Renegade Goblin Freedom Fighter Inspiration.

In the hopes that Fearless Leader Mordheimer will take this link & put up the photos....cianty showed me the UBERCOOL diorama from CMoN:

See the LARGE picture in this link!

Cool, huh?!

After some minor research, this is the work of the Spanish MULTI-Golden Daemon winner, Enrique "emuse" Velasco Sanchez. This diorama took him over 250 HOURS of actual work... and it shows. He scratch built the bus (from wood) as well as the scenery as his entry for the 2010 Golden Demon Madrid competition... in his own words...

Quote :

Tengo que señalar que por decisiones comerciales de Games Workshop, el jurado decidió que no debía pasar ni siquiera el primer corte, donde se deciden los cinco finalistas que optarán a estatuilla. La explicación dada es que en el universo de Warhammer 40000 no existen los school bus.

WHAT A PILE OF #^$*@#%!!! If true (and I wouldn't be amazed) someone at GW needs to be SHOT!

See more of his amazing work on his blog, http://emusestudio.blogspot.com. It is Spanish, but his work goes beyond languages!!!

That does, indeed, SUCK deceased canine genitalia...G.W. has become a pond: i.e., the scum has risen to the top.

Blue Moon's Highways & Byways series of 30s style vehicles would to my twisted mind make some VERY COOL Goblin style vehicles...just the thing to send G.W. into the DEEP PURPLE HORRORS. My favorite of the H/Bs:


Thanks for working your photographic magic & supplying the background info, Mord.

HAHHA!!! I can se Da Boss sitting in his rocking-chair... firing some Dakka! Probably saying stuff about the good old times.

I agree that GW made a HUGE mistake with Enrique's entry. It is scratch built and uses GW minis. Comercially it showcases how far you can take a $15 package of Gretchins. The fact that there are no school-buses in Spain and the guy had to research the concept (as a matter of fact, he kept refering to the bus as 'school bus' in Spanish, instead of using the proper term 'Autobus Escolar'... we use them in Puerto Rico and other places in Latin America) elevates the work even higher. GW's move is a step-backwards into promoting creativity.

No school buses in the 40k UNIVERSE... a place where daily causalties of war are measured in the BILLIONS, in which MILLIONS of worlds go from Feudal, to pre-industrial, to post-industrial, to utopian to post-apocalyptic... there is not ONE vehicle that resembles a school bus? What do they expect the man to do? something like...


I remember when the Golden Demon used to be about giving the 'normal joe' a platform to showcase his new found talents in building, converting and painting. Creativity and skill was rewarded. I'm not in favor of terrorism... but there are a few cubicles in Spain that deserve to have some special rewiring.

Next time, I will suggest for Enrique to do something like the pic below, but with a Rhino Transport.



DeafNala: No prob Boss... thank YOU for the wonderful find!

i cannot beleive he didn't win....GW sucks

The thing is if the guy had used a normal battle wagon or trukk and painted it yellow it would have probably passed the ridiculous rule that GW have imposed and won (but not been anywhere near as creative a piece of work as this clearly is).

GW just need to get over themselves sometimes (like this)
