I was thinking of running a campaign set in the Warhammer world. Has anyone done a conversion of the most popular iconic Warhammer monsters? Or, can anyone point me in the direction of one?
A question from a new explorer of the World Axis…
The Manual of the Planes makes it clear that both the Feywild and Shadowfell echoes are parallel dimensions, and the Far Realm and Plane of Dreams are not part of the physical universe, but it’s a little more vague about the two Fundamental Planes. It says the matter of the Mortal World was drawn from the Elemental Chaos and that the “mortal world drifts as a lonely speck of light and life in the eternal expanse of the astral mists.” It also states that Astral Dominions are separate realities within the Astral Sea.
So basically in 4e cosmology, you can’t just jump in a Spelljammer and fly to the Feywild, Shadowfell, Far Ream or Plane of Dreams, you need a portal, spell or ritual to “shift” to those planes, and if you are in the Astral Sea, you can enter a Dominion, but for the other two, it seems like portals, Astral Sojourn or Elemental Transference, or Plane Shift can get you to them faster, but could you theoretically jump in a ship and fly to the Astral Sea or the Elemental Chaos? Do they physically exist Above and Below the world or is that more metaphorical? The descriptions are not as clear with those two planes.
The fact that they are called planes suggests they are separate realities, but then they are also described as being the two parts that made up the universe before the mortal world was created. What do you think? How do you see their relationship to the mortal world?
This is just a very quick follow up image to one by u/apatt whose image inspired this one. You can find it here…

I imagine this being after a long battle filled with the sights and horrors of war, and the character’s expression saying, “Help me forget, at least for a little while.”
Lately when I have been working on making changes to images, GPT has this weird crosshatching effect, so that the image appears kind of busy and spotty, and when you zoom in, it is a very clear geometric pattern, even on the first draft. I know images can degrade if you keep tweaking them too often. I’m only fairly new to this, but it never used to do it a month or two ago when I first started playing around with it. This is an image I made based on another image I found on Pinterest. Zoom in for the crosshatch effect, particularly on her skin.
I was thinking about Shifters and trying to get a “look” for them straight in my head. I really like the early art from when Eberron was still being planned. I liked the first image a lot (I’m not sure of the original artist or source, so if anyone can help me out with that I’ll add a credit to them), but the upper lip was too animalistic for my tastes. So, I used ChatGPT and Google Gemini to help me reimagine it.
The question I have is, do you think the first image or second image in each set best reflects a Shifter in their “unshifted” state? I’m leaning toward the second, but what do you all think?
