Sometimes I make 3D pinups :-) It's hard to find viewers, so I'll try here; meet Nekane, Tiefling Barbarian.

Despite her looks, it's not my take on *that* Tiefling :-P If anything, I was inspired by Chaos Comics' Purgatori, or even more exact, the fact I had a new female shape and cool red skin ;-)

Trench Pilgrims - Cortege of the Crimson Threnody - Introduction YouTube video by John van den Bos

If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten. So I made a video; mixing storytelling, filming and SFX, resulting in this video about my #TrenchPilgrims for #TrenchCrusade ๐Ÿ™‚ Quite happy with the end result ๐Ÿ˜ƒ If you like it; do as they say; please like, share and subscribe ๐Ÿ˜‰

More kitbashed Battle Brothers! Heavy Bolter, and two Chainswords. Quite happy with how they turned out - luckily as per usual ๐Ÿ˜‰ Especially happy with the Heavy Bolter Brother, as I was afraid I wouldnโ€™t find a body thatโ€™d work, but this worked out just fine ๐Ÿ˜Ž #warhammer40k #blacktemplar #kitbashing

Next round of #blacktemplar kitbashes; Bladeguard Ancient with the Household standard, and the Apothecary attached to these Black Templars. Former based on a #Kromlech bit, the latter is a former Sanguinary Priest. Quite happy with how they turned out! #wip #warhammer #40k #kitbashing

Chose the helmet for my #blacktemplars Marshall ๐Ÿ˜Ž Itโ€™s a conversion bit from #kromlech Imperial Crusaders Helmet heads. Rather happy with the outcome! #wip #kitbashing

Though #40k #BlackTemplars have my attention as a new shiny thing, I'm still doing #TrenchCrusade things, too. Here's a little overview for the #NewAntioch warband I'm working on right now. Quite like the combo of medieval and dieselpunk vibes! #WIP #kitbashing

Further work on my #BlackTemplar Marshall for #40k. Happy with the progress! Didnโ€™t make too sweeping changes to the Indomitus Captain; just changed details to make him more Templar-y. He still needs a head and Iโ€™ve got options, but waiting for a few 3d printed parts before my final decision on it ๐Ÿ™‚

Hereโ€™s my first #BlackTemplar for #40k; Sword Brother Sieger. I know itโ€™s kinda ironic he doesnโ€™t have a sword ;-)

Used a Cities of Sigmar icon instead of one from the box, because I wanted to give every Brother a icon, and I didnโ€™t want to use the Castellan one. Fits the BT style just fine IMO :-)

Ah, now I see! Reminded me of that old shield with the hand nailed on it :-)

Is that an old skool Orc shield I spy? Very nice kitbash!

Highly recommend it. Having a blast with playing my droid :-)

Thanks! Happy to inspire :-)

Depending on what I'm working on I don't bother with unification, but, given these guys are supposed to be pretty professional soldiers... It felt natural :-)

Work in progress! New Antioch Yeomen for my warband the 22nd Barghest Irregulars.

Mix of kits here; various bodies and arms, weaponry... The through theme are the heads and their backpacks, to tie them together. These are from the Wargames Atlantic Bulldogs ๐Ÿ™‚

Inspired by the flexible attitude for models #TrenchCrusade has, I'll have a go at some #40K Space Marines. Not for the rules; mostly just what inspires me ๐Ÿ™‚

I'll use some of the stuff I've got for Black Templars;
- Marshal (based on this Stormcast)
- Chaplain/Judiciar
- 'Banner Bearer'
- Castellan

The latest, though probably not last depiction of my Goliath Barbarian - by now easily my longest-running #D&D character. Depicted with his newest trophy; the head of a Green Hag. Render made in #DAZStudio and tweaked in #Photoshop.

The Crimson Threnody is blessed with the presence of four Stigmatic Nuns, who practice an occult offshoot of the Samaritan faith.

I've finished my Stigmatic Nuns for #trenchcrusade. Nice and bloody, I tried to pay homage to @mikefranchina.bsky.social's original concept art. Happy with the results!

Just a more or less random row of the more recent character portraits I've made for myself using #DAZStudio. Nice to see my progression from my earliest work ๐Ÿ™‚

Some Pilgrims of the Cortege of the Crimson Threnody. Some soldiers liken them to Redcaps, and rumours have spread that they use Heretic blood to dye their cloth.

Today, I made my lightbox and shot these pics of my #trenchpilgrims for #trenchcrusade. Rather happy with how it all turned out!

Yeah, I've realised that ๐Ÿ˜… I wanted to go beyond the quality of the little snapshots I made with my phone, though, and I feel I got there ๐Ÿ™‚

Consider this a 'sneak preview' - just as I tried to level up my painting, I tried to level up my photos ๐Ÿ™‚

The lightbox was bodged together, but seeing the result, I'll remake it in a more permanent fashion, and make more photos. Then I can show off my #TrenchPilgrims for #TrenchCrusade even more ๐Ÿ˜Ž

My #trenchpilgrims for @trenchcrusade.bsky.social underway for a coat of varnish before their oil wash. I donโ€™t think this paintjob will win any prizes, but itโ€™ll be mine and it's good enough for me ๐Ÿ™‚
