Wed, 21 Jul 2010 06:39:30 -0400 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/ :: CHEST OF COLORS :: en-us http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/images/logo.gif http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/ webmaster@chestofcolors.com http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=378 After a very long period of silence caused by serious involvement in family matters we're back with some great news. Not only you can see something new from a painter you might have easily forgotten, not only you can see some of our popular painters take on a model of a new manufacturer. You also get to see a lot of pictures. You get to see new works from several painters. You will see single models, you will see dioramas, you will see vehicles, you will see units and you will see armies!So let's rock!You could have forgotten that there is such a painter as Hacket. But he is still here and he even presents his latest finished model: the Last Stand diorama, depicting... well, I won't spoil the surprise for you.Then there is Slawol with this Gatling Cannon painted for MaxMini - the manufacturer. You know what to expect from Slawol: weathering, dirt, and approach taken from military modelling.Ana also painted a model from a manufacturer that she's never painted before: Privateer Press. The model is the Epic Thagrosh - Messiah of Everblight. Obviously inspired by the official artwork, but not directly copied. Check the photos to appreciate all the fine details added to the model.Kacpero added another model for the collection of Red Scorpions Space Marines characters he was painting for several last months. This time it's Commander Culln of the Red Scorpions. And that's not the end of his Red Scorpions project yet!Gildor painted two models for Warhammer 40.000 and both are terminators. One is an Ultramarine Terminator, and the other is a Chaos Space Marines Terminator Lord. Do you think his painting improved since the previous paintjobs?Nameless started a new gallery for his Kir-Danaar Eldar army, which is the subject of his Tale of Gamers project. Now you can see a Eldar Farseer with a squad of Eldar Guardians, Eldar Vyper and Eldar Jetbikes in that album. Hopefully more is still to come!Kacper_gda added three new items to his gallery: a unit of Skaven Censer Bearers, Ogre Kingdoms Gorger, and a Dark Elf Hydra. It must be said that he keeps his usual quality on his paintjobs...And now let's move to the largest update in today's news: Wood Elves by Rzymek. It's a big part of an army of Wood Elves, but still not the complete thing. Despite this, it's still an impressive achievement, as the miniatures are really a nice sight. Let's start with everybody's favorites, the Wardancers, and then move on to the other units in the army: Wood Elf Glade Guards, Waywatchers, Wood Elf Hero on Great Eagle, Wood Elf mounted characters, Wood Elf Glade Riders, Dryads led by Drycha, Treeman, Treekin, Warhawk Riders, some more Warhawk Riders, Lord on Great Stag and two Wood Elf Standard Bearers. In addition to these miniatures he also painted these Warhammer Quest characters: a Dark Elf Witch and an Empire Wizard. And remember these are still not all the Wood Elves!The last thing in today's news is a bit of a curiosity. It's a small Space Marines force painted with very strict guidelines imposed by the owner. Guidelines, which in fact were limitations, because they also limited the quality of these models. They were supposed to be "black drybrushed with metal", but Rzymek decided he'd do a bit more anyway. So here is an example of the most basic Space Marine paintjobs by Rzymek: Space Marines Terminators and a Space Marines squad, two Space Marines characters and a Dreadnought. Can you see the difference between these and his other regimental paintjobs? Well, it's difficult not to see :-)Take care and stay tuned for more news! Wed, 21 Jul 2010 06:39:30 -0400 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=377 Some time passed and we've got two more Tales finished. What "Tales"? We mean "Tales of Gamers" - the special project run by a few of our users. If you want to learn more about it check the Tale of Gamers rules.You've probably seen the Mordheim Tomb Kings by sea.man already, but now Nameless managed to finish his Kir Danaar Craftworld Eldar and Arctica completed painting his excellent Ork Pirate Crew. All the finished projects are posted to the Tale of Gamers gallery and additional pictures (definitely worth seeing!) are posted in the respective threads of each project.In the meantime several new participants joined the fun! Now you can check more projects than before, including: Necrons a.k.a. Flying Trash by Slawol, Iron Warriors by Loler, Biel Tan Eldar by Redav, Yellow Fists by Pandadosmares, Necromunda Plague Gang by Demi_morgana, Cryx Warband by ToMaZ and Battle of Lundy's Lane by Coyote.Who's going to complete his project and who's going to fail? Why don't you show your support and cheer for the participants in their threads?And maybe you would like to participate too? Why should you? Well, to motivate yourself, to have fun, and to become a world-famous celebrity ;-) OK, we're not 100% serious about it, but why shouldn't you give it a try. It doesn't take any special skills to do it - tabletop quality painting is definitely enough to become another Tale of Gamers painter! And the satisfaction and a little internet fame will be very rewarding for sure :-) Sun, 18 Jul 2010 20:52:06 -0400 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=376 Frothers Unite asked me to spread the word here, so here goes the information. Read it, please, and if anybody feels like helping - that's even better!It's that time of years again :DThis time it'll be a little bit different.... to save everybody an awful lot of stress there won't be any auctions (HOORAY!)But, and it's a big BUT, there will be some exclusive lead for those that donate.... Thu, 08 Jul 2010 20:23:19 -0400 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=375 It's been some time since the last auction update, but as we're posting various updates today, why shouldn't we add this information?This time on eBay you can find one old model from Illusionrip: Gayle the female warrior. Compare this model to Illusionrip's current works and you will surely see how much his skills improved! So maybe you would like to have this little piece of history in your collection? It's so cheap to try...Then there's a complete Bretonnian army painted by Rzymek. Of course every army can always be expanded, but this army is a good starting point for a collection of Bretonnian miniatures. And if you need any models to add to this army - just contact us and most likely it can be arranged.So all we can say now is good luck! Sun, 09 May 2010 15:49:33 -0400 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=374 Have you ever wondered what happens when a few painters try to get any miniatures painted for their own gaming needs? They start a special project!It's called a "Tale of Gamers" and it's not our own idea. There have been similar projects already, and we used to have one before. The previous one ended with no satisfactory conclusion, but this time the new participants seem to be more motivated and this results in a few interesting project to check out.The general rules of the Tale of Gamers are very simple and you can check them on our forum. Then you can check what the participants are doing in this section.Now here are several projects which are already running: Sea.man's Tomb Kings, Arctica's Ork Pirate Crew, Demi_morgana's Plague Gang, ToMaZ's Cryx, Coyote's Battle of Lundy's Lane, Nameless' Kir Danaar Eldar and Skrit's Death Guard.Good luck, guys! And if anybody feels like joining the fun - you're all welcome :-) Sun, 09 May 2010 08:17:06 -0400 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=373 We've got enough new stuff in the galleries for another update, so let's start!Ana posted pictures of two versions of the same model: Layla Bint Suraya modified to look more like Talim, and another - mounted version of Layla Bint Suraya. Both were based on bases from Scibor's Monstrous Miniatures.Demi_morgana posted pictures of his diorama titled Gone Muddin'.Nameless painted a Private Dancer Jade and a Night Goblin Shaman, he called Oddgit Farti. Check them out, and pay some attention to the goblin, because Nameless really managed to achieve several new things with this model!Gildor posted photos of his latest project: Napoleonic soldiers modified to look more like elves in Napoleonic uniforms. So no moustaches for them! Here is the Napoleonic Infantry and Napoleonic Cavalry and here are two leaders to lead the soldiers: one Napoleonic Leader on foot and one Napoleonic Leader on horse.Lemartes has some interesting stuff in his gallery as well. He added three groups of Org'kka from Dwarf Tales, which were painted for the manufacturer. It's a Polish company making interesting miniatures for their own gaming system. Lemartes painted a group of Org'kka Huntas and two groups of Org'kka Bruta Brutas (here's the other group). Check the manufacturer's site to learn more about the setting and miniatures.And now let me tell you about a special project of our several forum regulars... Sun, 09 May 2010 07:41:16 -0400 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=372 Hello all. Long periods of silence between our news seem to become a kind of tradition here, so let's not waste time for introductions and move on to new miniatures in our galleries:Let us start with Illusionrip's Uncle Meat - miniature sculpted by JAG for the new range of miniatures (coming soon). Different approach to painting blood was presented by Flameon on his Konrad von Carstein. He also painted a Demon Prince of Chaos, after which he admitted big models are not his kind of thing...Large models never discouraged Demi_morgana, but this time the models he presents are not that big. There is a Champion of Nurgle, Chaos Sorcerer of Nurgle and an Aberration. Another painter who likes dirtier and not not too colorful painting is Slawol. His gallery was updated with pictures of a Sigmarite Warrior Priest and Grombrindal, the White Dwarf. Szary presents us two new paintjobs: Eltharion and a Dark Elf Lord - both pretty nice.Lothar surprised us with new pictures in his gallery. Unfortunately small pictures don't allow us to enjoy detailed photos of this Death Jester, but the other miniatures: Lord of Change, Knights of Nurgle and their Mounted Champion of Nurgle can be seen better!Rzymek added a nice bunch of lizardmen to his gallery, including this Saurus Oldblood, Kroxigor, Skink Priest, Salamander, Skinks, Skink Chief and Skink Chief with blowpipe. A whole army of such models must look really cool :) Then there's Kacper_gda, who shows two new paintjobs: Sorcerer of Chaos and an Ogre Butcher.Ana painted three new miniatures: dismounted version of Layla bint Suraya (mounted version to follow), Chrys, Dragon Tamer and a River Dragon as a counterpart model for her.Nameless keeps taking better pictures of his miniatures, which allows us to see and appreciate his works better! This time he added a new and better picture of his Dwarf Thunderlord and three new paintjobs: Lilith, Crypt Bat and Dodgy Drexel.And the last painter featured in this update is Kacpero with his two latest paintjobs: Red Scorpions Space Marines Chaplain and a Chaos Lord from Avatars of War.That's all for now. I just wonder how much time will pass before the next update... Sat, 17 Apr 2010 16:42:17 -0400 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=371 Another week passed, but I am doing my best to be able to say: this time I managed to post the news on the planned time! So this time it's Sunday and here we are with some news from our galleries.Let us start with Illusionrip and his new passion: garage kits. You can see yet another garage kit painted by him, almost exclusively with an airbrush. This thing is big...But we've got many smaller minatures, too! For example Irkuck painted an excellent squad of Ultramarines Space Marines: Marneus Calgar with Retinue. If you want to see more photos of these nice miniatures, just check these photos of Marneus Calgar, his Chaplain, Company Standard Bearer, Librarian, first Terminator, second Terminator, third Terminator, fourth Terminator and finally the last Terminator. And if you still want to see more new paintjobs by Irkuck, see his version of a Night Lords Chaos Space Marine. Maybe there will be more of them one day?Another prolific painter, Demi_morgana, experimented with a new way of taking photos. Thanks to this you can now see a new photo of his old paintjob on this Scavvy Boss and a better photo of the Mid-Nor Scourge Bearer. But it doesn't mean there are no new paintjobs in his gallery. There's a nice group of Mid-Nor Hydra Warriors and for single photos of these miniatures check these out: Here's the first Hydra Warrior, the second Hydra Warrior and finally the last Mid-Nor Dwarf from the group. Pretty cool, aren't they?Let's move on to Slawol's gallery and yet another miniature in his dirty and weathered style: the Emperor's Champion. But if you would like to know if he hasn't forgotten how to paint cleaner miniatures - here's the proof: this Tir-Na-Bor One-Eyed Pilgrim is much cleaner and brighter than the Space Marine. But which style appeals to you more?And now for something more unusual: Two rarely updated galleries finally received some updates! Check this Araqsalil the Skinner by Kuczek and Space Marines Veteran by Mahon out! You never know how much time passes before you see anything new from these painters ;)The last thing in this update is Ana's repainted version of Hasslefree Miniatures' Kat. She painted the model first 4 years ago, and now wanted to improve the paintjob and make it more eyecatching. Hopefully you like the result. I do...Thanks for your attention and see you here soon :-) Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:38:09 -0400 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=370 As late as only I can make it, here is another update about our galleries:Let us start with Rzymek, who added photos of Bretonnian Grail Knights and Questing Knights, Wood Elf Treeman, Eagles and a Great Eagle, and a Dwarf Gyrocopter.Then there's Kacper_gda and his gallery updated with photos of Karanak and Flesh Hounds of Khorne.Lemartes showed his latest Eldar Autarch, and Slawol posted a photo of his Dragon Rune Orc.Szczurek posted a photo of his entry for the 3rd CofC Miniature Exchange: the Imperial Guard Sniper, and so did Szary with his entry: Kasrkin Sergeant Lemartes.Nameless painted Thunderlord - dwarf with an attitude from Avatars of War, and three Warmachine miniatures: Red Thrall, Purple Thrall and Green Thrall.Illusionrip reposted photos of his paintjob on this garage kit, but also added this nice Infinity Yuan Yuan diorama and a closeup of Yuan Yuan, which was awarded in the Infinity Painting Competition organized by Wargamer.pl.And the last painter in this update is Demi_morgana, who finished the squad of Death Guard Terminators of Nurgle, and posted photos of the remaining squaddies: one Death Guard Terminator, another Terminator of Nurgle and this Terminator. But he's not only painting Nurgle stuff, and this Mid-Nor Scourge Bearer and "Red Hook" prove it!Enjoy! Sat, 20 Feb 2010 05:22:54 -0500 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=369 And just before the auctions end, you may wish to take a look what's available at the moment:This time it's Aenur, the Sword of Twilight and Elf Standard Bearer - both painted by Szczurek. And the auctions end on Sunday, so good luck :-) Sat, 20 Feb 2010 04:40:49 -0500 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=368 We promised you a late Christmas Cracker, but due to the problems we had with our server we're even more late than we expected. But here we are with the promised stuff:You probably recognize Illusionrip, one of the most awarded painters in Poland. In 2009 he sold two miniatures from his own display case, but this time we have something better: one of his awarded models. It's the Sad Marine, which was a Golden Demon Finalist in France in 2007. You may remember the model of a kneeling Space Marine, sad about the never ending war. Now it can be yours!Then there's a very nice diorama depicting a sexy sorceress standing on top of a waterfall. Also painted by the same Illusionrip! So if you like his works, why not try to get this one?Slawol is selling his Archaon - Lord of End Times and Space Marines Terminator Chaplain, and you still can bid on Rzymek's Space Wolves Blood Claws if you missed the previous auctions.What more can I say? Check our auctions and good luck! Sun, 24 Jan 2010 17:53:43 -0500 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=367 Long time no see, as they say.Yes, it's been like more than 2 weeks ago, and it was just a short update about our site being back online. So what we've got now is a lot of new miniatures to let you know about!Good manners require that we should let ladies go first, so let us start with Ana and her limited edition Lord of Tzeentch on Disc. Take a look at the patterns on his clothes and tentacles to see what took her so much time to finish this paintjob.Moving on to men now...Demi_morgana is our most recognized Warmachine painter, so you should check his Privateer Press stuff, including this Soulhunter and interesting Ghost of Dire Troll. But there is also a group of German Geneticists from Darkson Designs and a Warhammer 40.000 Death Guard Terminator Lord if you're not a Warmachine or Hordes fan.Illusionrip was not satisfied with the previous photo of his silver-winning diorama, so he decided to replace it with a new picture of the Demonic Tower. Hopefully it does more justice to this excellent piece!A new member of the Chest of Colors group, Slawol, who has just moved there from Box of Brushes, rearranged pictures in his gallery and posted three new pictures: Maneater Paymaster (painted at the time when he was still in Box of Brushes), Archaon, Lord of End Times and Terminator Chaplain. All of them are examples of the style that Slawol is trying to develop - dirty, gritty, and not very cartoony...Szary's female Eldar Farseer seems to be a total opposite of Slawol's style - saturated colors, bright paintjob, sharp detailing. I believe many people will love this kind of painting!Flameon's painting seems to be something between Szary's and Slawol's styles: Check this Theoden and Deathmaster Sniktch out to see what I mean. ;-)Przemo painted this excellent Infinity chick for a painting competition. With this quality of painting his chances should be pretty good.... unless his rivals are well prepared for such opponents!Szczurek also wants to enter the competition, so he chose and painted this Infinity model. Let's wait to see the opponents... But in the meantime you can check this Elf Standard Bearer and Aenur in Szczurek's gallery.One painter who managed to escape our attention is Kacper_gda. To catch up with updates in his gallery, let me mention these models: Slaanesh Champion, the Masque, Juggernaut of Khorne, Be'Lakor, Chaos Marauder Horsemen, and other Chaos Marauder Horsemen, Tigers and Space Wolf Rune Priest.And now something you don't get to see very often: a Dragon painted by Nameless as his entry for Iron Painter. He managed to paint this beast in 2 weeks. Impressiveachievement, isn't it?But that's not all - he also painted Grom da Paunch of Misty Mountain and a Templar Knight from XIII Century, so you still have quite a lot to see. :-)To finish this update, I would like to remind you about the 3rd CofC Miniature Exchange, which is taking place right now. Some of our members already managed to deliver their miniatures to their recipients, so we can see these works in their galleries now. Let's start with Demi_morgana, who painted this model from Scibor Miniatures, then Lemartes with his Cherub, and Gildor with Prince Imrahil.Enjoy browsing! Sun, 24 Jan 2010 16:17:49 -0500 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=366 You surely noticed the site was unavailable for a few days. It happened because of server upgrade, which unfortunately took our hosting company more than we expected.As the title says - it took us over four days to bring the site back online, but here it is, for you to enjoy.Some of you noticed our Facebook and Twitter presence during our website's downtime, which allowed us to keep you informed about the problems we experienced.In case you sent any emails to us, please re-send them, as our mail server was down, too.Thank you for your patience and believe us, it's great to be back! Thu, 07 Jan 2010 23:47:17 -0500 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=365 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 16:46:46 -0500 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=364 Holidays are coming, so I think people will have other things to do than painting miniatures. So before this merry time comes, we'd like to share a few new paintjobs with you.Let's start with the most productive of the painters mentioned today: Demi_morgana. He painted two old (let's call them classic) Games Workshop miniatures: Heinrich Kemmler also known as the Lichemaster and Krell. If you want to see them on a special display base, check this photo of these two Undead Characters together. But Demi_morgana's gallery includes one more new model: the Black Coach made from Dracula's Carriage released by Westwind miniatures.Kacpero shows us a better photo of his Slayer of Daemon finalist: Red Scorpions Librarian in terminator armor. But even more interesting is the other new miniature in his gallery: converted Sigvald the Magnificent. The colors are pretty uncommon for this model, but they were requested by the owner of this model to represent his PRG character.Then we've got Ana and her Limited Edition Sorceress. You will probably wonder why some things were done in a particular way on this model. Let us explain that the sorceress is floating above the ground and her dress is made of crystal fabric. But Ana will surely tell more about it on the forum.And the last miniature in this update is Cersei Lannister painted by Nameless. Yet another step forward in his project. Keep your fingers crossed for him :-)I think it will be difficult to manage to post another update before Christmas, but stay tuned, as we'll be back very soon with something special. Call it a Christmas cracker if you wish ;-) Tue, 22 Dec 2009 17:00:16 -0500 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=363 As we're getting closer to the new year, some of us felt they should refresh their display cabinets and so some of their miniatures became available for those of you who still have some money left and want to place a bid....The fist of these things is Sigvald the Magnificent painted by Illusionrip. If you would like to add this miniature to your collection - this may be a good moment, when other bidders spent their money buying X-mas presents ;-)Then there's something interesting for Beastmen fans: Illusionrip's Beastface the Centigor with a nice scenic lava-themed base.Thrall offers his Standard Bearer of Chaos, which can be an useful addition to many Hordes of Chaos armies, or maybe even display cases?And there are two "second chancers": Gildor's Yoda - now extremely cheap, and Rzymek's Blood Claws for all you Space Wolves players out there.Check our auctions out and good luck with your bids! Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:03:24 -0500 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=362 So we've got the first miniature of our Third Chest of Colors Miniature Exchange! It'd Sir Michael painted by Slawol for Yaro. But that's not the only new paintjob in our galleries!Slawol managed to add two more new miniatures to his gallery: Protectorate of Menoth Choir Acolyte being a part of his project of painting miniatures in style inspired by John Blanche's works, and an Ogre Maneater Paymaster inspired by Beltane's version.Ana painted Sergeant O'Donnel, a nice female military model from Euphoria Miniatures and Nameless presented this Wolf and Red diorama.The last miniature in this update comes from Thrall, who painted this Standard Bearer of Chaos and hopes to give this miniature a new home.Stay tuned for more, because we'll soon have something new in our galleries again! Mon, 14 Dec 2009 23:27:02 -0500 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=361 And here's something for our eBay watchers: While these Space Wolves are still a hot army, you may wish to grab these two packs of Blood Claws and Grey Hunters. If you prefer Daemons of Chaos, you may wish to check this Chaos Demon Prince Be'Lakor out.And if you're not interested in Warhammer, take a look at this Leogante, Wings of Redemption - Andrea, Gollum or Jedi Master Yoda painted by Gildor. And I bet the painters wouldn't mind if you place a bid ;-) Mon, 07 Dec 2009 11:15:17 -0500 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=360 Here we are with another update about news in our galleries. The first thing which will surely catch your attention is (now OOP) Rackham Chimera painted by Illusionrip. Expect to see more of his paintjobs on Rackham models in future. :-)Then there's this converted Heresy Miniatures demon painted as the Devil by Nameless, who also shows us his Morrdha - Vampire Preacher. Artur's gallery now includes photos of his latest Colonel Chenkov, and our other Warhammer 40.000 paintjobs are Rzymek's Blood Claws and Grey Hunters for Space Wolves space marines. Rzymek continues his bigger Bretonnian project, and so he painted this Grail Reliquary for that army. Then we have something very rare: update of Lothar's gallery! This time it's this black version of winged Be'lakor, and another Be'Lakor without wings (as everybody should know red goes faster anyway ;-) ). Then there's a big update to Gildor's gallery - starting with this Wood Elf Lord and Dwarf Lord, including Gollum and Jedi Master Yoda, and ending with his most colorful and probably paintjob best so far - Leogante - Wings of Redemption from Andrea Miniatures.Our delay with this update allowed me to include Ana's version of Miranda from Hasslefree Miniatures. The dress was based on a real dress, and the miniature was a gift to the owner of that dress. There's one more nice female model to be shown soon, but you have to wait for it at least a few days... Mon, 07 Dec 2009 10:53:55 -0500 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=359 We are pleased to inform you about the launch of the first Polish mini-painting event dedicated exclusively to Corvus Belli products from the Infinity range. It is sponsored by the Polish retailer and limited to national entries for now, but watch this space in case they got more ambitious ;-)Forum thread in Polish can be found here.Good luck to all the competitors and hope they share an odd picture or two... Wed, 02 Dec 2009 09:25:41 -0500 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=358 Mini Exchanges are slowly becoming a Chest of Colors tradition. We already had two of these, you can check results of our attempts here and here. We are now preparing for the 3rd Mini Exchange!So, what is the Mini Exchange? Generally speaking, every participant paints a mini for other participant by the set deadline.You are hereby invited to take part in the 3rd Chest of Colors Mini Exchange. Please read the rules thoroughly before you accept it. We will not accept members who registered after posting this notification, sorry! Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:02:17 -0500 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=357 This time we have only a short update about new miniatures. Starting with Ana's fun project called "Peace and Love", inspired by so many things including the "King Rat" book, artistic aspect of Berlin, lack of tolerance, and mentality suffering from war experiences. The model is Rhasva Sentinel from Pegaso Models. Surely not something for everybody, pretty controversial concept and paintjob.Then there's something much more normal for most people, especially Warhammer players: Demi_morgana's version of Krell. Yet another old model from Games Workshop. Call it a classic if you prefer ;-)Nameless prepared many new paintjobs but now we have only three of them in our gallery. The first of them is Shiro, the Akita Inu dog, based on Nameless' real dog. And if you prefer fantasy stuff over miniature animals, you should see this Beastlord called Slaav'bor, and Fil'maar - another Beastlord painted by Nameless.Enjoy! Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:53:46 -0500 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=356 As many of you may alredy know, Games Workshop decided that there would be no Golden Demon in Poland this year. But this didn't discourage Polish painters who came up with the idea of making their own painting contest instead. This year we had the first edition of the Slayer of Daemon painting competition in Warsaw.If you still don't know the winners of the contest, you can check the full list of winners and a collection of Slawol's pictures. Still not the official ones, but we hope that the official photographer doesn't make us wait too long for them! ;-)We hope to meet even more of you at the contest in 2010! Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:09:13 -0500 http://www.cofc.paintboy.com.pl/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=355 Currently we have four auctions running on ebay. All are moderately priced, so you can get something more affordable this time. Starting with the cheapest of them all: Huron Blackheart, followed by a Bretonnian Battle Standard Bearer and Captain Draco of Black Templars, ending with the most expensive (but still very cheap for its value) Orcs & Goblins Army.Check them out, because you don't see such bargains on our eBay auctions very often!

Let's try to keep it short, but there's so much to announce...Dead finally could show us the High Elves he's been painting for a long time: Archers,Swordmasters of Hoeth, Dragon with interchangeable riders, mounted Lord and Battle Standard Bearer, Repeating Bolt Throwers, a mounted Mage, Hero and Battle Standard Bearer on foot, who can also be mounted on Tiranoc Chariots or a Lion Chariot of Chrace.Then there's Rzymek and his: Dwarf Bolt Thrower and Stone Thrower, Lizardmen Skinks and another unit of Skinks, Kroxigor, Saurus Temple Guard and another unit of Saurus Temple Guard, Bretonnian King Louen Leoncoeur, Hero, Battle Standard Bearer, Duke, and an unusual version of the Green Knight painted as a regular Hero.While we're at Bretonnians, let's show this Bretonnian Battle Standard Bearer by Lemartes, which won him an honorable mention at Slayer of Daemon contest. Then we have one more Warhammer Fantasy miniature: Heinrich Kemmler - the Lichemaster by Demi_morgana.Moving on to Warhammer 40k we need to mention Artur's Brother Captain Stern of Grey Knights, and Thrall's version of Huron Blackheart.Then let's move to some stranger things ;-)The strangest thing must be the fact that I managed to finish another miniature! This one took at least 5 years (most of it spent waiting in a drawer, but it also counts) but at least you can see that Mahon is still painting... Here's the proof: a Templar of Day from Reaper Miniatures.Another less popular model is a new miniature from Euphoria Miniatures: Nikolai, the ex-marine painted by Ana and awarded with Bronze trophy at the Slayer of Daemon contest. But it's not the last mini for this update! We finally managed to take acceptable photos of Ana's Chaos Dragon, a Golden Demon finalist from Germany. If you want to see this dragon from other angles, you can see more photos here.Enjoy! Tue, 03 Nov 2009 23:42:43 -0500
