Tutorial

Meet The WAMPER

Review

2011, man it doesn’t seem 5 minutes since we were all waiting for that bug to make all our

computers and alarm clocks go funny and we dreamn’t of lying cars and laser weapons.

Funny how future plans don’t always materialize as we expect. New year always brings about

a natural desire to plan for the coming year and its no diferent for us mini painters is it.

Suddenly Salute is not that far away, we start planning our 8 entries for Golden Demon that

will in the end become just one entry as we scrabble to get it inished when we realise its only

4 weeks away and we haven’t even started yet!

For Wamp its a pretty big year coming up - last year was spent really establishing ourselves in

the community, starting to move away from a small niche site into something mainstream.

Sure, we aint no cmon or warseer in terms of size but there’s plenty of people joining up so

we must be doing something right!

Latest Releases

We have some irsts for us this year, the Wamped! contest which I’m sure you all know about

already and we also have our irst ‘real life’ event coming up in June Wamp 2011 (I know,

imaginative names aint they!). People have been asking for our own event for ages now

so I inally bit the bullet. Why I decided to arrange it 2 weeks after my next child is due I

don’t know, guess I’m a glutton for punishment! I’m currently giving the site a long awaited

update, ixing those little niggly things that annoy you but you never get around to ixing.

Once that’s out the way I will be arranging the full details of Wamp2011 and of course

letting you all know.

around to arranging the Sponsored contests for the year yet!

Welcome to issue 6 of , and a heartfelt Happy New

Year my fellow er’s. I hope you all had a good break

over the festive season and have lots of shiny new things to

put paint on.

Phew! We dodged a bullet on this issue... Last Sunday I

was beginning to panic because I was really struggling to ill

this issue, what with the holidays and people too stuffed with

turkey and Christmas Pudding to make it to their computers

and post on but, thanks to you guys we managed to

ill ‘er up and IMO we’ve made a great issue to kick off 2011,

so hats off to you guys, you make this what it is  .

In this issue we have the man who isn’t Dave in MEET THE

WAMPER and a brilliant start to Iactons Paint Master series.

We have other tutorials from exilesjjb and War Griffon plus

some fantastic latest release’s along with a packed gallery.

We hope you like it. 

The Pheonix

Rises Again

S&D Models have aquired the rights to produce the long

OOP Phoenix Model Developments miniature lines. These

include ECW, Vikings and a Fantasy range.

Hello dear Hobbyfriends,

Do you know those weeks were you can’t collect too

much energy to put it in a miniature? Those days were

you still grab your brush and bring some colour on a

model that doesn’t come from the heart? Need a break

but still don’t want to miss the hobby stuff while the day

pass by? Here comes your chance - something completly

different from the usual miniature related stuff, but with an

assured massive fun factor.

The models they have produced so far are currently stocked

by FORTY-THIRD LIMITED who say this on their site.

We provide our customers with an efficient mail-order service

for genuine “Phoenix” lead-free pewter scale miniatures.

Available for sale is an expanding range of products for

collectors and hobbyists manufactured by S & D Models.

Following the recent acquisition of the Phoenix 54mm, 75mm

and G-scale model ranges by S & D Models, we currently

have exclusivity over the range of Phoenix 54mm models

which we will continue to update on this website as the range

is brought back to full production.

For further information, details, rules and prizes check

out this link: HERE

We are looking forward to your creation!

Your Massive Voodoo Team

We are not currently offering a painted igure service but we

have shown a few for illustrutive purposes albeit the lead-

free pewter items may be assembled (if applicable), polished

and displayed in thier own right. Note the exquisite level of

detail and deinition of these pewter sculptures; these are

testament to the skill and mastery of Tim Richards, one of the

most highly respected sculptors of this genre.

If you would like to get in contact with us, please e-mail your

enquiry to: enquiries@forty-third.co.uk

News

The Prophets of Wamp is aimed to help build

Wamp’s reputation by attending shows around the

world and spreading the joy of Wamp!

The idea is simple: We will build up a network of

Wamper’s that attend shows with official Wamp

display showcasing some of the work of our mem-

bers as well as advertising some of the benefits of

the site as well as Portal and Minipaintingwiki.com

The network will be overseen by Martyn

(Wargriffon) and myself (to a lesser extent) who

will help with logistics of attending shows.

Below Martyn (cheeky!) will be regional coordina-

tors that will cover a geographical location. These

coordinators will be in charge of attending specific

shows as well as providing information on local

shows, things to know,etc. They will also be in

charge of the display material for that region.

Coordinators will generally be able to commit to

several shows in their region throughout the year

though attendance to any of these things are of

course voluntary!

Below coordinators will be volunteers that wish to

help out or display their works when they are able.

This is a purely voluntary arrangement, though I’m

hoping to get some sort of reward in place for those

that help out!

Now this scheme isn’t just limited to the uk, Wamp

is an international site and I would love for us to be

able to attend shows across the globe, so if your not

in the UK your still welcomed!!

So if your interested in helping out or even better

be a coordinator then let me know!

Thanks, Brett

It’s inally here! Wamp’s very own event will be taking place this year at

Maelstrom Games in Mansield, UK on Saturday 4th June 2011

The event will be focused around our irst ‘real life’ painting contest with some great prizes and

trophies up for grabs!

Judging will be performed by several high class UK based painters a nd

renowned judges. More details will be announced in the New Year.

I really hope you can support the event and help make it a success!

Thanks, Brett.
