemoth task to paint and wrap up in time for the con. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity

The hype cycle begins. I have been working on a surprise all summer. A big miniature for the Nova Open. Join me on this reveal journey. A Crimson Dawn is on the way. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar

A zoomed-in photo of a miniature, depicting what appears to be an armored hand gripping a sword. The photo is intentionally altered to obscure detail, for purposes of building anticipation for a later reveal. The text centered on the photo is "9 days.", referring to a countdown.

Got my first game in with the Custodes for 11th edition. And my first ever win with the army since I started them in 2024 😂 I am trying a bit more deliberately this edition.

Gloriana of Thessaly, Ordo Chronos Inquisitor Lord. A homebrew ally of convenience to my Adeptus Custodes. Made from a kitbash of Warhammer Quest, 40k, and Old World kits.

Took me 11 years. It takes some folks 2 weeks, but that's okay by me. Still glad it happened. Thank you all for 10k on Instagram

Ordo Chronos Inquisitor Lord kitbash, complete. I used a WHQ Cursed City character, plus some Chaos Space Marine and classic Empire bits, to complete the conversion. She is injecting time directly into her veins for more power over the Warp. Talk about a wacky relationship with productivity lol

WIP on more Custodes. 1. Allarus-Aquilon Hybrid armor, to add height and hefty to the terminator silhouettes, requires a bit of sculpting to join it all together 2. Custom Sisters of Silence squad that is also a legal KillTeam warband, using the Sisters of Battle equipment.

A kitbash of the plastic Allarus Custodians kit, and resin Aquilon Terminators, plus lots of green stuff epoxy putty holding it all together.

A Warhammer conversion of the Adepta Sororitas Kill Team plus Warhammer Fantasy and Adeptus Custodes model kit parts.

Nathain Ghau - Eye of the Emperor A unique attachment to a Custodian Guard squad for upcoming narrative play games. I wanted to imbue as much storytelling as possible for an otherwise limited aesthetic that Custodes have. I hope you enjoy. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity

EYE OF THE EMPEROR kitbash. Retired, crippled Custodes who venture to the farthest rim of the 40k galaxy to spy for Terra, and gather exotic loot along the way. This one seems to have done superbly well for himself. Inspired by this 90s Inquisitor/Custodes art.

Finished the ork I got at the Armageddon reveal at Adepticon. Bad Moon colors, but what's with his spooky eyes? Probably staring at the warp for too long... #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #miniaturepainting

Allarus-Aquilon Hybrid pattern armor. Quite the kitbash, to make only the most chonky Custodes. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #New40k #Custodes

A special thanks to Games Workshop for sending me a review copy of the Custodes Battle Group set. These are great kits that I am adding to my Narrative Play 40k army. #adWIP #WarhammerCommunity #HorusHeresy

Behold the finished lord, again. I do think the blue/black looks a bit cartoonish but it’s how comics did it for a long time, Spider-Man 2099 vibes. May be picking up Huron today so I might be working some fun stuff this weekend #warhammercommunity #miniaturepainting

Made a test Shadowkeepers Custodes. Recorded the recipes for the journey ahead. Major improvement over my 2024 versions. What do you think? #paintingwarhammer #WarhammerCommunity

Was the "Community Survey" ever helpful to GW? Was it used to tangible results? Or was it a marketing ploy to roll out Sisters of Battle?

Low-resolution image of the "Big Community Survey" that Games Workshop supported from 2017 through 2019. The graphic includes the subheader "Tell us what you think" and five cartoon drawings of individuals enjoying aspects of the Warhammer hobby.

I cant wait for the Star Trek Magic the Gathering set to have a bonus sheet of screen grabs from the TV show in 480p, filmed on VHS, no retouching, and reprints of $70 commander staples. Neelix cooking as Chrome Mox. Quark playing Tongo as Rhystic Study. Isn't Magic great...?

Hey #portfolioday! I'm Vincenzo, freelance artist since 2016. I love monsters and creating epic badass scenes. As a cinema lover, I always try to give a cinematic aspect to my works. My happiness lies in bringing other people's ideas to life! For questions ask in the comments or via DM!🤟
