IWM Sponsors Manufacturer Award at GenCon 2009
Big news for miniature lovers within the BattleTech faithful. Iron Wind Metals for the first time will be sponsoring a BattleTech Miniature Painting Contest at GenCon this year. Special prizes will be given to first through third best miniatures.
This Makes Sense on So Many Levels
How so? In the machines of war category last year, the top two spots were taken by CamoSpecs artist B1BFlyer. That was an impressive feat at such a prestigious convention. It makes so much sense for Iron Wind Metals to step up to the plate in terms of recognition and stature by making this contest happen. We all know that the CamoSpecs artists and others are fabulous painters. The sculpts produced by IWM are (often) great and in the hands of a skilled painter, BattleTech can not only stand toe to toe with the big boys, but damn near sweep the podium.
Who’s In?
I’m already looking through my collection of blisters for the perfect sculpt to put under the brush in time for the Con. I don’t have high hopes for placing, but that doesn’t matter. It’s all about getting out there and being in front of the masses. BattleTech deserves to be among the very best in Sci-Fi war games in all categories, miniatures and painting included.
