We're meeting again in the new year! We hope it will be a good year for all of us - full of new beautiful minis and much time for painting them. And if it's possible - talking about the hobby in the forum. We'd love to meet you there again.

And to kick off with some good news, we would like to announce that Ana's mini-diorama won the Paint Garrity Competition, which was a part of the Newbold Challenge 2007. As the results are already official, we can show you the Garrity Gals. If you enjoy these miniatures - we're more than happy.

So enough of this talking! Happy new year to you all, and now let's return to miniatures

OK, guys. I am quite sick at home and don't spend as much time at my computer as usually as I should stay in bed for most of the time, not much news this time.

After posting new pictures of Galharen's High Elf Lord to his gallery, we also put him on eBay. So now we've got two auctions going on: One for Galharen's High Elf, and the other for Ana's Female Summoner (the topless version), sculpted by Tom Meier.

Check them out to see if you wouldn't be interested...

Yesterday we returned from Bazyliszek - an annual convention in Warsaw. There's always a painting competition at Bazyliszek, called "Van Gork's Sunflowers". Some of us participated in this contest and we're back with a few trophies, and a lot of photos. If you want to see all the winning entries, just visit our forum. But if you want to see even more photos - including all the remaining entries, other miniatures, and photos from the event - just visit the gallery.

For those who are curious who painted which mini, we tried to identify as many authors as possible and put their names in the captions of the pics in the gallery. But if you know the author of an undescribed entry - just let us know.
Thanks a lot!

Hi all,

At Chest of Colors we've uploaded pictures of our Golden Demon winning entries: Demon Color's eldar Falcon grav-tank, covered with elaborate freehand patterns, and Ana's Ogre on Rhinox (here seen from other angles). Both of them won gold in their categories, so we believe they should be worth checking out! Of course it's only if you haven't already seen them ;-)Here goes Illusionrip's Nurgle Daemon Prince for Warhammer 40K, which won gold in Warhammer 40K Monster category, and Kacpero's Cirdan which won him silver in the LOTR category. And the last one is Illusionrip's Orc, also a winner of a silver trophy in Warhammer Single Model category. There was also Illusionrip's Sicarius, but you've already seen him in our gallery

I think that's all for this year's Golden Demon Poland, but this doesn't mean we won't paint anything new before the new year Stay with us to see if I am right....
