With the bulls shattered and the Ironblaster brought low by an Astromancer, the shugengan rides down the butcher, and the siege is broken! Cathayan victory.

A sky lantern-eye view of the final clash on a Warhammer battlefield - Cathayan shugengan vs Ogre butcher.

Frederic Walker@fwalkerrpgdev· 15d

The Cathayan general seizes on the ironguts' hesitation, ordering her gunners to fire on the ogres, before charging into their flank, leaving only the butcher to flee to the safety his nearby regiment of bulls

Cathayan defensive fire has, for now, been enough to make the ironguts hesitate from charging the gate

Not all is so successful for the ogres' advance - a towering giant climbs the walls, belly-flopping over the crenelations, but is cut down by Jade Warriors where he lies upon their fallen comrades. His body is tipped back off the wall, as the defenders brace for the next wave.

A roar of gunpowder and a resounding clang as the Ironblaster's shot hurls the Cathayan cannon from the battlements!

Frederic Walker@fwalkerrpgdev· 15d

The rumble of the ogres' advance is joined by the roar of artillery from both sides, as an Ironblaster fires on the walls, and the Cathayan guns try in vain to slow the giant rushing headlong at the gate

Battle March Friday! I gotta play more often because they announced the new Battle March boxes while we were mid-game. Also, first victory for my Dark Elf army, Cendrach's Reavers! They've been having a rough time of it, but it feels like Battle March is a space where a Kharibdyss can really shine.

Harlon Steele, arms master, best known for saying "Watch it, sunshine." (thanks to the Iron Stare Legendary Name)

An Orlock arms master for Necromunda. He's wearing a leather vest and trousers, with a purple loincloth and brushed metal armour (one section of which with hazard stripes. He has goggles and a gas mask on his face, pale skin and dyed teal hair. He is armed with a shotgun in one hand, while the other points menacingly.

How about the Toy Rex I painted up for the demos I was running at UKGE of my new indie wargame, 28 MILLIMETERS B.C.? Tried to get it looking similar to Gwangi and other stop-motion dinosaurs (Also you can check out the game for free here: fredericwalker.itch.io/28mmbc)

John Blanche's art has always been a defining part of my favourite imagined worlds. I'd particularly like to highlight the art he did for Dreadfleet - lesser known compared to his 40k work , but for me, these endure as my favourite pieces from his monumental portfolio of work. RIP.

King Amanhotep from Dreadfleet, by John Blanche. An ancient mummy whose clothing almost seems to be dripping from his body.

Captain Jaego Roth, by John Blanche. A pirate camptaon in early modern clothing, bedecked the details like a ruff and necklace, multiple pistols, a serrated hook, and numerous feathers in his hat.

Aranessa Saltspite by John Blanche. A pirate with a red bandana, a fishy jawbone across her chin, and clothing spiked as if the hide of a puffer fish. She is armed with a trident.

28 MILLIMETERS BC is a skirmish wargame I'm developing in the spirit of mid-20th-century prehistoric B-movies! Gather your tribe of cavepeople, dinosaurs and more, and prepare to fight for survival! It just got this awesome new cover art from @stickyhunter.bsky.social! fredericwalker.itch.io/28mmbc

A trio of cavemen square up with a dated reconstruction of an allosaurus, while in the background a pterosaur soars over an erupting volcano, triceratops butt heats, and a brontosaurus browses treetops.

Beneath them is the title in a rocky font: 28 MILLIMETERS BC

Got a game of Arcworlde in with my neighbour for the first time, my wizards vs his ancient dead! It's such a bloody fun ruleset.

A wizard warband for Arcworlde. The wizards are accompanied by four ethereal familiars.

This story has a happy ending

An Empire Engineer for Warhammer the Old World. He holds an oversized rifle over his back, while writing with a quill on a long roll of paper attached to an over-engineered mechanical clipboard on his belt, presumably making notes on how his inventions have fared in the field. He is dressed in the red and black heraldry of Nuln.

This is the most yellow I've painted recently, love using it for the heroes in my Cathay army

A miniature Grand Cathay horseback battle standard bearer for Warhammer the Old World. He both rider and horse wear heavy scaled armour decorated with dragon motifs and yellow and red fabric trims. The Banner is a stylised representation of the face of the dragon Miao Ying.

Haven't posted for #portfolioday before because it can be a bit tricky to know what to post as a writer. So here! These are a few of the titles that I've contributed to as a writer and game developer:

So often am I teaching people to play various wargames that I end up accidentally dishing out tactical advice to my opponents, often people I've been playing with for 20 years at this point. Blessed to be able to teach new people to play, cursed to turn into this guy:

The Advisor from Total War Warhammer. He is an elderly blind man in dark robes bedecked with gold medallions. His hair is white, his skin pale and scarred. He is accompanied by a white raven.

If you see this, post an image you saved because it made you laugh.
