Do Not Miss: April 2013

These are the most interesting things I've seen in April 2013:

• Modelling weapon ornaments by Steve Party: Figurin TV makes this amazing video (in French) on how Steve creates his wonderful and highly detailed weaponry. I love all that Steve does, so this video even though it's in French, is A MUST.
  
  
• Scale 75 new releases: This spanish company is giving it all with their new releases, and its consolidating Steam Wars as one of the most interesing miniature ranges of the market. Impressive tandem between Elías Alonso and Joaquín Palacios that turn to gold everything they touch.
  
  
• Buzzcut from Remy Tremblay for Dreadball: By looking at the box arts from Dreadball you'd never tell that Remy Tremblay is behind many of their creations. I think they should paint his creations with more love.
  
  
• Along came a spider by Piqui and Iguazzu: Cursed Monkeys new creation is this very interesting scene created with the pre-released Dwarf from Heroes and Villains beautifully sculpted by Jonatan Monerris.
  
  
• AMT Torrent review by Rafa Coll: This very famous contest in Spain was celebrated in April and Rafa Coll brings us his personal review with lots of photos. It's divided in different posts so don't just stay in this first one linked!
  
  
• Aradae Mawr: Another great sculpture from master Chaudon for Mierce Miniatures.
  
  
• Tupac by Christian Hardy: Really cool sculpture of a lizardmen skink, super dynamic. I love it!
  
  
• The Clockwork Man: Brilliant idea by Rafa Coll from a Sargeant Blackart miniature. Amazing!
  
  
• Rime of the Merchant Marienburger: This absolutely amazing army has caught my attention to an extent I couldn't feel imaginable. Check it out, it's the Empire Fantasy army on the last part of the post.
  
  
• Sibila del Oráculo de Delfos: A Step by Step article (in Spanish) by Pepa which in my opinion is absolutely essential. I learnt a lot from it!
  
  
• How to make a woodbox for miniatures: Magnificent article in Hysteria Yard about how to create a wooden box to transport miniatures. No more excuses!
  
  
• How to make simple spider webs: Interesting and useful video on 5th Dimension on how to do spider webs in a very simple manner.
  
  
• Luz New York from Pedro Fernández: In Rafa Coll's Blog, first part of the sculpting photos of this wonderful miniature from Pedro Fernández for Nocturna Models.
  
  

A change of colours

This September (2013), Volomir's Blog will be 5 years old! I have many things in mind to celebrate this really important birthday. Some of them are already prepared even though there are still a few more months until September.


One of the things that I was going to do, as part of the glorious festivities, is change the appearance of the Blog. The current one, with the Last Stand of the Crimson Fists background banner, and the current blue colours, has been in place for more than 3 years now, and I believe it looked a little bit old-fashioned as of now.


However, September is still a long way to go and the look&feel changes are already prepared! And I simply can't wait to show it off! So, instead of waiting until September, I've decided to buy the Blog an early Happy Birthday gift and update it... TODAY!

Say goodbye to the old dark blue colours...

And join me in welcoming the new yellow colours! Hello Mosin!



You'll see Mosin the cat and his legendary garbage can in even more places than before. I'm loving that "Raspura Oscura" yellow. More and more changes incoming!

High Elves WD Good Quality Pics Exclusive!

There's more exclusives today in Volomir's Blog! Being a true High Elf lover as I am, I have to be the one sharing this. Check out these gorgeus photos from the new High Elves. Some of them have been already seen, but certainly not to this quality! Click on them to see them bigger. And remember, you saw it first on Volomir's Blog! Always bringing you the best of the best ;)

Golden Demon 2013 dates finally confirmed!

I bring you as a complete exclusive this sneak peak of this month's White Dwarf.



For those not profficient in Spanish, this means that we finally have all of these dates officially confirmed:

• GD US: July 27
• GD Germany: August 11
• GD UK: September 29
• GD Italy: October 20

Good to see all these dates finally confirmed! Obviously no word on GD Spain and France, already presumed dead in 2013, but also no word on Japan and Australia, cancelled too? Note that GD Germany is not in Bochum, but in Köln, and not in November, but rather in August, as confirmed by internal GW sources in Germany. I'm guessing GW guys had no time to stop the printing of White Dwarf before they finally confirmed Gurzenich in Köln!

I am thinking of attending Germany, UK and Italy, following my 3 GD per year policy. Seems very doable according to dates!

Remember, you saw it first on Volomir's Blog!
