This book is the second in an ongoing series of publications that presents the glorious miniatures artwork of artists from around the globe in full-color, quality photos, supported by descriptions from the arists themselves. "The Art of... Volume 2: Christof Keil" leans heavily into the aspect of miniatures art that Christof is most known for - kitbashing - or combining parts from a variety of incongrous kits to create completely new miniatures. In these pages, he describes the ways his inspirations, motivations, and techniques have evolved over the years. Christof Keil guides us through his early projects, including a detailed tutorial on building a modern version of a classic Necromunda miniature, before moving on to some larger endeavors such as his Black Phallanx Crusade collection for use in various Warhammer 40,000 settings. In addition, we get to see some of Christofs larger scale work sculpting and painting busts, as well as his tribute to a piece of grimdark artwork particularly famous in the miniatures wargaming community.
