Paintings

This article is a Stub. You can help Vermintide 2 Wiki by Expanding It.

Paintings are pictures that can be placed in the frames that are in your Keep. They are pieces of art depicting elements of the Warhammer lore. Some, if not all paintings, come from previous works of Games Workshop and thus aren't original works.

You find new Paintings by collecting pieces of Ravaged Art. Those can be found at random spawn points in each mission. Picking up Ravaged Art only grants the art to you, not to the other players; however picking it up doesn't remove it from your teammates' game, meaning all four players can pick the same Ravaged Art from the same spot. You can find them at any Difficulty, even playing solo with bots.

The painting you choose for the center frame in your Keep will appear as one of the three below the host's center frame when in a party.

Name	Description	Obtention Method	Original
The Carnival of Speckren Vale	A jolly little scene, ain't it? Well, you can't take these things at face value. A painted wagon hides all kinds of horror. And there's more than one reason to dance around a flame. ~ Aldo Richter ~	Default painting	Source
Hunter of the Wastes	It's bloody murder up on the Kislev borderlands. A thunder of hooves, and a severed head soon after. You should ask Olesya - she's lived it. ~ Anonymous ~	Default painting	Source
The Beast of Bögenhafen	Looks like the privy decided to start fighting back. If nothing else, it's a reminder not to drink the water around Bögenhafen. ~ Anonymous ~	Default painting	Source
Bastion of Faith	Now this is a cheerier one. Sigmar's temple shining in the sun. The dawn always comes, if we make it though the night. ~ Catrinne of Aldenstein ~	Finding 3 Ravaged Art in Righteous Stand
The Three-Mawed Hound	I like a good, loyal hound. That creature has the look of being maybe one of those three at best. ~ Marius Holseher ~	Finding 30 Ravaged Art in Righteous Stand
In Search of Peace	Given who's standing front centre, I reckon Catrinne's having a bit of a laugh with the title. ~ Catrinne of Aldenstein ~	Finding 3 Ravaged Art in Convocation of Decay
Thynge of Appetite in Woman's Flesh	I keep hearing how beautiful these daemonettes are, but I don't see it. Must creep over you when they get close, so I'm happier with them a long way off. ~ Marius Holseher ~	Finding 30 Ravaged Art in Convocation of Decay
The Loneliest Vigil	I keep telling her that you were all there, but no. Victor Saltzpyre, alone against the world. Still, can't fault the likeness. ~ Catrinne of Aldenstein ~	Finding 3 Ravaged Art in Hunger in the Dark
Shrieking Herald of the Dark Prince	If that's the messenger, I can love without finding out what the message is. ~ Marius Holseher ~	Finding 30 Ravaged Art in Hunger in the Dark
Heresy in Chains	Artistic licence being taken again here. Or is it a metaphor for Ghûlmagak's influence over that Helmgart mess? Why she can't just paint things as they are, I don't know. ~ Catrinne of Aldenstein ~	Finding 3 Ravaged Art in Halescourge
Harvester of the Soulfyldes	All those blades, rushing towards you? Not for me, thank you. A problem for someone else while old Franz Lohner oversees the matter ~ Marius Holseher ~	Finding 30 Ravaged Art in Halescourge
Fallen Pride in the Temple of Winds	I asked Catrinne about this one. 'It'll be our turn next.' That's what she said. I'm starting to worry about her. ~ Catrinne of Aldenstein ~	Finding 3 Ravaged Art in Athel Yenlui	Source
Eternal Service	Necromancers ain't that different from nobles. Both want to keep you working long after your parts and pieces have all worn out. ~ Anonymous ~	Finding 30 Ravaged Art in Athel Yenlui
In the Lair of the Flesh-Shaper	Old Albrecht Durnest painted this one. Saw a lot of ridicule for it too because, as we all know, skaven don't exist, do they? ~ Albrecht Durnest ~	Finding 3 Ravaged Art in The Screaming Bell
Flameryder, Herald of the Great Sorcerer	We've quite enough problems around here without daemon-fire, thank you very much. I've a good mind to set this to a flame, now I think on it. ~ Marius Holseher ~	Finding 30 Ravaged Art in The Screaming Bell
Daemon's Crossing	You should have heard the tale Catrinne told me about this place. Something about tentacles. Seems you were lucky not to run into worse than ratmen and northlanders. ~ Catrinne of Aldenstein ~	Finding 3 Ravaged Art in Fort Brachsenbrücke
The Cowl of Changelynge Faces	There are tales of a daemon trickster who steals faces to hide his own. He can look like anyone. Might even be in this room right now. Hang on a minute... ~ Marius Holseher ~	Finding 30 Ravaged Art in Fort Brachsenbrücke
Empire of Decay	We've seen a few places like this, haven't we? I much prefer them in oils and canvas than in timber and bone. ~ Catrinne of Aldenstein ~	Finding 3 Ravaged Art in Into the Nest
Fateweaver Winged Prophet	So legend goes, this one's blind to the present, but sees the past and future clear as mint on mutton. Let's hope we never find him around here. ~ Marius Holseher ~	Finding 30 Ravaged Art in Into the Nest
The Beast of Helgram's Farm	I swear that thing gets larger every time I cast an eye on it. Still, where there's light, there's hope. ~ Catrinne of Aldenstein ~	Finding 3 Ravaged Art in Against the Grain
Plague's Messenger	Look at that the size of that bug. Larger than the flies buzzing around Bardin's secret stash, and those nearly have my eye out. ~ Marius Holseher ~	Finding 30 Ravaged Art in Against the Grain
The Price of Tolerance	Tolerance? What does this have to do with tolerance? I might just need to have a word with that girl. I think she might be getting cynical. ~ Catrinne of Aldenstein ~	Finding 3 Ravaged Art in Empire in Flames	Source
A Thyng That Slaughters Without Reason	I've heard of Marius. His family said he went on a long walk through his dream. Saw all kinds of ghastly things. Locked him up, and with good reason. ~ Marius Holseher ~	Finding 30 Ravaged Art in Empire in Flames
The Tree that Devours Dreams	I don't remember you mentioning anything like this in Helmgart. We might want to watch Catrinne, I'd hate for her to end up on a witch's Pyre. ~ Catrinne of Aldenstein ~	Finding 3 Ravaged Art in Festering Ground
Ku'gath, Seeping Apothecary	You remember that business beneath the hospice? Well, what you stopped looked too much like that for my beauty sleep. ~ Marius Holseher ~	Finding 30 Ravaged Art in Festering Ground
Study of a Northlander Camp (Number 3)	You know the thing I like best about this? That those murdering buggers are very small, or at least a very long way away. ~ Catrinne of Aldenstein ~	Find 3 Ravaged Art in The War Camp
The Blynde Scribe	I had a paymaster looked a bit like that. Well, not the candles - that's a bit much. The leer though? Identical. ~ Marius Holseher ~	Find 30 Ravaged Art in The War Camp
The Virulent Sea	I feel a shudder every time I look at this one. It's not the cold. It's not the horde of merciless northlanders making landfall. But those skies? They ain't natural. ~ Catrinne of Aldenstein ~	Find 3 Ravaged Art in The Skittergate
The Shadow of Rage Unbound	Never crossed paths with a bloodthirster. Never want to. If you've any sense, you'll pray one never crosses your path. ~ Marius Holseher ~	Find 30 Ravaged Art in The Skittergate
A Study in Virtuous Nobility	There's a little heart etched on the back! I really do need to have a word with that girl, don't I? This is why I never became a father. ~ Catrinne of Aldenstein ~	Find 150 Ravaged Art in any Mission
Old Comrades	On the right? Countess Gertrun of Middenheim. Don't know the other chap - moustachioed noblemen aren't exactly in short supply around here. ~ Anonymous ~	Find 260 Ravaged Art in any Mission
Tithebringer of the North	I don't much care for this painting. Has a whiff of corruption about it - still, that's what you get for daubing daemons. Something unpleasant that creeps into the paint. ~ Anonymous ~	Find 370 Ravaged Art in any Mission
Angel of Fire	Now this one reminds me of someone. I wonder who... ~ Anonymous ~	Find 540 Ravaged Art in any Mission

Events[ | ]

Name	Description	Obtention Method	Original
Rhargrak the Red	Nasty piece of work, so I hear. A despoiler of villages, a collector of skulls and a slayer of kin. Avoid. ~ Adriannus the Smith ~	Skulls for the Skull Throne 2019 (Details to follow)
Slaugtherborn	Don't know a great deal about this fellow. Maybe we'll get lucky , and it's just some addle-brained painter's imagination? ~ Anonymous ~	Skulls for the Skull Throne 2019 (Details to follow)
Skulltaker, Blood God's Champion	This one pops up, now and again. FInds a mortal hero, chops 'em to fishbait, and makes off with their skull as a trophy. You couldn't make it up. ~ Marius Holseher ~	Slay Bödvarr Ribspreader during the Skulls for the Skull Throne 2019 Event
The Last War of Bastonne the Bold	Knightly honour's one thing, but a bellowing brass daemon-steed's always going to tip the balance in favour of the other fellow. ~ Anonymous ~	Completing the Weekly Event during Skulls for the Skull Throne 2020
Onslaught from Beyond	Don't often see Khornate and Slaaneshi daemons working together. Won't last, but it'll end worse for someone else first. ~ Adriannus the Smith ~	Slay Bödvarr Ribspreader during Skulls for the Skull Throne 2020
The Alabaster Line	I hear those swordmasters are so fast they can cut arrows out of the air. They're gonna need every bit of that speed. ~ Anonymous ~	Complete 8 Quickplay Missions during Skulls for the Skull Throne 2020
Bloodcrusher	Never been exactly sure how one crushes blood, if I'm honest. But I suppose anything goes flatter if you stomp it hard enough. ~ Marius Holseher ~	Collect 8 pieces of Ravaged Art during Skulls for the Skull Throne 2020
The Butcher of Blood Bay	I like this one, despite the subject matter. Those eyes - that eye, rather - really follows you round the room. ~ Spyre of Albion ~	Complete the Weekly Event during Gehiemnisnacht 2019	Source
The Flooded Crown	I know this place. Up in Marienburg. Serves a good drop, but you'll get wet feet come tide-in. ~ Aldo Richter ~	Find 9 Ravaged Art in A Quiet Drink during the first Anniversary
Mordin's Fate	Yes, well ... no one tell Bardin, eh? I'll have a quiet word myself. ~ Adriannus the Smith ~	Slay 1,000 Skaven during the Year of the Rat Event
The Scabrous Plague	Gives me shivers all over to look 'em. If you hold the painting to your ear, you can hear it squeaking. ~ Anonymous ~	Slay Skarrik Spinemanglr and Rasknitt (& Deathrattler!) during the Year of the Rat Event

Shadows Over Bögenhafen DLC[ | ]

Name	Description	Obtention Method
Two-Headed Doom	Ugly devil, ain't he? Could have sworn I knew his name. Begins with a 'G'. Why Can't I remember names beginning with 'G". Too many ales, I suppose. ~ Anonymous ~	Find 3 Ravaged Art in The Pit
Soulrender, First of the Blood	There's hierarchy, even amongst daemons. Whether it's blood or ichor in their veins, never trust a body who wants a throne. ~ Marius Holseher ~	Find 30 Ravaged Art in The Pit
Prince Imarl's Triumph	You know how you can tell this was painted from real life? The elf's showing off. Still, rather him than you or me, eh? ~ Anonymous ~	Find 3 Ravaged Art in The Blightreaper
The Outcast Son, Furthest From Favour	Hard to imagine a blighted monster like that having family ain't it? Still, it's a face only a mother could love. ~ Marius Holseher ~	Find 30 Ravaged Art in The Blightreaper
Shadows Over Bögenhafen	There's something written on the back... "And at the appointed time we shall rise from our secret places and throw down the towns and cities of The Empire." That's unsettling... ~ Unknown ~	Collect all Shadows over Bögenhafen cosmetic items

Back to Ubersreik DLC[ | ]

Name	Description	Obtention Method
Journey Into Light	Hard to be sure what Catrinne's Based this on. You lot do spend a lot of time wandering around underground. ~ Catrinne of Aldenstein ~	Find 3 Ravaged Art in The Horn of Magnus
The Infernal Carriage Roars	Daemons are bad enough, but daemons with siege weapons? I can do without that thank you very much. ~ Marius Holseher ~	Find 30 Ravaged Art in The Horn of Magnus
Last Respects at Midnight	Nothing like a procession by the adepts of Morr to send a shiver down your spine. There's a reason they all wear hoods, you know. ~ Anonymous ~	Find 3 Ravaged Art in Garden of Morr
We Are Legion	Like it or not, one day we'll all be fighting in the largest army of them all. Only question is who'll be pulling our strings. ~ Anonymous ~	Find 30 Ravaged Art in Garden of Morr
Blackfall Mine, Hope's Last Gleaming	What do you reckon? Could be that hole Olesya dug you all out of? Bit of artistic licence involved, but I like it. ~ Catrinne of Aldenstein ~	Find 3 Ravaged Art in Engines of War
Krell, Lord of Undeath	Nasty one, this. Krell you'll have heard of, but it's the tower behind him that bothers me. Nagashizzar, it's named in legend when folk dare speak of it at all. ~ Anonymous ~	Find 30 Ravaged Art in Engines of War

Winds of Magic DLC[ | ]

Name	Description	Obtention Method
Study of a Nameless Beast	That girl's getting better at light and shadow, don't you think? At least it's not another one of Victor. ~ Catrinne of Aldenstein ~	Find the Lost Cameo Pendant
The Children of Chaos	Ain't a forest in the Empire not chock full of beastmen. There's always more of them than you think. ~ Anonymous ~	Recover the Beastmen Spoils
Bray-Reaver	Worst thing about the beastmen is they don't really have a goal beyond mindless destruction. They yearn for the time before civilisation, apparently. Mind you, We've all had days like that. ~ Anonymous ~	Have 3 Gors die by warpfire
Cloven Archers	Not many marksmen in the brayheards. Most beastmen aren't too good at the old hand-eye coordination. But ungors? They're daft enough - even if they steal more arrows than they fletch. ~ Thrask the Mad ~	Have Ungor Archers score the killing blow on a Minotaur
Study of a Bestigor	By and large, the more armour a beastman wears, the higher it is up the pecking order. Strength takes all in the brayherds - loot's just a part of it ~ Anonymous ~	Have a Bestigor charge a Chaos Warrior
Ungrol Hornthief	You've got to admire the front of this one. Lacking any real horns of his own, he bashed out the brains of his heard's leaders and took theirs for his own. It's cheating, but it's creative cheating. ~ Marius Holseher ~	Slay a Minotaur Under the Oak on Against the Grain

Curse of Drachenfels[ | ]

Name	Description	Obtention Method
Shadows over Drachenfels	Now, this is more like it. Moody. Ominous. Austere. That said, I think it could use a little cat down in the corner, Don't you? ~ Anonymous ~	Complete all mission challenges in Old Haunts
In the Company of the Great Enchanter	Look out, miss! He's behind you! She don't half look familiar. ~ Anonymous ~	Complete all mission challenges in Blood in the Darkness
Castle Drachengels (An Artist's Impression)	Normally I'd wonder if this was the same place, but Castle Drachenfels has a way of changing appearance with the passing years. ~ Johann the White ~	Complete all mission challenges in The Enchanter's Lair

Grail Knight Career DLC[ | ]

Name	Description	Obtention Method
Brotherhood of the Wing	Folk think pegasi are cute, but there's nothing cute about a bloody great horse with two bloody great wings. Roast up something proper, though. Ask Bardin.	Complete the second Duty within 5 seconds of the first one as Grail Knight.
Knights of the Realm	Look at 'em! The flower of Bretonnian chivalry! Until someone brings a shield wall, of course. Goes a bit iffy then.	Complete Act 1 without failing a mission on Legend difficulty or above as Grail Knight.
Valour Untold	Them Bretonnians love a good duel - can't help themselves. Mind you, they're not very bright, most of 'em. That's probably why.	Complete Act 2 without failing a mission on Legend difficulty or above as Grail Knight.
Eloise of the Fair	See how that poor old flower's withring in her hand? Best to keep her a long way from touchy-feely distance, if you take my meaning.	Complete Act 3 without failing a mission on Legend difficulty or above as Grail Knight.
The Red Dawn	If there's anything a Bretonnian hates more than an Imperial knight, its the undead. They're a bit like Kertillian's lot, that way. Natural order of the world, and all that.	Complete all Grail Knight challenges.
