Are you familiar with these drawings? Who is the author?

They don't look fake to me, but I am not familiar with miniature concept art so I don't know how to tell.
Does anybody have some more?

Why are they so obsessed with skull trophy?

also curious why it's the humies' skulls as well.

it's the rats they want to exterminate, not them!

Because the GW sculptors prefer making human skulls...over and over again.

I picked up a dictionary and it says that Warhammer translates into MORE SKULLS.

Yeah the amount of human skulls on warhammer models is staggering.

I guess it's to give the models some savagery and character. I bet our beloved lizards love adorning themselves with skulls in order to frighten their enemies (whether it be human raiders or any other enemy).

They certainly do succeed in that, but it can get tiresome when almost every single model has them, and so the skulls lose their desired effect imo
