lol...had he only sculpted it in fimo just like his other models... ;)

but seriously...his sculpt is on par with most of the rackham models - it just shows us that they (GW less so I must say...) just hold painting competitions to raise their sales rate and not because they like creativity :D

EDIT: my bad, didnt see it was green fimo

white fimo is not the best because you cant see details clearly, the bright light that white color has blinds you. at least that is what happens to me.

Alan C is simply a true artist in every way. love his stuff.

I dont think it's about the individual judges...its more about the company's policy here...

but another deep story came back to the surface of water.....allan had sculpted a lot of mini for ilyad and ilyad had been in court between rackham...the reason: ilyad had began to use the concept of wolfen, who is a trade mark of rackham......that's it too the marvellous world of our mini :D

Concept of Wolfen huh?! The background or the visual images? 'Cause Imho the Wolfen are shaped out of the images/concept of Werewolves... (which have ofcourse been around a lot longer than Rackham's Wolfen!)

Sounds like a good company going down the dark road of GW :shock: . It should be about the hobby not what line of miniatures are being used we need more contest that promote the hobby :?
