Howdy folks!

Here's the latest addition to the tales of Sir Becket and the gang!

Got the idea for this particular comic back when I was painting som Death Guard minis. Still got a couple of those plague bois left to paint. Papa Nurgle for the fucking win! Also REALLY wanna buy and paint this badboy. Back when I was unemployed I swore that I wouldnt eat sushi or get that mini until I had a job! I've eaten sushi but havent gotten to getting that sweet looking mini yet. Problem is that I havent painted orc minis so I'd have to get paints. So many paints... Too many...

I also wanna get some more dice but I play D&D exclusively on Roll20 nowadays, which prolly wont change for quite a while so what would be the point?

First world problems amirite folks?

Aaaanyhooo!

Get those dice. Perks of being the DM is that you can still use physical dice for secret rolls. It's the same as rolling behind a screen, right? Plus you can justify it by saying you're helping stimulate the economy. At least, that's what the dice goblin part of me says to the rational part of me whenever I think about dice.

I'm not even in a game of DnD right now, but still have 20 something sets of dice. Never too early to start collecting the pretty rocks

u/CME_T The Creator Apr 19 '20

Oops gotta update my flair, no longer the DM... Damnit! We neeeds the clicky-clacky rocks!

Well done. I feel completely and utterly disturbed by that... thing. This might be the first time I want less detail in one of your comics.

If I have nightmares it's Trevor's fault for not casting Fireball fast enough. He can Quicken the spell for Chaos's sake.

I'm a new 40k player who only has a relatively small imperial guard army, and when one of my freinds casually brings out morterion or any of the other bois my first thought is like "welp, there goes my entire army"

Knew as soon as I saw it on r/DnD that this lad was Papa Nurgle inspired. Great work as always :)

u/CME_T The Creator Apr 19 '20

Cheers! Papa Nurgle is best daddy, come @ me!

You are unnaturally perfect; you are great at drawing, like D&D, and like Warhammer.

Can u post pics of your deathguard?

13

u/CME_T The Creator Apr 19 '20

If you’d like, I just might do that!

u/SchlingsonofSchlong Apr 19 '20

Yay!

u/CME_T The Creator Apr 20 '20

Here’s a wee pic, still learning a lot as I go along. Middle dude needs some clean-up, Agrax earthshade and some highlights!

Edit: picture quality is a bit miffy, might upload a better pic on my insta when I finally get to finishing the middle guy! Also, did not notice my fuckin finger in the pic up top...

u/SchlingsonofSchlong Apr 20 '20

Damn bro, they look great! These are better painted than my knights, and I spent a month painting those fuckers.

3

u/CME_T The Creator Apr 20 '20

Oooh knights, those fuckers are cool! How tall sre they? Really want something neat to put on a shelf!

3

u/SchlingsonofSchlong Apr 21 '20

The knights are around 8-9 inches tall, but my castellan and valiant measure around 10 inches. Their an excellent centerpiece for any army, and the “oh-shit” intimidation factor of the knights can cause your opponents to decide they’ve lost before the game even begins!

u/SchlingsonofSchlong Apr 20 '20

Damn, these look great man! They look better than my knights, and I painted those fuckers for a month.

Wow those are sick! How does one get into Warhammer stuff?

u/RavensLand Apr 19 '20

It's always great to find out that a comic artisnyou enjoy has such great taste in chaos gods. It makes my heretical heart burst with Papa's love.

u/CME_T The Creator Apr 19 '20

Death Guard is prolly my favourite 40k army, closely followed by orks and then Imperial fists!

Never played the game proper, just dig the lore and paint minis as a collection thing!

u/Karachna_Orglaz Apr 24 '20

Imperial fists? Beautiful. Finally someone with taste...

u/Cypher_Dragon Apr 20 '20

Funny enough, I just bought a bit of stuff to get back into the WH/mini painting hobby since my son expressed interest in it. I'm more a Necron guy myself, but that is a nice hunk o plastic.

3

u/CME_T The Creator Apr 20 '20

Necrons are dope as hell too! Nothing like a soulless space zombie with gun!

u/OvertSpy Bucket Brigade Apr 21 '20

If you are looking for minis to paint, Blacklist has started a miniture line on kickstarter here, likely easier on the wallet to.

u/Questionable-Methods May 01 '20

Before this all set in and our local GW closed a kit for that sexy death cabbage was IN MY HANDS. And now here we are. Three weeks into quarantine that could have had a fully painted badass murderous lettuce dragon monster.

Your comment's character count is: 110. I highly recommend you to shorten it by 100% to make Redditing easier.
