Humanity Machine – Athens Assault
Artwork by Robert Chew. Used with permission. I opened my eyes for the first time. Honestly, there wasn’t much to see. I stood in a clear glass tube, naked and dripping with blood-red slime.

Warhammer 40K: Dark Eldar Army
Presenting my Warhammer 40K Dark Eldar army. While not being quite as filled with conversions as my other armies, I did enjoy painting this army quite a bit.
