From zaphod at minipainting-guild.net Mon Jan 7 13:58:51 2008 From: zaphod at minipainting-guild.net (Zaphod) Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2008 12:58:51 -0700 Subject: [Guildmembers] Update at Mini-Painting Guild!!!! Message-ID: Well it has been *almost* a year since the Golden Goblins in Edmonton. I may or may not have updated after that, but since winning 1st in LOTR with Gandalf, and 3rd in 40K with Asurmen, I had not really touched the brush at all since. Just before Christmas, my friend Tom, in Calgary, who is a long time D&D gamer, asked if I could do a couple of quick PC figures for him for his players. Well it seemed like a great way to get back into the groove, so I painted up Baerwyn the archer from Reaper minis and another (unknown manufacturer) figure for a Warforged character. Both turned out decent for gaming pieces, and I specifically like the camo pattern and the "Cylon eye" on the Warforged character. Since I had some days off over the holidays, I also decided to tackle a commission that had been sitting on my desk for a year. Ian Newbold (from Newbold Wrold) had sent me two Trollgrim characters to paint. The first is a Heavyweight boxer, and the second is the Cornerman. Both came out pretty nice, though I really like the Cornerman the best. He is glad to get them and I am glad to get them done! I have also added two new Crappy Mini or Not pages, the first being Lorna the Huntress by Lisa Wood, and the second beign a Bloodbowl player by Aaron Platt. Both repaints are fantastic! What does the future hold? Well there is a new version of the fabled Chick Challenge so I have an entry all prepped, primed and ready to go for that, as well as a LOTR figure (Strider) for the upcoming Warpstone painting contest at GROTsCon in Red Deer. I shall try to get both done as well as another GW fig for the contest though these will likely be quite time-consuming. Thanks for your patience with updates, and if anyone can tell me the manufacturer of the Warforged figure, please do! Remember, all my updated stuff can be viewed from my main page! Have a Super New Year all!!!
