Åskland Longhouse A colourful and rather shoddily crafted acrylic painting of an Åskland longhouse for the Ninth Age fantasy world. Overt references to Dark Gods worship was kept out of this one, save for a skull trophy on top as a hint that all is not a summer idyll. The phallic plank jutting...

Sorcerer-Prophet Balhutti-Zhurekar the Decrepit: Art by Hunter Chaos Dwarf Songs In their mystic rituals, in monotone labour and in the rearing of their children the Chaos Dwarfs of Zharr Naggrund, and all its domains, sing. Be they doomladen dirges, rattling recitations of religious script or...

Mordrek's Night Clubbers The Story of the Night Clubbers The goat-legged Chaos Dwarf champion Mordrek Wightsbane had long been known for his demented antics. Nomads in the Chaos Wastes still speak of how he fifty years ago knocked the twain-headed Ogre Manrok unconscious, only to bind him fast...

Original thread start from here. First posts are copy-paste, the rest will be running updates. Welcome! This is the log where I'll post anything which I've converted and/or painted for others. Most of my hobby work is not done for my own armies, but rather for my brother's and our friends'...

Taken from this lecture by Jennifer Mace (part 2 of a 2-part series on ancient Greek art): Here is a chart with human proportions, ranging from the normal through the idealistic to the heroic. Sharing here in case it might help anyone out there drawing or converting, given that heroic...

Lothern Infiltrator 00L Flaming light flickered between colonnaded shadows. The ruddy light was cast not only by torches and braziers, for it emanated also from molten metal, ensorcelled lava and far worse substances harvested from an otherworldly realm beyond the ken of mortals to...

"Seven rings for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone." Zirak Zagul Colonists Greetings, wanderer! Welcome, by blasts of horn and meaty fat sizzling in the fire, to the newly carved halls of Zirak Zagul, a budding hold of Khazâd settlers of Ironfist extraction. Warlike and quarrelsome, the...

Why are you here? Mortal, birthed in pain and blood. Plaything of capricious gods. Mortal, raised on hardship and toil. Worshipper and sacrificer. Mortal, doomed to strife and wasting death. Bloodstained priest and screaming victim. Know that all the world is an altar of death, ever yearning for...

The 1980s were characterized by a wild plethora of all manner of miniature releases, many of which were niche to boot, and which has later been mined for inspiration or reintroduction by studio people. A whole slew of fantasy Regiments of Renown and 40k figures (and background) such as...

Not relevant to vibrant Lustria, but to many other sites. Please spread the word: The reason old forums are dying is because of their lack of easy direct image upload. This is a great pity, because forums with their rational layout and archive mode are vastly superior to social media with...

While reading up on jokes across the world and from all over human history for 40k work, I stumbled upon a delightful surprise: Egyptian humour. Apparently the densely populated and hypersocial Nile valley in Egypt have sported a culture of wisecracks and jokesters for almost five millennia, at...

Oxymandias over on Chaos Dwarfs Online has laboured lovingly to craft a webzine to touch on some highlights in the world of short, angry and bearded slavers during the anno horribilis of 2020. Check out the first issue of Brazen Bulletin if you like, but watch out for big hats! :) The Brazen...
