sweet - thanks for helping Jess

the free minis have been snapped up

Copied over from wamp: Posted by Captain Sprout In the spirit of the Privateer Press entry I had something I ordered arrive as something else completely and have no use for some of the models (and I don't like them!). Got these http://www.diver.pt/loja/images/Cryx...tch_Thrall.jpg Didn't order them and only rather like the thingy in the middle (no idea what it is or why) so will keep that. If anyone wants two of the things on the right and the thing on the left let me know..if you paint them up for the comp in some shape or form you can have them for nothing, first come first served. So if anyone is interested pm captain sprout here or at wamp or failing that myself. The privateer press category has 2 x $50 credit up for grabs and you can even have a free mini to enter with!!

cheers Erc, sounds like there going to be a fair few start this - hope most finish!

probably 2-3 weeks - gives people time to give Nathan money!!

Nathan/Eric - hope this is ok to put up here? Over at wamp we are going to be running a group tutorial with Ritual, so i thought i would post here for anyone that may be interested in participating: Ritual (Anders Eklund) is one of Wyrd's studio painters and a gold medal winner at World Expo so its a great chance to learn from a top painter This is the first of what i hope will be many 'paint along' tutorials. Many of you wanted a group project to work through together so i have taken that concept a little further. So heres how it works: Anders had kindly agreed to lead this process. He will paint up parts of the mini and show us how he did - you can then go and repeat the process on your own copy of that mini. Then there will be another step and so on. As everyone is doing the same mini with the same process it gives us a great opportunity to see how we are doing and where we may be going wrong. The mini Anders has chosen is Sebastian , the morgue assistant from Wyrd miniatures Anders actually painted the studio version you see before you. So if you want to take part you will need a copy of Sebastian all cleaned and ready to go. We will be giving some time for you to order and get these but if you intend working along then let us know. The more people the better To participate just goto: http://wamp-forum.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=33417#33417 you need to be a wamp member but its free to join

The summer may be gone but these contests just get hotter, time to announce number 8 of the year.

man im sorry to hear you had that crap mate. without taking away from this it may actually help in a way. he failed in his attempt and at least now, the police and your neighbourhood will be on the lookout for the sicko. hopefully they will catch him now before anything worse happens. i know this doesnt change your fear or anger or anything - just trying to see a silver lining for you.

if he happens to walk by it should it

The wait is over - the results for the first ever Wamp special are in. Judged by Wyrd's very own Rob Cardiss (aka Demonherald) I have pleasure in announcing first place goes to...... Landreth! with his beautiful version of Perdita. [url=http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z93/darklordminiatures/Perdita.jpg] 2nd place goes to Jabberwocky! with his lovely Witchling Stalker 3rd place goes to Boris! with her version of Ramos and finally 4th place goes to Darklord with his Convict Gunslinger. I just want to say well done to the winners especially Landreth and well done to everyone else that entered. I know Rob had a hard time choosing these 4 and there were several that nearly made it. I really didnt think we would have so many entries (21!) let alone at such a great standard. it really has set a fantastic benchmark for all the wamp specials to come in the future and i hope we can support those as well as this one. we have a gamezone one running now if anyone is interested in that. also a big thankyou to Wyrd for sponsoring this contest for us. we all love your stuff!

ooh intriguing. now if yu can sell a wyrd time stopper so i can squeeze all this painting in then im sold!
