That's true. :-DSzary interviewed Darren Latham, a.k.a. Razza, who is a well known member of the 'Eavy Metal team, whose works are very popular. I must say I was impressed with this exhaustive and interesting text. I believe many of you will enjoy this reading, so if you want to read the first part of our Masters of Miniatures series, check the interview with Razza out! Wed, 3 Sep 2008 22:01:47 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=306 It's time for our eBay announcement, isn't it?This week we've got Artur's Space Marines Terminator Captain and Rentall's intepretation of The Masque.Feel free to place a bid if you like them. :-)Thanks! Mon, 1 Sep 2008 17:45:56 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=305 You want to know why I don't paint? Read this piece of news and you will know. You will surely know...This was a busy week for me and I had to focus on taking photos of miniatures painted by other painters from our group. And these new paintjobs were pretty plentiful!Let's start with Slawol, who posted some new and some older miniatures to his gallery. The biggest of them is surely the Iron Warriors Dreadnought, but if you want something smaller you may prefer Marco Colombo, Space Marines Captain Tycho, or even Bilbo Baggins. And in case you think we don't show enough regimental quality paintjobs, you shouldn't miss his dwarf Troll Slayers. There are 29 of them! Is this enough?You don't think so?So let's move to Dead's paintjobs! This time it's the first batch of miniatures painted for a whole army of High Elves. There's a unit of 21 High Elf Spearmen, one more High Elf Mage, and another big model in this update: a High Elf Chariot. Still not enough? OK...In this case you should visit Kacpero's gallery and see his Emperor's Champion and 5 more Black Templars Sword Brethren: first, second, third, fourth and fifth.Are you satisfied now, after seeing more than 60 new models? Not yet???So I have to show you the last three miniatures of this update. Rentall painted a well known hobbit: Frodo Baggins, and something from the new range of Demons of Chaos: a very special demonette of Slaanesh called The Masque. And check if we saved the best for last: I hope you like Artur's new Space Marines Terminator. I think it's very likely...And to return to our initial question why I don't paint, let me answer you: you should already know. And if you don't, just count the miniatures in this update. I spent so much time preparing this update, that I had no time for painting. But I hope it was worth the effort and you enjoyed it. :-D Mon, 1 Sep 2008 17:02:46 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=304 And for those who wanted to be notified about our new auctions, here we go with information about our new miniature on eBay:Here is the Dark Elf Supreme Sorceress painted by Ana. If anyone wants to buy the model, it's still time to place a bid. Thanks! Tue, 19 Aug 2008 09:23:37 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=303 It seems we have only a small update today. We have only a few new painted miniatures in our galleries, but it doesn't mean they're not worth your attention. ;-)To, to keep it short: there's Ana's Dark Elf Supreme Sorceress and her Death Guard Dreadnought of Nurgle. And in Kacpero's gallery you can see new Black Templars: Apothecary, and three Sword Brethren: first, second and third.As you see - it's only six new miniatures, but hopefully they're worth a look. :-)Enjoy! Tue, 19 Aug 2008 09:16:19 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=302 So what's new?This time it's Ana's converted Demon Prince of Nurgle. She added wings and painted him in the pre-heresy Death Guard color scheme. Yes, that's yet another model for the same army of Death Guard Chaos Space Marines...Szary painted a Standard Bearer for the army of Wood Elves he's been painting for a while already. Another standard and another fine freehand painting depicting just another animal!There's also a unit of Swordmasters for High Elves and a mounted Bishop.Now that's an interesting conversion and paintjob! :-)And if you want something really different, we've got something for you. It doesn't happen very often that anyone of us paints an Ork, and it doesn't happen that Eliash posts an update to his gallery. But both of these things actually happened and I am happy to present a nice Ork Warboss mounted on a bike, and two Painboys with gretchin assistants: here's the first painboy, the other painboy is here. We hope you like them.Soon we'll have something more for you to see, but I guess it won't be ready before the weekend. ;-) Sat, 9 Aug 2008 09:18:25 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=301 This time we've got only two new painted miniatures in our gallery, but I hope they're worth your attention.The first of them was painted by Ana. It's a pretty old miniature from Warhammer Wood Elves range, and it's their queen - Ariel. Ana said she really enjoyed painting this model, painting it as an eerie and ethereal, almost glowing creature. We hope you'll like her.The other model is from Illusionrip. It's his version of Space Marines Veteran Sergeant Aurelius. He had to stick to the Codex Astartes while painting this model, but this resulted in a true Ultramarine. Check the results out. :-)Ah, there will be more updates to the gallery soon. Very soon. So stay tuned! Mon, 28 Jul 2008 10:52:55 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=300 And now for the auctions...What we've got here this time is: Irkuck's reworked Space Marines Chaplain, Artur's Tir-Na-Bor Thermo Warrior, Dead's High Elf Mage, Romek's Dark Elf Reaper Bolt Thrower, and Ana's Taxxis.If you're interested in any of them - we'll be happy to get your bids :) Thanks in advance! Mon, 21 Jul 2008 08:48:21 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=299 We're trying to continue with our tradition of Monday news. Here's what's new in our galleries:So let's start with Slawol, who painted a group of Grave Guard for Warhammer and Frodo Baggins from Lord of the Rings range.Dead painted one "fast" tabletop paintjob: a Harpy for his brother's army and a High Elf Mage with a really nice freehand on the back of his cape.Irkuck changed his earlier Space Marines Chaplain into Chaplain redux. I think the new base doesn't distract from the model as much as the previous one did...Szary painted quite a few Wood Elves, including a unit of Glade Riders (tabletop quality again? no way...) and a Wardancer Hero.Artur painted a cartoonish Tir-Na-Bor Thermo Warrior from Confrontation, Typhus - the Herald of Nurgle for Warhammer 40K, and a Space Marine with meltagun - nice and weathered!Romek returned with a Dark Elf Reaper Bolt Thrower. Quite an interesting color scheme for Dark Elves, don't you think? And last but not least, Ana painted another combat suit for Tau: this time it's XV-89 Crisis Battlesuit, and another version of Taxxis - the queen of undead. Some exposed skin and a little pretty female miniature here, so if you mind a little nudity, better avoid this one! ;)Enjoy! Mon, 21 Jul 2008 08:42:31 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=298 Even though it's slightly later than usually, we still have the update for you: a few new miniatures in our galleries!First there's Ana's Tau XV84 Crisis Battlesuit, painted in a pretty unusual (for Tau) colorscheme and covered with quite severe weathering. It's the first Tau painted by her and there's another one to join him in the gallery soon!Then there's Elvers with his Kasrkin Sergeant and Familiar. Unfortunately the pictures are very small, but maybe you want to see them anyway? :-)And finally, Nameless uploaded two new pictures to his gallery. One of them is Reaper's Christmas Sophie and... prepare for a surprise.... a unit of Savage Orc Boar Riders painted as many as 10 or 15 years ago. Nice surprise, don't you think? With this nostalgic photo we're saying: another update is coming! ;-) Wed, 9 Jul 2008 15:18:13 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=297 You probably know about the problems with Taxxis... eBay staff considered her unsuitable for the Miniatures category on eBay and removed the listing. So we prepared another version of the auction and relisted her with one more miniature.So there they go: CENSORED Taxxis with Deth by Ana and Slawol's Kurt Helborg. Good luck bidders! :-D Mon, 30 Jun 2008 09:56:13 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=296 Hi all,There's just one new miniature in our gallery, but I believe it's worth checking out. Especially if you like Space Marines, you should like Szary's new paintjob. It's the miniature he's been painting for quite a long time, but I hope it was worth the effort. I will leave the judgement up to you though!So all I have to do now is to introduce Lord Marneus Calgar of Ultramarines to you! In Szary's gallery for your viewing pleasure! Mon, 30 Jun 2008 09:41:01 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=295 Hi all,I just wanted to let you know that eBay removed our auction for Ana's Taxxis - queen of undead. Their reason is that it violated their Mature Content policy. Because they consider miniatures displaying frontal nudity (not even full) to be something for adults only, they decided to remove the listing.We'll be re-listing the auction at the usual time (which is in about a day), with some kind of "censored" label. So, anybody interested in this miniature - stay tuned! Sat, 28 Jun 2008 14:29:32 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=294 We're trying to enter every new week with a few new eBay auctions. I was lucky to succeed with it again...So this time we're selling: Artur's Space Marines Hero, Illusionrip's Puna Deleena - female elf, and Ana's Taxxis - queen of undead with her troll Deth. If you want to try your luck - just check the auctions out :-) Mon, 23 Jun 2008 00:29:44 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=293 Hello all,Today I've got a few new models to show you. And believe me, as soon as I cope with photos there will be more! I think let's start with our new painter's miniature: Artur painted another weathered Space Marines Hero, and I think the model turned out pretty nice!Illusionrip painted a beautiful lady sculpted by Tom Meier for Dark Sword Miniatures: Puna Deleena. Admirers of Mr. Meier's talent should check this model out!And while we're at pretty ladies there's even more: Ana painted a Hasslefree Miniature again. This time it's Taxxis - queen of undead with her troll Deth. Calling this lady nude would be more accurate than calling her dressed. But I think I'll leave it up to you.And the last miniature this time comes from Nameless, who made significant progress in his painting abilities, and painted this sweet goblin lady called Wazabi. She was his entry for Chick Challenge 2008, and we'll see if it was a lucky entry. But for now let us leave you guessing... Mon, 23 Jun 2008 00:23:07 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=292 Come on, guys! Do you really want to miss it?This may be the last chance of getting such cheap miniatures from us! ;-)Przemosz. is selling some miniatures he doesn't need and the eBay auctions are ending tomorrow. Take a look, maybe you want any of these models? Sat, 21 Jun 2008 12:15:07 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=291 I would like to apologize for our absence. Our website was disabled for the time of upgrades done to some of the site's components and the server. We didn't want to risk loss of data, so the site was switched off for some time. Now we're back and hopefully you will like the updates to our galleries...Let's start with Irkuck who painted the new High Elf Mage. But the most surprising part of this update is the new member of Box of Brushes. His name is Artur and you can see his works here. He's got quite a few interesting works in his gallery: a Plague Marine and a Grey Knight from Warhammer 40K, an Armoured Zombie and Tan-Kair from Confrontation, and Pi-Well from Infinity.Now what do you think about his style? :-) Sun, 8 Jun 2008 22:46:21 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=290 This time there's just one new miniature in our gallery. Of course, more will come soon, but for now we can only show this one model to you. But we believe it's still worth checking out! What's this?Well, Ana managed to finish her Space Marines Commander Culln from Forge World. This particular model's casting quality was so bad, that she had much work making the model look neater and tidier. Fortunately the model was supposed to be painted with pretty heavy weathering, which allowed to conceal some problems of the casting. Take a peek at the model, we hope you will like it. :-D Thu, 5 Jun 2008 12:04:25 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=289 New auctions... We have a few for you. :-)Przemosz. continues with his quest for getting rid of unnecessary models, and thus you can bid on his Aspiring Champion of Chaos Space Marines, Jotun the Cyber-Zombie, and a Chaos Sorcerer. But if you would rather buy some High Elves, we're selling Dead's High Elf MageGood luck, bidders! Thu, 5 Jun 2008 12:02:53 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=288 I had several miniatures from our painters waiting on my shelf for a photo session, but had no time to take photographs which would do them justice. So as soon as the weekend came I decided to take and upload as many photos as possible. Even though there are still a few miniatures waiting in the queue, there's a nice collection of new paintjobs for you to see:Dead continues with his High Elves. This time you can see his High Elf Mage. If you like High Elves, you should stay tuned for more!Kacpero shows the first miniatures from the small Black Templars force he's painting. This time it's a Chaplain and a squad of Neophytes. There will be more of them, as I've already seen some WIP pictures.Przemosz.'s gallery was updated with a few new pictures, including a Chaos Space Marines Aspiring Champion, Chaos Sorcerer from GameZone, and Jotun - Cyber Zombie from Hasslefree Miniatures. Some of these miniatures will be sold on eBay, so keep checking our auctions to avoid missing them... ;-) Sun, 1 Jun 2008 22:16:42 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=286 Hi all,We're a bit late with this week's update, but it didn't mean it wouldn't come...It was a busy time for us here, and posting this update dropped a little lower on our priority list this time, so maybe some of you managed to find the new miniatures by yourselves. But if you hadn't, here they go:Illusionrip's gallery was updated with his Golden Demon winnning Tyranid Hive Tyrant, which won him silver in France this year. You can't miss this paintjob, even if you've seem other pictures of this model, the quality is surely better here!Szary updated his Skaven gallery with so many new pictures of really nice miniatures from his own army, that it would make little sense to list them all here. If you would like to see Szary's Skaven army, just visit this gallery.Benathai continued with Adeptus Custodes, but this time he started the last unit: Assault Custodians. Check them out!Przemosz. posted a new picture of his Bane Goliaths from the AT-43 range, and a Herald of Khorne (or simply a Bonecrusher of Khorne). There will be more updates in Przemosz.'s galleries to come as soon as I manage to take photos of them!Irkuck posted another white chaplain. This time it's a Space Marines Chaplain on Jump Pack. Pretty nice miniature, especially in this uncommon color scheme!Demi_morgana presents us a Zombie bust from Scibor Monstrous Miniatures. What do you think about Demi_morgana's painting in this scale?We'll close this update with Nameless' three new submissions: Chef from Black Scorpion Miniatures, and two Reaper miniatures: Lurien the Ghost and Nivar the Wraith. The Chef is my favorite of the three, but it doesn't mean it has to be yours too... Fri, 23 May 2008 07:34:36 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=285 Hi all!After dealing with some technical issues I found enough time to post some new photos to our galleries. Let me start with Kacpero's Golden Demon entry - Arwen. It's quite a popular miniature, which doesn't surprise me too much, and now Kacpero wanted to paint his own version...Ana painted another (and hopefully the last for some time) Ogre Rhinox Rider. This time the original model from Forgeworld was converted into a drummer. To make things a little more interesting, he was seated on a cow skin and ... well, check the gallery to see the other details ;-)And Przemosz. continues with Khorne Berzerkers, this time adding an Aspiring Champion for them. Dirty and weathered, this model may not be everybody's cup of tea, but I believe many may like it a lot :-) But that's not the only new thing from him - he also painted Samael from Helldorado range. I think it's his first Helldorado miniature, so you may wish to check it out...And if you want to see even more - you should check Demi_morgana's three new Leman Russ tanks in his Warhammer 40K gallery.And to finish this update, let me mention Slawol's Vampire Counts Lord.See you the next time! :-D Thu, 15 May 2008 13:15:29 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=283 And for all of you interested in our auctions, we have something new!Dead decided to sell his multi-part High Elf Dragon with interchangeable riders and heads. But there's more, as Przemosz. is selling something interesting for Chaos and Necrons players: Deceiver, that can easily stand for a Demon Prince, and a Raptor Aspiring Champion. He also sells one of his gladiatorial arenas and two gladiators, painted as a ready-to-use set for games of Red Sand Blue Sky.And last but not least, there's Illusionrip's Lunar Wolves Hero for all the Space Marines fans! Such a piece should not go unnoticed! Mon, 14 Apr 2008 08:14:27 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=282 Hi all,The last weekend was a weekend of success and failure for me. I managed to fail to achieve my goal of finishing a Golden Demon entry, so I won't have anything to present at GD France 2008. On the other hand I managed to take a few photos of miniatures painted by my team-mates! So let's move to more joyful things now ;-)Dead finished his big project of painting a High Elf Dragon. The thing is even more interesting as he included an extra head and two extra riders, and made them interchangeable, so that the dragon can be easily customized! And there's something more in his gallery, which can be interesting for all the Vampire Counts fans out there: Vlad von Carstein (the new version).I posted pictures of Przemosz.'s gladiators for the Red Sand Blue Sky game. There are two gladiators painted for his own use, and two painted for sale. And they all come with playable arenas! :-)Slawol painted a Dark Elf Assassin., which was supposed to be a copy of Ija's version. Did he succeed? Well check the miniature out and decide by yourselves... Mon, 14 Apr 2008 08:02:49 +0200 http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=281 Weekends are usually the time when I take photos of the new miniatures. This was one busy weekend, which resulted in a lot of new additions to our galleries.The heroine of today's update is without any doubt Kuczek. She managed to add 9 (yes, nine!) new paintjobs to her gallery. Seven of them are... well... stunties, dwarves, dwarfs - whatever you feel like calling them :-) Here is a Dwarf Lord, a Dwarf Standard Bearer, and yet another Dwarf Standard Bearer, or for a change a Dwarf Engineer, and another Dwarf Lord, yet another Dwarf Lord, and the last Dwarf Lord. All they're missing is Snow-white to accompany them. But if you pay enough attention to Kuczek's gallery you may find two ladies there, so maybe one of them is Snow-white in disguise? No, I don't think so. They look much more like a Succubus and a Wraith. But they're nice, nonetheless :-)Then there was Slawol with his Kurt Helborg. The paintjob was supposed to look like the official paintjob of the Games Workshop's version, and I think he managed to achieve this task pretty well.I finally re-took photos of Illusionrip's Lunar Wolf. I already took pictures of him once, but they were terribly grainy due to too high ISO setting. This taught me to double-check settings of my camera before taking any photos to avoid repeating the same job over and over again...And just because we started with a nice group of short men, let's finish this update with anothe nice and friendly bunch - this time it will be a group of Berzerkers of Khorne by Przemosz. They may not be stellar paintjobs, but they were supposed to be tabletop quality paintjobs, and I believe they are at least satisfactory! One has to like this dirt and verdigris all over them, and the nice bases they have.Have a nice day! Mon, 31 Mar 2008 12:44:27 +0200
