Happy new year!

I was recently approached by a client to create an old world/warhammer fantasy painting for them. The Saurus character was their own creation and backstory, blessed by Huanchi and Chotec and has been recovering lost relics throughout Lustria and from chaos warbands. They are accompanied by a giant armoured ancient salamander.

Both characters had references from Total war Warhammer combined with old world lizardmen and the updated Seraphon range from AoS.

It was a good challenge to bring it altogether, hope you like it!

And while he’s underwater, he’ll test out his tattered wings. Not like anyone is around to see...

She’s writing a piece on Lustrian Lizardmen. For some reason, the she-rat has a wealth of knowledge on them...

Reviving some old OCs that I made when I was in middle school. These guys come from the same universe as Sieg and Hilda, but about 700 hundred years in the past.

Allen Lockheart - the cursed prince of the the dragon people, he became good at sensing his surroundings because the curse made him blind and lose his memory. His older sister Ava is the queen of his kingdom who ascended to the throne and waged a war to find him.

Snow Lumina Lustria - the 1/4 vampire crown princess of the kingdom of magic, she doesn't like warm bright places very much due to her heritage and affinity for ice magic. She's her grandfather's favorite grandchild, and has an older brother, Albedo, and a younger brother, Albus.

Selenia Noctus Samudra - half mermaid, half demon, sometimes she struggles with her identity and trying to live as a human. She is currently on a journey with her older half brother Shane to prevent their father from destroying the world. Having been abandoned by her mother due to the circumstances of her conception, she was adopted by Shane's mother.

Shane Noctus -1/2 demon, he is trying to overthrow his evil father who has been trying to gain influence across the world to destroy it. He and his mother have an underground network of magicians that they use to protect the world.

Perla del Mar - the only fully human person on this team, she is the heiress to her father's trading company, and also helps run an orphanage in a seaside town. She is the type of character that if this world were a game, she would be the cool NPC that you can recruit in the post game. She was once a seafarer who traveled with pirates.

Adventurers meet agents of the Amazon Sisterhood: "The Koka-Kalim are religious zealots, fanatically dedicated worshippers of the Goddess Rigg." The Amazons of Southern Lustria once lived at peace with the Slann, who taught them much about High Age magic and technology that they still use today. (John Blanche cover for The Second Citadel Compendium, 1984, featuring Richard Halliwell's Warhammer scenario "Rigg's Shrine," based on Citadel's C30 Amazon miniature range including the Koka-Kalim figure with High Age pistol) The Goddess Rigg, "the leading figure in the Amazon Pantheon," presumably was named for actress Diana Rigg.

CAMPAÑA LUSTRIA - Warhammer Reforged

O&G vs enanos

Oh, neat. According to the WHFB RPG Lustria book that came out last year, a rogue Herald of Nurgle (Uthl'kritchnaak) was the reason for Clan Pestilence's existence.

"The Skaven are not diligent recorders of their own history, and secretive regarding what they do know. Scattered and inconsistent tales shared between the Plague Lords of Clan Pestilens suggest that when the final remaining ratmen lurched back into the caverns to regroup, they instead encountered a horror in the depths beneath Quetza. Inside a previously undiscovered, filth-ridden throne chamber rested a corpulent Daemon marked with the same weeping sores, foul stench, and bulbous lesions that mutilated their own bodies. It is said that the leader of these ratmen, desperate to save their vile hides, promised what remained of his clan to the Daemon and its master, who they proclaimed as the Horned One, and embraced the plagues that had so thoroughly decimated him and his kinsmen. In that day, those Skaven truly became Clan Pestilens, bringers of plague, disease, and filth. From that moment, Clan Pestilens gained strength, in number and in power. Under supervision of their daemonic master and in exchange for secret knowledge of illness and disease, they redirected strands of the Geomantic Web below ground and into the Daemon’s chamber, providing it with direct access to the energies of the Old Ones. When next they emerged into the jungle, the plague-bearing Skaven wreaked havoc among the Lizardmen of Lustria, in a scourge of pestilence that swept the continent. For centuries, the plagues seemed never to end, for just as one burned through the populace and died out, a new, more terrifying infestation emerged, and the process started all over. All the while, the Skaven of Clan Pestilens continued their unholy experiments, expanding their network of warrens beneath the continent of Lustria and emerging above ground only to release afflictions newly engineered from their Cauldrons of a Thousand Poxes."

@warhammer-fantasy-muses has crossed paths with the Ghoulish Tyrant.

The lands of Lustria were not completely unknown to her. She's come through here often to temporarily use the cover of the jungles as her veil at night. But of course, these jungles came with their challenges. Insects, terrain, reptiles... ESPECIALLY reptiles.

While she felt somewhat curious of the lizardmen, though seeing their savagery and the mounts they had for company, well, kept her away. Many Carnosaurs and the like didn't take kindly to her presence of undeath.

So here she was again, traversing the lush rainforest the lizardmen called their home, stopping for a quick drink of water only because her long travels left her parched. It wasn't a regular need, as she no longer need to drink or eat to survive anymore, but the sensation was soothing.

Lord Skrolk as he appears in WHRP: LUSTRIA.

[farsight-the-char]

Wait, fuck me.

The Dragon Age Qunari are Dragon Age's Lizardmen/Seraphon equivalent.

The "Fourth Order Race" (similar to how the world that was had Human/Elf/Dwarve/Lizardmen), from a Jungle/Rainforest (Lustria and Par Vollen), religious, outside the main continent, more stable culturally compared to the rest...

Would be interesting to compare the Lizardmen from Warhammer Fantasy, how they were written at the time of DA's development, and Qunari (especially early designs).

𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐑𝐘: 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐎𝐀𝐃𝐒

Toad Dragons, also called Mire Monsters, Mirelurks and Dragons of Nurgle, are creatures that live on Malleus, residing in the uttermost North in the Cold Mires of the Chaos Wastes. Though their greenish hides and disgusting behavior might suggest so, these are not daemons of Nurgle; they are mortal animals of the world, though whether they are natural or not is another story.

Their origins are a mystery and the individuals of the world interested in such things raise their brows at the moniker of "dragon", given to them by the far less studious Northmen. Instead of those proud, skyborne beasts, the Toad Dragon has more in common with the landbound lumbering beasts of Lustria, in particular the Dread Saurian. Some theorize that in the earliest days of the world, when Chaos first invaded Lustria and the joint forces of Nurgle and Tzeentch fell upon Chaqua, these beasts were the product of the Plaguelord's foul contagions and the Waychanger's warping magic working in terrible tandem upon the war-beasts of Lizardmen. When the city at last fell, Plaguebearers hoarded the blighted beasts into the portals whence the daemons first came and it was from these monsters that the first Toad Dragons were created.

Others say such foul beasts are not from Malleus at all. The Plaguelord collects not just the flora of other worlds for his garden, but on occasion their fauna too. The Toad Dragon is one such collected animal, though it has adapted so much to it's daemonic abode as to be indistinguishable from the proper daemons. Though massive and dangerous to mortals and even greater daemons, compared to the scale of Nurgle's garden, the Toad Dragon is only a mere toad and serves much the same function, eating the many flies and smaller lifeforms within the flora. They offer balance and order to the chaos of Nurgle's realm, as mortal toads do in the mortal world.

In both theories, the evidence given for their lack of proper origin from Nurgle is their temperament. Unlike the Plaguefather's daemons, Toad Dragons are notably foul tempered and destructive.

Deposited as tadpoles in the muck of a swamp, these beasts never stop growing once they hatch. Other lifeforms live within them, apparently unaffected by it's caustic breath and stomach acids. It is believed, much like gut bacteria, that these Toad Worms have a symbiotic relationship with it's host and may even be the reason behind it's caustic spit in the first place. Should a Toad Dragon die, Toad Worms will exit the body through the mouth, nose, and even the eyes. It is believed that these worms go on to be Plague Toads, a much maligned daemon of Nurgle; Plaguetoads are known to exist in a sort-of harmony with the Toad Dragon, so long as it defers to the beasts dominance of course.

Toad Dragons have tusks bearing, petal-like maws. Males, the more common of the species, are larger and use these tusks to battle for dominance and for the attention of the female. Females are rarer and larger; her territory will overlap with several males and she will mate with the one who wins out over his competitors. There is no certain way to tell Toad Dragon sexes apart; one can only be certain once the Dragon as laid it's egg-cluster, in which it will be revealed as female. Bubebolos, the Nurgle-marked Toad Dragon of Tamurkhan the Maggot Lord, was commonly recorded as male, but those who know well the anatomical trends between the sexes posit that the Greatest of All Toad Dragons was very likely a female.

Toad Dragons are not known to die of age and are suspected, even, to be immortal. Bubebolos was not only large, but ancient-- this may suggest that the creatures are Biologically immortal. The Gods do not often pay much attention to simple beasts when sapient races are so much more interesting and practical to work with. However, Nurgle is known for his enduring love of these Putrid Mire Monsters and his champions consider being able to bind one to ones own will to be sure sign of the Plaguelord's feculent favor.

Along with being implicated in the creation of the Plague Toads, some suggest that the Jabberslythe was an attempt by Nurgle's minions to put more 'dragon' into the Plague Dragon by breeding wings onto the beast. Undeniably, the Jabber and the Toad Dragon share several traits to suggest this is true.

Huh so Warhammer the Old World doesn’t take place at the same time as WFB but 300ish years earlier during the Age of Three Emperors which is a good excuse for Empire vs Empire conflicts. 300ish years isn’t too big in terms of Warhammer so tech should be roughly the same (some steampunk stuff like Steam Tanks might not be around tho) but Lustria hadn’t been discovered yet (by humans) so that’s notable

I understand maybe not just doing “what if the end times ever happened?” but I think it’d be good if they made it so TOW wasn’t just pure “prequel” but some kind of separate timeline so that the future of it isn’t necessarily WFB or AOS to make things feel more like significant and get stuff like Steam Tanks in the Empire list. Maybe have it clear that the Great War Against Chaos that ends the Age of Three Emperors doesn’t end the way it canonically did

[heliinx]

Garden was a kind word for whatever Yeskiv was cultivating down here. Heliinx had heard rumors, scoffing at what her ally had been up to in her own time. Gardening, pah! What a man-thing past time! Of no interest to her....that is, until one of her more favored messengers went missing. Then another. All after being sent to spy.

I mean...better them than her, but her personal messengers were extensions of herself! To attack them was tantamount to disrespecting Heliinx herself! And so the she-rat had gone marching into this garden (attended by guards of course), to have words with the Kariian. Words she almost forgot upon seeing the absolute monsters being grown down here.

Poisons. Flesh-eating flora, more fit for Lustria than the chilly north. And Yeskiv attentively pruning something monstrosity or other.

" Would you mind telling-explaining to me why two of my personal-private messengers haven't been seen since I sent them to you-you?"
