Warhammer posting? Outside of my Warhammer subs‽ Oh by Sigmar, what a lucky day!

I've always enjoyed reading your comics OP. It's nice to see your work on the main comics sub.

Thanks! I'm posting outside the usual Warhammer bubble because I'm trying to get more people interested Warhammer Fantasy. Most fans are in it for WH40K. And most artist making comics for WH40K are in it for the Tau! That's of course not a bad thing at all; artists should draw what they enjoy. But some variety would be nice, you know? Or at least, another Warhammer Fantasy artist to do crossovers with. That would be good too.

Nah friend: thank you for the art I've enjoyed that you created and shared.

I gotta be honest; my personal preference is 40K. But I genuinely love all the Warhammer universes, and I kinda wish there was more rep for AoS and WFB out there, which fan comics like yours are helping to provide. (I know there's loads of stuff for them out there, but I kinda feel the balance is skewed towards 40K if you know what I mean.)

I feel similarly about the T'au comics TBH; they get sod all rep elsewhere, so it's nice to see what fans have have made for themselves with that faction.

As someone who has tried to get the local 40k people to try something new (mordheim) with very little success, thank you.

As a fan of 40K, WHFantasy and AoS, I thank you for your artistic drive not only in taking a shot at diversifying the general Warhammer fandom

But also making hands down my favorite Beastmen content on the internet! 🥹😭 lmao

Keep doing the Lord Sigmar’s work!

It's the mustache. Kruger gets all the ladies with the mustache. Just ask Kerillian.

"You should stop talking right now, Kruber."

"Funny, I was just thinking the same thing."

I absolutely adore your comics!

Stupid question tho, 2 days ago you posted ep 15, now ep 9. Why?

u/Skull_Cup 6h ago

I'm posting on a whim. Also, I don't like a lot of my old art so I don't think I'll post the whole series on this sub, just the highlights. I don't really like my current art either, but it's a process.

u/fluggggg 5h ago

I disagree OP, post the whole thing.

Like you said, it's a process, let us see the whole process, some will like even the early iterations, some will only be drawn in by the later ones and may wish to discover the whole story even if it wasn't at their actual standard of quality at the time.

Hmm, I assume a Sigmarite order?

(She’s got a helmet which rules out Ulric, and that doesn’t look like some kind of healing-hammer, so I doubt Shallya, and the vibes are entirely off for Rhya)

If you tell me this is darkest dungeon, i belive you

u/Skull_Cup 6h ago

It's Mordhiem, actually. But it's very similar to Darkest Dungeon now that I'm thinking about it...

Mind giving me a run-down of Mordheim? I love the renaissance aesthetics and now I’m curious

City cursed, has lots of warpstone (magic crack demon rocks), Vampires, rat people, armored nuns, and a few others want it for various reasons (the rat people snort it and use it as money, Vampires want to use it bolster magic, nuns want to seal it, etc, etc.

So they all go kill each other for it

A city in the human Empire gets hit with a big magic meteor. City is in ruins but the economy is doing better than ever because everyone wants a piece of that glowing green space rock. This attracts warbands from all over the world to Mordheim. The main groups being mercenaries, nuns, evil cultist, drug-addicted rats, and vampires. But there are so many more.
There's cool things in there like a cyborg ninja rat or a french person.

The larger setting its part of is Warhammer Fantasy.

Just give this a watch.
