reports from the final California Gen Con...
Today is Thanksgiving in the U.S., and on the subject of being thankful... well, I'm glad I won this eBay auction!
This model is Wyrd Miniatures' Baby Kade, with a lot of special attention from Skaven Babe at Twisted Miniatures Painting Service (also on eBay as wankersworkshop).
The story behind this mini-diorama is that Wyrd Miniatures ran a contest not long ago called Something Wyrd. You had to use one of their figures. Skaven Babe chose their Baby Kade figure, and put him in a little scene where he is about to do more damage to his playthings:
He has his alphabet book (he's on the letter H for Hang). He has the head of his sister's baby doll - one eye missing. He has the head of his last beloved bear (the purple one he's hauling around is its replacement). His diaper needs a change, and his nose needs wiping. And as you can see by his expression, he's quite happy.
Skaven Babe painted him in Reaper Master Series and Vallejo paints, then sprayed him with several layers of gloss and matte sealant for protection.
