Welcome to Chest of Colors!

We started this batch of updates with elves, and we will end it with... even more elves.

If you want to see what's new in our galleries, be sure to check Kuczek's gallery. There are a few ... no! not elves yet! ... dwarfs. We have King Thorgrim Grudgebearer on Throne of Power, Dwarf King Alrik and Shieldbearers, Dwarf Lord, old version of Gotrek and new version of Gotrek, Felix, Snorri, Dragon Slayer, Daemon Slayer and the White Dwarf. Quite a few, huh? And we still haven't reached the elves...

Irkuck painted some miniatures for gaming, namely some Confrontation stuff: a bunch of Fiannas, Hogarth the Colossus, Kelt Warriors, Fury Warriors and Kelt Hunters. And now we're getting to the elves!

You may have already seen Romek's High Elf Mage, but there are also some other new elves in the Box of Brushes gallery. Rentall's gallery was updated with photos of his Wood Elf Glade Riders and Wood Elf Lord on Great Stag. And that was all about the elves.

Sometimes people are afraid to buy stuff from new and unknown manufacturers. MaxMini may be a new company for some of you, buy they sent us some samples of their products to us, and we checked them out and put our opinion online.

So if you want to know what good MaxMini stuff actually is, check the review of MaxMini products.

As Sunday is coming, it's time to get the attention of our eBay bidders.

This time we're selling two High Elves: Dead's mounted High Elf mage and Romek's High Elf mage. If you feel like trying your luck, there's still one day to place your bids.
Good luck!!

Many weeks ago Illusionrip described a nice way of achieving realistic rust effect. Unfortunately several problems distracted us from posting this tutorial.

But now we finally managed to put it online. Ladies and gentlemen - for your reading pleasure, here it goes: Illusionrip's tutorial about rust! Enjoy!

So you've seen all the new miniatures in our galleries? Fine!

Didn't you want any of them for your own collection? If you want any of them, there are seven of these painted miniatures available on eBay auctions now! There is Dead's Bretonnian Hero on Pegasus, High Elf Hero with axe, and High Elf Mage on Elf Steed. There is Artur's Space Marine or Grey Knight Hero and Champion of Nurgle. There is Irkuck's Space Marines Chaplain and Illusionrip's Puna Deleena. There's no more than a week left for placing your bids, so if you want to try - don't be too slow.

Good luck!

It's been a long time since the last news here. But on the other hand this allowed me to collect enough new miniatures in our galleries for the huge update you are reading now! So witout any unnecessary introductions, let us start with the miniatures!

Illusionrip painted Ultramarines Captain Sicarius. Demi_morgana gave the Big Fat Uncle from Scibor Miniatures another try. Check the results and compare them with the previous version presented earlier in his gallery.

Szary added two very nice characters to his skaven army: Plaguelord Skrolk and a Skaven Warlord. If you check out the whole gallery of his army, you will know what a sight it must be on the tabletop!

Dead seems to be in his 'blue period' (remember the 'red period' in the history of Games Workshop? ), so it's no wonder his High Elf Mounted Mage, High Elf Hero and Bretonnian Hero on Pegasus are painted in various shades of ... blue.

Espoo updated his gallery after his long absence. You can see three Graylords here, but also on two additional photos here and here. But if you're more interested in characters than in troops, you may prefer his version of Irusk.

Slawol has been painting a Vampire Counts army, and so he showed us models from this army: A Necromancer, a unit of Fell Bats, a Banshee, a few Wraiths and Crypt Ghouls. Quite many, don't you think? But there's also another
Dark Elf Assassin painted in tiger-striped color scheme, if you want something else than hordes of undead...

Nameless painted his first bust and sticking to his tradition of giving his models names, he chose the name of Huri Khan for the bust.

DiaCon, formerly a member of the Chest of Colors, doesn't have enough time for the hobby now, so he moved from Chest of Colors to Box of Brushes, where his involvement can be much more relaxed. His gallery was updated with quite a few Privateer Press miniatures, painted mostly for gaming. But this doesn't mean you will not like them. If you want to know, you need to check them out...

And now there's a surprise for you: RIP, our long absent member of Box of Brushes, posted a few miniatures in his characteristic style with very limited palette of colors. The new works are: a Terminator Champion, another Terminator and a Tyranid Hive Tyrant heavily inspired by H.R.Giger's Alien.

For those of you who prefer more colorful works, Demon Color returned with a Sorcerer of Tzeentch. It's good to see anything new from him after such a long break!

Another neat and clean paintjob appeared in Artur's gallery, and it's a Champion of Nurgle from the Warhammer range. If you like Artur's neat and precise style - you should like this paintjob too!

And the last information is that a new painter joined the ranks of Box of Brushes. Rzymek (because that's his nickname) showed us his
Eldar Harlequin Shadowseer, Wood Elf Dragon and Wood Elf Dragon and Treeman on one collage. If you like his works, expect some more in future.

Now I believe you must be fed up with miniatures, so I'll let you get some rest. Take care and I hope to see you soon.

Razza on Chest of Colors? That's true.

Szary 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!

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!

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.

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!
