Spooky Season’s creeping over the hill, getting closer every darkening day, so lets start off with this stunning lord of the night. Regal, menacing, a little melancholy, the very ideal of Vampiric majesty.
Who ya gonna call? HELLBLASTERS!

Still spooky, though maybe just a tad less serious. A little. Won’t stop bustin’ making us feel good.
I have been visualizing this tyranid for some days, here you have the result my nightmares.
The concept is about absorbing psychic energy.
I hope you like it.#PaintingWarhammer #warhammer40000 #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer #WarhammerArt pic.twitter.com/o2Pwa04bR6— Juan Sanz Elminiaturista (@theminiaturista) August 18, 2023
Know what else is spooky? Bugs. Space bugs at that. This Psychophage by theminiaturisa is mesmerizingly gross in its gorgeous use of UV paint and high contrast to really sell a translucent, bioluminescent take one of the most gnarly concepts the Tyranids have been gifted with in a long while.

Finishing off with another bug, kinda. Not really. But a very cool take on a Van Saar hover car. Some classic use of plasti-card is all it takes to turn the humble Ridgerunner into a futuristic street racer.
