Then I thought... why not melee? Like a sword against a man's head or something... that's quite a devastating impact? lol But yeah, I really want to participate on these more - but damn that university for giving me essays to write during the break! sj

Yes, a devastating impact can be sword on shield...as long as there is something obviously devastating about it

From now on im gonna have some trouble following the sketch groups (iv'e moved down to a school without easy acess to internet). So i hope you will forgive me if i post my sketches a week late or so. Anyways: Ul'grok understands a bit too late that a dwarf that has lost his weapon is still rather dangerous.

Dug into their fortifications and trenches, the Beddorians thought that the Imperial attack would break upon them. With numerous assaults failing and divisions taking unimaginable loses, the Imperial forces turned to atomics to break their enemy's line. It would prove to be a devestating impact upon the morale of the Beddorian armies

Thanks mate!

The craters come from NASA imagery - they have an absolute tonne of high-res royalty-free imagery on their website.

Cheers Forgefire - looks like us two are the only one's participating in the weekly sketch!

I have done another sketch for this week, but it's just a paint-over of one of my previous pics - My 40K Incoming pic with the Tau cruiser about to be KO'd.
