Warhammer kindly sent Warhammer Quest: Darkwater my way for free, and so far I've painted Gelgus Pust (great name!) and 2 Cankerborn (you may have seen in yesterday's article 😉). Can't express how fun these minis are! #AdWIP #WarhammerQuest #WarhammerCommunity

A Cankerborn either side of Gelgus Pust. All very green, swampy, and rusty looking.

I picked up a model to paint that's been sitting on my shelf for years. Today was a day of 'it's not my fault, but it is my responsibility', so it seemed fitting to spend some time with Granny Weatherwax. ☺️ I finished her face and painted most of her hair this evening.

So I finally got round to finishing my Revenant Titan. It's not my best work as I haven't painted in so long and it was a pain to paint fully built, but I'm happy with the end result. Just the transfers or freehand icons to do now.
