Hi all,


Here are some pictures of my entry for the diorama category in this year's Golden Demon. With this piece I really tried to escape from the the classic 'people fighting and blood everywhere' type of Games Workshop diorama. Whilst I feel that this certainly has it's place and can capture atmosphere and action very well, I wanted to experiment with something different. Whilst we do paint mainly military-based figures, the conflict in this piece I hoped would come from the fight that was *about* to happen. The skink chief is charging off and one of them firing a dart, but against an unseen enemy. It is a fight without taking the focus off the activity the unit is engaged in at that point in time.

I also tried to use the thinness of the diorama, the rising banks of the river and the trees on either side to focus the attention on the action of crossing the river. Suffice to say I won't be tackling something with this much resin for a long time, urgh!
