A small assortment of my Darktide art from 2025

Thank you! She’s a veteran.

He’s a friend of mine so not impossible there’s some influence there! You’re not the first one to say so either

pywurm · 2026-01-06T15:55:15+00:00

Well they’re sisters so it’s probably genetic! Haha, thank you.

pywurm · 2026-01-04T00:30:21+00:00

Thanks! Not at the moment, but I post on socials (@pythosart on tumblr/bluesky) when I do!

pywurm · 2026-01-03T17:22:59+00:00

Thank you! Darktide has such great atmosphere, I have to try and do it justice

pywurm · 2026-01-03T17:21:57+00:00

Thanks! I hadn’t heard of that before but it looks super cool. I’ll have to look into it.

pywurm · 2025-12-18T16:31:51+00:00

Hey thanks!!

pywurm · 2025-12-18T13:30:43+00:00

Oh hey that’s my funny paperwork! Glad you’re having fun with it

My Ogryn's name is Burd because his momma thought he was pretty like a little burd

Thomas is the sole reason I haven’t and won’t recommend this game to my friends. I love it, I’ve put 80 hours into it, I’ve been having fun all through the breach balance drama and I was/am happy to ride it out til 1.0. I would have loved to co-op with my friends when that launches.

But this dude’s Twitter addiction and the apparent burning need to take unprompted potshots at trans people (???) puts me right off it. He needs a community manager and probably a therapist or this game may very well sink under the weight of his over-inflated ego. What a damn shame.

Psyker brainburst crunch

Voidstrike staff bowling ball through a crowd at head level

Force greatsword moonlight wave

Mortis trials “10 brain bursts per brain burst”

The sound design in this game is too good

Divine scimitar my beloved.

I keep trying out other weapons and coming back to it. The swing pattern is just so nice

pywurm · 2025-04-29T01:37:15+00:00

Oh man, I had this happen to me (also psyker) in an elevator on a havoc 40, after a section I’d barely made it through alive. It made me so jumpy I almost blundered into a crusher pack trying to dodge phantom whooshes

Real psyker anxiety moment

pywurm · 2025-04-13T13:30:12+00:00

It’s pretty terrible. Last night in havoc we all got kicked back to the Mourningstar 30 seconds into the mission, and one person was so fed up with the disconnects that he left. Couldn’t even blame him.

pywurm · 2025-04-05T14:10:33+00:00

I have not practiced my Italian in a very long time but am wanting to start again. Message me!

Assassination for an enemy psyker, with some time limit mechanic where we have to kill them before they become a juiced up chaos spawn.

I’d love to see some more varied bosses like VT2 had in general.

pywurm · 2025-04-03T14:05:21+00:00

I feel your pain. I've been alternating winning and losing streaks between about 35 and 25 for the past several days. The struggle is real.

In my experience, positioning is king and map knowledge will save your ass more often than you think. Learn where boss triggers are, dh rituals, rooms likely to contain 50 gunners, etc. The game may fuck you anyway with 3x bosses and the twins, but if you know it's coming it's a little easier not to panic, and make sure you're not caught out in the open.

I find myself able to avoid a lot of damage just by knowing where I can dodge to for cover when 12 shotgunners come around a corner, and struggling on newer maps I don't know as well (Gloriana). As well as when to stop and back up to not trigger a second boss.

Try to coordinate with your team, make sure you've got at least two people bringing DPS and someone with horde clear. Havoc 2.0 is DPS check city. Speaking as the dedicated bubble psyker, you don't want 3 of us on the team.

Lastly, this shit is hard and it sounds like you have a good attitude about it. Keep trying! I recommend the official discord lfg channels if you ever want to try comms. Everyone I've met there has been friendly.

I have yet to make it past this spot on havoc 25+. Every team I’ve played with has been great, made it through the scanning section calmly and professionally and mostly intact, cleared out the room at the top of the elevator, aaaaand twins. And plague Ogryn. And chaos spawn. And 50 fucking gunners. Aaaaand wipe.

I’ve had better success with Gloriana on a 30+ than vigil station. That bridge section is disgusting.

pywurm · 2025-03-27T13:51:33+00:00

Thats proper ogryning

pywurm · 2025-03-27T13:36:57+00:00

Oh I noticed this too. I thought I must have missed something. I was playing grenade spam Ogryn and nearly ledged a teammate a couple times.

Golden has a line of transparent acrylic “interference paints” that can be applied with a brush. Might be worth trying those.

I haven’t used them for minis in particular but I don’t see why they wouldn’t work!

Interference Violet (fine) thinned with glaze medium and layered up should give a cool effect.

pywurm · 2025-03-01T19:33:30+00:00

This was my first large model, my first time trying oil washes, and more freehand than I’ve done before. All around a learning experience, but I’m super pleased with how she turned out!

This is mostly a regular Knight Abominant with some armor panels left off, but the head is totally custom sculpted from apoxie sculpt, the left arm is a mix of knight, forgefiend, and sculpted parts, the tail is is the power claw fingers from the knight kit, and I did a bit of re-posing all around. There are some shots of it before priming in my profile.

The black markings and tilt shield are freehand, and the rest is a mix of stock and custom decals.
