They cast the reliquary into the Hollow Deep, believing it would save them. It didn’t. It changed them...

Spotted something really cool in development — Tides of Ruin is an upcoming narrative skirmish game set in a drowned world of pirate warbands, cursed relics, and sea-bound horror.

It blends brutal close-quarters combat with campaign-driven storytelling, and even features ship-to-ship mechanics alongside land battles.

Definitely one to watch if you’re into grimdark fantasy, narrative wargames, or anything with barnacles and blood.

Tides of Ruin is a fast, brutal, and narrative-driven skirmish game where pirate warbands clash over lost relics, cursed seas, and the ruins of a drowned world

Been back on the Terrain Train again and managed to finish up some more of these walls - These are giving me a more church/gothic vibe and I fancied the ides of using them as a bit of a scenic base for my sisters of battle... but then I thought otherwise!

I tried a more reactive technique to get more of a weathered concrete look that had been exposed to the elements for a long time - this was achieved by building up some "sublayers" of paint and then redacting back with IPA 99% - a bit messy but a lot of fun and I love the effect it gave with the streaking and weathering.

Been working on some scenery in the background as our local gaming group has started playing a lot more Sci-Fi games and we didn't have much terrain to use.

Here are three armoured roadblocks/barricades made from MDF - Sometimes it can be tough to make MDF not look like MDF due to its odd sharp angles and lack of texture but to be honest I think these needed very little work - Finished with a coat of matt varnish and now they are ready to be added to the table!

What are you working on right now?

Been working a few heads for some sisters of battle recently. Planning to use these in a bit of a narrative campign of inquisitor (54mm but in 28mm scale).

Not done many heads in the past so was great fun to see how far I could push it. The face tattoo took me forever and almost blew my eyes out. So tiny! 🤣🤣

Super happy with the results and can't wait to get the rest of her finished so she can spread the emperors light!

Iv been kit bashing a few Maggotkin of Nurgle Blight Kings recently and ran out of shields as I wanted a unit of 5 guys all with sword and board. SO needed to use something from the Stomcast kit to make a shield. I think the pose works quite well as the open arms are a nice mix of "come and get some" and also potentially after a shield bash or something. I roughed up the shield with my hobby knife and pin drill to make it sufficiently Nurgly and then sculpted a basic strap from green stuff. I flopped the strap over the shield to make it interesting as I wanted it to look a bit like a cross between a strap and a te****le - Perfect! Now onto painting!

What would a caster be without something cool to cast - Been working on this Burning Head Endless Spell I picked up second hand and wanted to give it a paint job that was simple but effective. The army colour for my IronJaws if that strong orange so I felt like it made sense to not only do the fire orange (as that is kinda the colour fire is) but also to tie it into the army. I used the airbrush to load in some low lights with a dark purple to give it some more contrast in the flames. Just a bit of basing and we are ready for the table - Came out great I think! Very... heavy metal?! 🤟🤟

What are you guys working on?

Great model with some really nice details and a great opportunity to work on muscles highlights and skin tones.
