These ABC Warriors from 2000 AD Magazine Influenced Warhammer

ABC Warriors is a comic strip that started in 1979, in 2000 AD Magazine. It’s still in print today.

Growing up I never knew much about 2000 AD and Heavy Metal Magazine, being maybe ten years too young to have made the most of the 80s. Nowadays, I see them as cultural artifacts that influenced everything of interest in SF art, comics, and cartoons from the period.

Here’s some stuff I stole from the ABC Warriors Wikipedia page. Any of it sound familiar?

“Deadlock is a follower of the Khaos religion, ...Deadlock's powers allow him to astrally project and reform his body if it is damaged or destroyed, and he holds the sword X-Caliber, a weapon that allows him to drain the souls of the living to use as psychic "nourishment". He is able to call demons and the undead to his aid. “

There’s even a Gothic Empire (that’s its name), X-Terminators, and an elite sniper assassin who even looks like a Vindicare Assassin:

They were all were painted to Exhibition Quality.

Paintedfigs is a miniature painting service. You can send us your figurines to paint, and we also have painted miniatures for sale. We paint mainly Games Workshop (Warhammer 40k, Warhammer Fantasy, Age of Sigmar, Necromunda, Space Hulk, Bloodbowl, and so on), Star Wars, Warmachine and Hordes, and pretty much every Kickstarter and board game under the sun.

And we do so at the lowest rates on Earth (we’ve checked).
