Chaos Géant by Julien Casses

Here's another one from our french friend Julien Casses. This one got gold on UK Games Day 2008. It's a great figure! I love the details which make this one different, specially the shield on the back, very Sebastian style with all those turquoises.

I have to give a chance to a Giant myself one of these days.

Congrats Julien for the Gold! Hope to see you soon.

Mexican Palace Guard

Today I present you more fantastic minis from the international figure universe. I start with this astonishing figure which is a sculpture of a bust by our dear friend Paul. It's a bust of a Mexican Palace Guard in 1/9 scale which is brutal. It reminds me of the classical sculpture because of the forms from the face and the way he does the hair of the beard. I love it. Congrats Paul because you made an incredible piece again! Check out the great quality of the details!

This bust is going to be on sale by Michael Miniatures on October 2008.

Here you have a little work in progress report on the Spanish Team forum.

Who had the guts to finish this?

When we plan to get into a new figure, what always comes to our mind is the eternal question. What will I do to make this new miniature unique? The pose? Static or dinamic? mmm... there are a lot of static poses in figures already. Come on! Let's do a dinamic one, running maybe? Charging! Or even jumping!

But after all this good intentions, you get into modelling and converting and then you see there's no way that figure will stand on his arm... the metal parts make the figure bent like madness... its imposible to paint that tiny little thing that although hidden remains visible to everybody from kilometers away. And in all your desperation, the miniature falls to the floor (or even worse, falls to the floor when you just finished painting) and all this apocaliptic scene finishes in a maremagnum of broken pieces, destruction and chaos. So you finally decide to paint a monocomponent Space Marine right out of the box and there you have, all your problems are solved.

Well, it turns out that some chosen people are able to triumph and not only ignore the laws of physics but also Murphy's Laws. How can someone paint this diorama and not break anything in the process?!



It's insane... Congrats to Talonicus for finishing this scene and not die while doing it. And also for the Golden Demon of course (bronze in Diorama GD UK 2008). I don't know how were the other entries but I'm sure there was great competition!

Extra! Extra! Spanish Golden Demon 2009 in Madrid!

Some information filtered by gaming clubs from Games Workshop and the organisers of the event say that its very posible that this year's Golden Demon is going to be held in Madrid. It will be the same weekend as the D.O.S Warhammer tournament. The date of the event would be Sunday 15 of March and the actual location would be Leganés, a small city close to Madrid, which also held the D.O.S. event last year. If this news are confirmed, people who prefer Madrid for the event will be very happy. We have been asking for this many years now and finally they are answering our prayers. Now we just have to attend the event on masse and make it the best event of the world. Let's make them see how reasonable they have been!! Also, people who prefer playing to painting will have the chance of attending D.O.S. which will be held the day before, Saturday 14 March. But there are still some questions to be answered, nothing is confirmed yet. Will there be Games Day? What will the categories for Golden Demon be? Whatever happens, its good enough that people begin to talk that the Golden Demon 2009 is going to be actually held. Not everyone thought this was going to happen! News can't be better. Of course I will be there... will you? We're gonna have so much fun!!!!
