Lord of Change

At the end of this work I can only say - I did not like the bird! 

A lot of defects of failcast, bumpy surface, a kind of patchwork in place of chains and ornaments - all these brought me many hours of "suffering".

Chaos Dwarves - Command group.

   And a little bit more Chaos Dwarves from the Russian alternative - the command group. Sculptor - Rozenberg Maxim "Rozmax".
    By the way, to get these and other miniatures from Russian Alternative is now possible on e-bay store.

Shimmer leaping half drow female. HassleFree

It was a hard choice for the miniature for The Spring Angel from the Russian Alternative. I wanted to paint a rider but it doesn't match for the rules. Suddenly I saw an on-line competition on WAMP forum with HassleFree miniatures. One of it - Shimmer - was waiting for my hands for two eyars and it was a good chance to give it a life. This is my first miniature of this manufacturer and I got a really great pleasure to paint it.
   The idea of big tree was born from a stick under her feet. It was my second expirience of tree-building, first was in the Wolf's Den. It went all the easier, and a frame was made of a thin wire, and the texture of the bark turned out smaller.  

  I choose a "forest" color scheme. In this case I had to do focus on the head / face of the character, despite its camouflage. A bright-red hair helped me to do it.
  Shimmer is a good fighter: the third place in this wonderful competition from Russian Alternative and the first place on the WAMP forum.

 

 

 

Chaos dwarfs. Russian Alternative

   Russian Alternative releases more miniatures in its line of Chaos Dwarves - a unit of five dwarves. Sculptor - Rozenberg Maxim "Rozmax". Not long ago I was painting the work by this sculptor from Russian Alternative - it was The Dwarf of Fire Canyon. Now I'm working on command group: a champion, flagbearer and musician, so you'll see them soon.

Skull Cannon of Khorne

 One more unit fir Chaos army. What am I doing - we'll all be destroyed soon by these diabolical creatures! :)

Results of The Crystal Hammer 2013

The Crystal Hammer 2013 took place at 29, June in Moscow as a part of  the annual Moscow Games Day.
Everything went as usual: lots of board games, a bit of miniatures, several game tables. In principle, you could find something to occupy yourself for a holiday. But all spoil a few points: 35 degree heat, the room without air conditioning and no chairs to "sit down." In the end I felt in a fog and was in a strange state of my mind at the awards ceremony at five o'clock.

Showcases were placed really bad because of rear lighting so it was hard to look at the works (no words about the photography). Thank you so much for Yarik's first photo report, where you can see some of the prizes! I took some photo and insert it in my list untill I'll find the official photos.
