“Allo Sur, and what would ye be liking to look at in our ‘umble workshop this fine day? We’ve got a wonderful Hell-Spitter that’s recently been rebuilt and washed out. It’s a mite good price too Sur.

We wuz the innovators of the Bats Sur. Oh… of course you be knowing that Sur. We’s gots Ramming-Thorn Bats… No Sur, they don’t have a long lifespan.

Now, if you would be please going in to talk to the Master Craftsman to be setting up the payments Sur…” “Is he gone yet? He is? *Whew* Bloody good thing he finally left. My mouth was starting to hurt from all that peasant-speak. Oh well, one more sale and I move up to junior planning.”

The Titan pictured is one of my wifes' Warlords painted up in the style of the Warlord Titan most often seen in WD and in the Codex Titanicus. It was painted with a combination of regular paint (GW, Partha, Polly S) and inks. The picture was scanned on a flat bed Lexmark scanner. (And it's bloody hard to scan these and have it look halfway decent.)

Me: Semi-pro painter who specializes in 6mm to 28mm minis (and some Titans) Definition of semi-pro: not quite as good as the big boys, but cheaper.
