The work

Client commissions, club terrain and the occasional thing I painted purely because it looked like a challenge. Tap any photo for a closer look.

Astra Militarum

Custom Cadian Shock Troopers

A client's new Guard army in a custom scheme. Four angles of the same trooper, because a squad should look right from every side of the table.

Characters and centrepieces

The ones that get picked up

Characters carry an army. These are the models that earn the extra hours.

Big kit, bold schemes

Large models are where a scheme either sings or falls apart. This one sang.

Something different

Briefs that made me think

Not every commission is a squad of infantry, and those are often the best ones.
