Hi all,
I've been working on a new project recently – a story of intrigue, horror and deception in the depths of a feudal world deep in the Antona Australis sector.

I've finished the first few models, and thought I'd post 'em up here for any thoughts:


Knave of Hands: Childeric the Rubricist


Nine of Collars: 'Bobe' Vlajna


Two of Beasts: Thorna Tempest


Five of Cups: Mercurial


Two of Hands: Ferlinghetti the Underscribe


Seven of Suns: Cyprian Northgrass


Extended background, more pics and notes on painting etc. on Death of a Rubricist, for those interested; but here's a group shot so far. I'd love to hear what you think.

Beautiful work, you have a very classic sort of style. What other characters are in the works?

I dig these, you developed a really organic palette. Cyprian's one baby hand is deeply disturbing

Cheers guys! It's been a lot of fun to play around with just painting models I like, rather than worrying about how they'll be used.

There are a few cryptic hints built into the painting of the figures above; but soon we'll discover what role the Mechanicus has on Cepheus...


...some of the outsiders that have been drawn in to the city...

Palas se Dhangar, offworld abhuman; Thorna Tempest, Colour bearer of the 2014th Regiment of Foot; Vanya de la Oawadh, Vidame of Yndbürch; Ombudsman Oswalk Aryas, Thief-finder

...and of course, the secrets of the Sun King himself.


Following on from Sergeant Tempest's background yesterday, the blog's got some info up about Underscribe Ferlinghetti today.

Really great stuff, I love your style. Skin and faces have come out really well.

Also, I like your style. Beautiful models with their own unique character.
