Sponsorship from Gale Force Nine!

On Friday a nice big box was delivered to my front door from Gale Force Nine! When I opened it up it was full of the templates for the Heroes of Armageddon project. One set for each of the four armies.

Very exciting stuff. There's a set for each of the armies, so the four winners will have matching equipment to go with their spectacular force.

If you are an event organizer and are interested in getting some custom etched templates (or markers or counters) as a cool piece of swag for your event, you can contact the Battlefront Global Events Manager, Joe Krone, at joe dot krone at battlefront dot co dot nz

If you're a store owner, you can talk with your Battlefront Customer Service rep. Note, you'll need a minimum of 24 items to get started.

I quickly jumped in and grabbed out everything for the Steel Legion army. Here they are (above): a Turn Counter, a set of Deployment Zone markers, one of GF9's great Multi-Template, and one of the great GF9 T.A.C. Templates!

Here are the same templates for Ghazghkull's Ork Horde, in deep green as befits this mighty army.

And a set of red templates for the Speed Freakz army, because everyone knows "red ones go faster"!

And finally, to complement the great looking Death Company and Stormraven models, we opted for an almost black for the Blood Angels army!

Thanks very much to the team at Gale Force Nine for these great additions to the HOA Project.

Donate now by clicking on the Paypal button in he right column!

Cheers

Death Company Storm Raven, Part 5: the finished model!

I finally was able to finish the Death Company Storm Raven for the Heroes of Armageddon Project. Here are the images:

Here's the full shot with the front door open. I painted the entire interior but nothing of it will show, except the front part. it's a matter of principle for me, but still a bit disappointing that this model lets very little light in when the hatches are open.

 my favorite part of the model: the lowly servitor

 side shot with all the grey streaking that I talk about in post two (see below)

 The wings are magnetized, so this model transports easily

 The engine goes from silver to brown to black, which looks nice.

If you want to see the previous posts, here's a list

part one: magnetizing the wings

part two: how to paint a plane black

part three: basing

part four: starting on the details

This plane will fly off to Chicago and will be one of the models for the Blood Angels Army that will be given to a lucky donater. REMEMBER: if you want a chance to win this and many other great models, please donate some bucks through Paypal. ALL the money will go to DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS.

Here's their newsfeed for this week: pretty amazing work they do...check out the person that go arrested in Bahrein without reason and thankfully released again without charges after weeks of jailtime for no reason.

Victoria has been kind enough to send a few of her products to us to raffle off for this weeks Heroes of Armageddon drawing.

Victoria Lamb is a multiple Golden Demon winner and the awesome builder / painter behind a number of my favorite models and mini dioramas. Her OSL effects were way ahead of the times and awe inspiring.

Heroes Prize: 10 Troll Forged Miniature Chem Soldiers!

A while back I was browing Table Top Fix, when my eye fell on these minis:

 

 Troll Forged is a community of amateur sculptors who all post their work on their own forum. Readers can comment on the sculpts, after which the best ones get molded and cast. They are put up for sale on their store and each sale gives the sculptor a commission, which never ends. In this way sculptors can keep reinvesting time and money to get better and keep at it. The brain behind this group is Ed Fortae, who is the sole caster. I thought it was all too good to be true and I sent him an email, requesting some of those Chemsoldiers, which would make great IG troopers. 

Hm...it took about an hour before Ed emailed me back and said, YES of course I will give some models for the cause and he sent me 10 Chemsoldiers which we are now giving away for Heroes of Armageddon!

To support Ed and his friends visit Troll Forged Miniatures and check it out, it's REALLY interesting stuff.

Here you can read more about the people behind Troll Forged Minis

This Sunday we will draw ONE lucky winner. You all know the drill: donate with Paypal and support a GOOD cause!

cheers!

And Simon M's model goes to....

Congrats to Joel and thank you for being generous to the cause. Joel will still be able to also win one of the four armies. The drawing for that will happen in about 5 weeks!

It's certainly a wonderful model and would look great in any glass case or on the battlefield...if you want to win this mini, you will have to donate some bucks to the Heroes of Armageddon; ALL THE MONEY GOES TO DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS, so you are doing a good thing, no matter what. Link on the right top of the blog. We appreciate it.
