Summer 09 Online Painting Contest

Posted on 06-30-09

We've kicked off our Summer '09 Online Painting Contest in our forum! We picked two themes for this contest (because we couldn't settle on just one):
Ain't No Cure for the Summertime Blues and Born on the Fourth of July

You don't have to follow the theme, but it helps. For all the rules and guidelines, as well as the place to post your entries, click over here to the forum contest thread.

Good luck!

54mm Finari Going on Sale June 29th

Posted on 06-18-09

We're pleased to show off this beautiful rendition of our newest Master Series Miniature, Finari (30011). At Reaper Con, world renowned painter and modeler Jeremie Bonamant Teboul lavished days of attention onto this beautiful miniature, sculpted by fan favorite sculptor Werner Klocke. The end result, as you can see, is stunning! And to spice up the base a bit, Jeremie cut the head off of our Cinder model (10014) to make it look like Finari has just dispatched a horrible dragon! Sorry, dragon head not included. :)

This miniature will be available on Monday, June 29!

ReaperCon 09 Painting Contest Gallery Online

Posted on 06-16-09

It took me a little while to get it all situated and organized, but I have the ReaperCon 09 Painting Contest online.

It defaults to the Reaper winners -- Best in Show, Sophie Trophy Winners -- but you'll find categories for the medalists on the right-hand side of the page. You'll also find a link to display all 211 of our entrants, but be warned: that'll take a little while to load on slow internet connections.

Thanks for your patience.

Oh! If you find a problem with one of your entries, please email me.

New Craft Article: Sci-Fi Terrain part 1

Posted on 06-10-09

Painting is half the game here. You also want your figure to look like they have a place where they belong. A lot of text has been written about presentation of fantasy figures, but Daivid Ewen has given us an excellent first part to using found objects to create evocative Sci-Fi terrain.
