The merry month of June

As in previous months, the June painting theme was “veterans,” or expanded upon, “battle damange, weathering, or maybe an ork that found a new shiny on the battlefield.”

I initially had a couple of ideas for this - some well worn terrain, or perhaps my “C-Scale” extra lorge Timberwolf/Mad Cat Battletech miniature. After all, I already had some terrain with battle damange on it, primed and ready to go.

Ultimately I decided on something a little more involved. Something a little more… Gasland-y.

The dictionary defines decay as…

The April painting theme being “Bloom and Decay,” or bloom or decay, or bloom and decay and there and back again, I opted to incorporate both decay and bloom in this Blood Bowl Treeman - both the slow decay of a dying tree, the blooming of new flowers on the base, and the cycle of death and regrowth through the changing of the leaves. (That’s three “boths” but stick with me here.)
