Two noble families entwined in a battle for reasons that many have forgotten. Most have lost friends or family in this thirty year war, and many more may still be lost. This picture was designed as a border for the pages of a scenario with the same name. It’s a bit of an awkward size, but I hope you like it. 0.5mm mech pencil. (Warpstone Issue 11)

Great format for a great picture.. I'm not too fond of the border though, I'd prefer the black to be not so "black"... but the drawings is elegant, precise...

Just how do you manage to keep track of all the minute details. Its as if you are drawing through a microscope.

No microscope. I'm just straining my eyes to the point of blindness!

If you see me adding more than one comment in succession, it's because this things keeps on hiding some comments for some strange reason!

I like it a lot. But what the f*** is that archer doing in the midst of the swordsmen? Have he lost his shortsword and got no dagger?. Good picture anyway, if i ever have a book published i would hire you to do a few pictures to it.

Good point about the archer! I guess I just used bit of that "artistic licence" we hear so much about!

Ooh, pencil works, I see so much COLOR in the woods my eyes ache. Love it! Did you pencil all those skulls? What's a Warpstone?

It's not an awkward, but more like a wall hanging. Very nicely done!

This is an EXCELLENT pic!
It reaches the level of the best Warhammer official artwork!
If I really had to make a critic, it would be about the frame... the repetition of these heads doesn't look as awesome as the rest of the pic does. maybe a celtic frame or something like that would work better.
But as far as the pic itself goes, sorry if I repeat myself: it's EXCELLENT!!
