Throwback to this day in 2015 at a Throne of Skulls event I was running for Warhammer World.
This is a ACTUAL GRAV PLATFORM, created by an incredible hobbyist called John Beech (not sure if he’s on Twitter).
All done with magnets but utterly incredible.

Incredibly sad to hear of the passing of Bryan Ansell, who founded Citadel Miniatures back in 1978.
It’s fair to say the miniatures wargaming hobby likely would not exist in the way it does now without him. Rest in Peace, sir; we all owe you a lot.

In Warhammer 40,000 Crusade, there’s an Agenda for a Space Marine Apothecary to recover Gene-seed from a badly injured marine. It requires a marker to represent a wounded marine so I painted this!
