The NOCF: Gamers Uniting for Good

The Nova Open Charitable Foundation (NOCF) is a beacon of hope in the gaming community. They rally the compassionate force of gamers worldwide to support various humanitarian causes. Since its establishment in 2013, NOCF has been instrumental in raising funds through the artistry of miniature painting, turning painting miniatures into a form of philanthropy.

A Crew of Gobs Pirates: Painted for Purpose

Several painters from our team, including: Ańa, Benathai, Kacpero, Luke, Marta, Bart, Sadziu, Thymos.Theos, and Tosuto, has joined forces to bring color and life to the Gobs Pirates. Each miniature, from the cunning captain Hook to the lowliest deck-hand, has been individually interpreted by their painter. This infused each character with personality and flair.

A Treasure Trove of Talent

The contributing artists have poured their passion into every brushstroke. They ensured that these Gobs Pirates are not just miniatures but vibrant characters with stories to tell. The attention to detail is clear in how each artist gave an individual personality to each crew member. And their painting reflects it!

Most of us would imagine a troll as a guardian of a bridge. But Ańa‘s diorama puts a troll next to a waterfall. Maybe it’s not a troll but a cyclops, or maybe a cyclopean troll?

If you want to feel the atmosphere of the scene, why don’t you read on?

Troll at a waterfall – The story behind the diorama

In the shadow of the moonlit waterfall, a hulking troll chews the remains of a guard. Its yellow, reptilian eye darting about with feral caution. The clinking of chains mingles with the sound of rushing water — a stark reminder of the creature’s recent escape from captivity. Its hide, a patchwork of fresh wounds and the remnants of broken weapons, tells a tale of a fierce struggle for freedom.

The troll, now free but wary, seeks solace by the waterfall’s base, the rhythmic cascade providing a semblance of peace. As it tears into its unintended meal, there’s a palpable tension in its movements—a mix of fear and the instinct to survive. The night, usually silent and still, is alive with the troll’s heavy breaths and the wet sounds of its feast. It is a moment of respite, however fleeting, for a creature thrust back into the wilds, its single eye ever watchful for the next threat.

So the scene is built around the Blind Cyclops model by Alvaro Ribeiro, and it was created by Ańa in 2020. The creature was painted in the colors commonly used on Stone Trolls from Warhammer.

The rest of the story is told by the diorama – the waterfall, the moonlight, the whole ambience.

The miniature was created for Ańa’s private collection, but if somebody offers a good price, we may actually arrange a deal.

The Triumph of Saint Katherine stands as a beacon of the Emperor’s light. A testament to the unyielding spirit of the Adepta Sororitas. Painted by the skilled hands of Kacpero, this model is a display-quality masterpiece. It captures the essence of the Order of the Bloody Rose and the fiery heart of Saint Katherine herself.

The Shield Bearer’s legacy

Saint Katherine’s legacy is immortalized in the painted Triumph of Saint Katherine. Her story of martyrdom and protection echoing through the ages. Kacpero’s rendition pays homage to her role as the “Shield Bearer,” with each detail reflecting her indomitable spirit.

The Triumph: A procession with a night sky motif

The Triumph of Saint Katherine is more than a model. It’s a procession of faith, carrying the spirits of the Adepta Sororitas’ Matriarchs. The night sky motif, a recurring theme in Kacpero’s work for this army, adds a mystical depth, symbolizing the vastness of the Emperor’s domain.

Other models from this army

If you like this interpretation of the Triumph of Saint Katherine, you may also want to see other models painted by Kacpero for the same Order of the Bloody Rose army: Saint Celestine and Morvenn Vahl. Take a look at his gallery and you will find many other painted miniatures there.

Iron Maiden has to be one of the most legendary metal bands of all time. Their mascot Eddie is so recognizable that you might even call him iconic.
It should come as no surprise that Eddie has finally lived to see his figurine incarnation. And not just one, but many, which you can see now in the painted Iron Maiden Character Pack #1.

CoolMiniOrNot (or CMON) has released a set of miniatures depicting the Iron Maiden mascot, Eddie, which can be used in various figurine board games.
Our artist Thymos.Theos had the opportunity show us the entire painted Iron Maiden Character Pack #1, which consisted of 6 figures. Each miniature corresponds to an album cover or theme from the band’s discography.

So you want to see the whole painted Iron Maiden Character Pack #1?

Here is what the pack included:

Samurai Eddie (Senjutsu)

Inspired by the band’s latest album, “Senjutsu,” this miniature embodies the samurai theme.

Pharaoh Eddie (Powerslave)

Based on the “Powerslave” album cover, this miniature channels ancient Egyptian imagery.

Reaper Eddie (Dance of Death)

The “Dance of Death” album cover inspires this eerie and spectral miniature.

Trooper Eddie (The Trooper)

A tribute to the classic Iron Maiden song “The Trooper,” this miniature dons military attire.

Cyborg Eddie (Somewhere in Time)

This futuristic cyborg figure from the “Somewhere in Time” album completes the set.

Undead Eddie (Live After Death)

This miniature represents the iconic album cover from “Live After Death.”

These figures not only add a heavy metal flair to the Zombicide games. They also introduce unique gameplay mechanics inspired by Iron Maiden songs and lyrics.
