Gorgon – The Prelude It’s been with great expectation, that we have been waiting for Aradia’s The Divine Comedy kickstarter. I only ordered Gorgon and Charon, so delivery was quite fast and without problems. When first I read about the kickstarter themed on the Divine Comedy, I fell in love with the idea. It is classical literature, art and one hell of a fantasy journey for Dante under the guidance of the roman poet Virgil. He went through Hell and purgatory and lastly to Paradise. It is as well a journey of the Christian mind through these dimensions. Visions of

But that doesn’t mean we haven’t also been working on a variety of painting projects! Here’s a look at some of the pieces we’ve got on our worktables.

Fade – the PRELUDE Rico Chia the creator of Mirico showed me some time before the official release, some sneak peaks of Fade and I was instantly hooked. Fade arrived in what can only be considered a high end packaging, matte black sturdy box, a Mirico sticker to the lid, with a ribbon and bow sealing the box shut.

We also have a Limited Run Certificate of Authenticity, with genuine wax seal along with two small Art cards plus two stickers (red

Atlantis Miniatures – the PRELUDE Atlantis Miniatures came to attention back in 2016 on the back of a successful Kickstarter campaign to release their first run of Trolls, Orcs, Goblins and Monsters.

Yet here we are in 2017, with new figures being cast, a new campaign on the

These are 1/12 in scale so should prove quicker to paint up, the first consisted of three parts, the second with four, but both
