Iron Wind Metals at Cold Wars 2008

Iron Wind Metals made the trip to Lancaster Pa last weekend for the Cold Wars gaming convention. They had a rack full of miniatures, all of the new lance packs, and buckets of micro fighters.

They were offering a buy three blisters, get one free all weekend long. The micro fighters were also three for a dollar. Nothing but good reasons to get out to any convention Iron Wind Metals is attending.

On display were a selection of miniatures with truly amazing paint jobs. I forgot to get the painters names and will send out an email to find out if I can. I apologize in advance for the atrocious picture quality. I managed to leave my own camera charger at home so I had to borrow a friend’s camera. Suffice to say, his was an older model.

I’m going to go ahead a cry just a little bit tonight thinking of how far I am from producing such gorgeous paint jobs. Seriously though, Iron Wind Metals had a great presence at the con and I am looking forward to seeing them again whenever possible.

    I asked when we were there and he just said that they had them for a while and they were various artists. Still ask, but it might also help to post on the CBT forums and ask the crowd. I wonder if the artists got paid up front, or only if they sell (which would mean the artists would have been known, so probably up front).

  2. Brian Said,

    While gaming at a friends house today I noticed that the Turkina is featured in the Classic BattleTech Miniatures Rule Book (The older legacy one).
