Francesco Thau is a longtime friend of Warlord and a prolific painter of historical wargaming figures. He often sends us pictures of his excellent projects – they never fail to blow us away. Here we present some of his recent efforts as well as a few of his pieces from over the years. They provide inspiration to us hobbyists of the highest order!

Dan can often be found contemplating the mound of unpainted minis building up under his desk. He has a tendency to roll lots of ones. He also has a tendency to complain about rolling lots of ones.
