We moved to volomir.com!

If you have been paying attention to the facebook page, you know already that "Volomir's Blog" is now history and is turning into a broader website. Let me introduce you to volomir.com!

volomir.com wants to be a new website concept, much more ambitious for the miniature painting and sculpting world. We want to be a new voice for miniatures, stronger and braver, that takes our community further, to reach more people and above all, spread the love for our art. We want to concentrate on the painting and sculpting community, in the news from our companies, the work of the professionals, news, events, opinions and entertainment, and of course, tutorials. We want to publicize, spread and dignify. A big speaker so that the miniature world broadens its frontiers!

You may be wondering, what about all the material that was published here? Galleries, articles, tutoriales? Don't worry! Everything will be migrated when the time is right, to the new website.

From now on, this old Blogger website will stop having new posts and slowly will be dismantled so that everything worth keeping appears in the new volomir.com.

You'll see that soon the feed of the blog will stop pointing here and the content is transferred to the new site.

Update your bookmarks! See you in volomir.com!

8 reasons not to miss Leganés 2016 this weekend

Here are 8 reasons this year that I can quickly think of to encourage you not to miss Leganés 2016 this weekend (and I can think of many more!)

  1. It's the best modeling contest you will find nowadays in Madrid.
  2. The commercial area has stands from the best spanish companies and many will present their new releases (which you will be able to get before anyone else) this exact weekend.
  3. Because the contest is huge and has some of the best judges you can find in Spain.
  4. Because there will be beers. And then you'll cry because you missed them!
  5. Do you remember that modeling tool that you are missing and can't find anywhere? I'm sure you will find it in some stand in the commercial area.
  6. Because there's painting and sculpting demos from some of the best artists of the country.
  7. Because this year the special theme will be the USA, and we know how much you love it ;)
  8. And specially, because this year we are collaborating with the organization, and as part of that collaboration, we will be recording our podcast The Big Three live in the event!

Join us this weekend in Leganés and be part of the show!

Need more reasons?

See you this weekend... in Leganés!

Also, don't forget that if you are far from Madrid, you can also visit Montreux or La Condotta this weekend... so there's plenty of options for you!

Golden Demon Classic - Rules and Categories

Dear lovers of good old Golden Demons, Games Workshop has revealed the rules and categories of their new (but old) Golden Demon for this year. After quite some time of unknowns and mystery, it seems like things go back to normal!

And if anyone had a doubt about it, the name as you can see here is Golden Demon Classic.

Classic. CLASSIC.

Here's the official document with all the details if you want to check it out.

Link to Rules and Categories in the Warhammer World site

Oh, and despite the big changes in the Warhammer Fantasy world, seems like it all stays business as usual. Everything Warhammery (Fantasy, Blood Bowl, Mordheim, Age of Sigmar) goes to the same categories. And we even have LOTR! All of this makes me quite happy. :)

And also, some cause for speculation... where does it say that Open is not eligible for the Sword? ¬¬

Newsflash: Golden Demon 2016 May 14-15 confirmed

During the Horus Heresy Weekend at Warhammer World today, and during the celebration of the last "mini" Golden Demon (this one for Horus Heresy models only), Games Workshop has finally (finally!!!) announced their plans for a classic Golden Demon.

The long awaited event by many like me is happening definitely this year.

It is confirmed to be celebrated during the Warhammer Fest, on the weekend of May 14-15. There's probably more details coming tomorrow about the whole event but for now this is the official confirmation that I have and it is 100% certain.

Thanks to Max and his friend for the pic!

Golden Demon fans rejoice! The last time we heard news from a classic Golden Demon was on May last year. From that moment on, it has all been about rumours and unofficial information. It took them quite some time to make it official but it is finally here.

I am quite interested in seeing what is going to happen with all the important changes that have happened in Games Workshop lately. I'll certainly try to make it happen and be there, and maybe even enter something of my own. It's very exciting to have a Golden Demon again!

More on this soon!

Do Not Miss: January 2016

And the year begins with another great set of things to Do Not Miss!

You may have noticed that the Blog has been quite silent lately. This is something temporary, as there is some major work in the background being done at the moment. I am deeply remodelling the blog and therefore the usual content from my part is taking a toll. I will report with news for the site very soon! Stay tuned! In the meantime... Do Not miss...
