Hey Volomir,
thanks a lot for the pictures, there are some very nice entrys. I have a question concerning the imperial commissar conversion from the Latorre miniature. You mentioned that it was presented at the French GD, does that mean that it was in the competition? I am just wondering because we have quite strict rules at the German GD. Entering such a miniature here would take a lifetime ban from GD as a consequence.
Don't get me wrong with my question, I don't want to blame the artist of this miniature, I am just curious. :)
Keep up the good work on your blog.
Hey Chris!
Yes, the commissar is made from a Latorre miniature, and it was presented at the GD in France. It won nothing and I don't know if it was because of the transformation using another brands miniature or because it just wans't good enough to win. But anyway, it goes to the Open contest and I don't think it will be a great deal if it is made out of something else but reflects the spirit of GW. And I've never heard of being banned for life from GD. Can that happen for real?
Thanks for the info on the Commisar. Just to explain the change in the German rules: a couple of years ago you could do team entrys, where one person was the painter and another the sculptor. I always liked that idea because you can bring great talent together. Two years ago they changed the rules in certain ways.
1. All parts used on a mini must be from GW.
2. A mini must be entirely done by one person, no more team entrys.
If you don't follow the rules, a consequence can be a worldwide, lifetime ban from GDs. The German pdf is up on the German GW homepage. Personally I don't like this rule but it seems to be strict. I don't know if they would really ban someone for life or if its just blabla....
See you :)
I'm pretty sure this would just be blabla. Why would they go through the pain of banning a person from a GD? They would just disqualify the miniature and thats it. Too much effort to ban a person from GDs just because of that! They would receive a lot of bad press and gain nothing out of it.
