Last Minute GenCon Entry

[Pop goes the world]

Here is my final GenCon entry for the Privateer Painting Competition Diorama category, finished as of 11:45 PM this evening. Last year I finished my winning entry hours before I left. I have almost a whole night before I leave this time!

I call it, "All Quiet on the Northern Front"





The scene depicts two Cygnar trenchers awaiting an assault on the northern Cygnarian border. The standing trencher checking his pocket watch is a 100% original sculpt, whilst the sitting trencher is partially from the Trencher Chain Gun crew, with a sculpted face. The chain gun is taken from the same kit, but uses the Dire Troll Blitzer gun (which is supposed to be an older version of the chain gun). The woodwork is all sheet styrene, and the mud is celluclay. I made the barbed wire myself, and yes, it works quite well on my bloodied fingers. The propaganda poster depicts Cygnar Warcaster Sebastian Nemo in a fashion similar to the WWI british Lord Kitchener poster.

The big thing is that I did almost all of this in only one week. Ask Rios- he saw it in all of it's unfinished glory last Tuesday.

Wish me luck. I embark tomorrow.

Good luck, although we all know you're going to take names and kick ass down there like it's business as usual!

[Andrew]

Good luck indeed. I think that poster will push it into a winners bracket.

Amazing. The 100% sculpt is amazing.

I also like the Khador kills marked on the back of the guns plate. Nice touch.
