Loved by 40K Fans
★★★★★ 4.95 from 43 verified Etsy reviewsQuick shipping, packaged well. this is the third item I've purchased from this seller. I love his concept and fully support what he does. highly recommend if you're into 40k art.
Absolutely love this Farsight artwork and how John framed it. John does good work, and he also happens to be a real good guy. Thank you!
The art was exactly as shown and the frame it came in was sturdy with real wood and glass! The frame was carefully packaged and you could tell that the seller, John, cares for the pieces he sells. Will be ordering again as I add more factions to my collection!
11/10 would buy any and all deathwatch items/listings that come through!
My boyfriend loved it!! It arrived so quickly and was even better than I expected! Thank you so much!!!
Never a doubt, just another great 40k Upcycle.

About Ordo Upcyclum
Hi, I'm just a regular 40K nerd who enjoys GW wargames. I play Thousand Sons and Tzeentch Daemons in 40K, and Pathfinders and Chaos Cults in Kill Team.
I started this whole thing because I wanted some cool art for my gaming and hobby areas. I couldn’t find anything that really captured the look and feel of Warhammer, so I started making it myself using old rulebooks I had lying around.
People liked what they saw, and soon they were trading me their beat-up books for handmade pieces. That turned into a pile of old rulebooks and a growing stack of artwork.
Everything here is made by hand using upcycled pages from rulebooks that were on their way to the trash. This site is mostly a place to share my surplus. I give a lot away too as tournament prizes because Warhammer art is awesome and everyone should get to enjoy it.
Where the Books Come From
I don’t buy collector books unless someone’s already tossing them out. The last thing I want is to drive up the price of nostalgia for other fans. I’m not here to scalp or flip rare finds. I’m here to rescue books that would otherwise end up in a bin.
Most of my materials come from trades, local game scenes, and places like Facebook Marketplace. Occasionally, I’ll grab a bulk lot off eBay if the price is right, but I never buy new. This project is all about reuse, not contributing to waste or overpriced collecting.
Why I Do This
I’m not here to make a living. I just want to earn a little hobby money so I can buy more models than I’ll ever reasonably paint. It all goes straight into my ever-growing pile of shame... also known as the mound of opportunity.
I love experimenting with oil washes, pigments, and grimdark paint schemes. I’m always hunting down custom bits too, which means spending $15 on one set of shoulder pads for a single model. It’s not smart, but my models look awesome, so I have no regrets.
The Dungeon
This is the Dungeon—my little workshop where every piece is built by hand from rescued rulebooks, bits, and a lot of stubbornness. It’s cramped, it’s chaotic, and it’s where the magic happens.
My wife walks in, looks around, scratches her head, and asks if a Tyranid swarm just came through. I promise I know where everything is.
Just a normal guy who loves these games
I’m just a regular hobbyist who loves GW wargames—painting, gaming, and kitbashing. This whole project is fueled by that love for the setting and the community.
