What sources do fellow GMs and Players use for artwork to use during sessions?

I like to show artwork to my players during our sessions as I think it really helps set the tone of the game. None of them are familiar with AOS and the lore apart from what we do in our sessions. I always try to show artwork of the enemies they face and they love it when a big encounter starts and I pop up some images on the big screen. They've all come over from DnD and the one thing they all comment on is how good the setting is and would like to see some more artwork to help them visualise things better in their minds. There's quite a bit available from Cubicle 7 and games workshop but I was just wondering if anyone uses or knows of any other sources. I would love to display more landscape and city artwork during the game and maybe create a rolling gallery to display during downtime and natural pauses in the game. I'm more than happy to support artists as well and not just source free stuff. I know AI can be used but I want to try and avoid it and use original material.

Best beginner father and son purchase UK?

Hi all!

My 5 year old has a little RC monster truck which he absolutely loves. The problem is, to say it's useless is an understatement. It can barely get over our sandstone patio. He loves to bring it with him on walks and tries to use it but it's obviously just not capable. We do a lot of walking together and I'd love to have something that's actually capable of being brought with us but I have no idea where to even start. I was hoping for some suggestions from the community.

It does not need to be child friendly to maintain or handle as I'll always be with him and look after it but it needs to be easy enough for him to control it. This is why I thought a crawler would be a much better option as you can have loads of fun at slower speeds. I don't mind buying something that's got some speed but I'd need to be able to limit it when he's using it in certain areas, we can always take it to an open field if he wants to use it at speed. I want something that he can grow into and use for years to come.

We walk mainly in woodlands and rocky trails and that's where we would be using it the most. Id like something that's capable enough that we don't need to keep picking it up but not something that's too big to carry for a couple of miles. Something that can fit in a large backpack would be perfect. Probably looking at 1/18 sort of size from what I've seen online but it's hard for me to tell as I haven't actually held one so I'm unsure of how easy they are to stuff into a backpack.

Scaling and looks isn't important to us, just something that performs well. He really likes the rock buggy style ones as they look more like the monster trucks that he has an obsession with at the moment.

Battery life is obviously important but I'm happy to buy spare batteries to take with us and change on the run. Our walks tend to last maybe an hour or so and for maybe 2 to 3 miles depending on how he's feeling. I don't expect to be able to have something that lasts that long hence why fitting it in a backpack is important but to be honest I have no idea what these rc's are capable of these days, I may be over or underestimating what I can get in my budget .

Would love something that's capable of some bad weather crawling that we can take on muddy paths as it rains a lot in South Wales where I live unfortunately 🤣 but this isn't absolutely needed.

My budget would be somewhere in the region of £250 but I'd be willing to pay more for something that ticks all the boxes for us and will last a long time, I don't want to be buying another one next year when he gets bored of this one.

I'm sorry for my complete lack of knowledge but I always like using Reddit communities to get real life first hand experience knowledge when I'm looking to purchase things 😀
