Well, I've never won anything like this before! Christopher aka Axebreaker, of LAF and Sweetwater fame and the incredibly talented painter of Bunker Hill, decided to give one of these (it seems currently very... hip) Liebster awards to this blog, describing it using the kindest words. Thank you, Christopher! I feel deeply honoured to be "holding" this golden man-ish thingy holding a trophy.
Now, we must of course talk about the rules of the Liebster Award, because the warehouses are still full and these awards need to be distributed to talented people!
The rules of the award are:
- "Copy and paste" the award on your blog, and talk about it a bit.
- post a link back to the blogger who gave you the award
- Select for the award your five favourite blogs with less than 200 followers, leaving a comment on one of their post to notify them that they have won the award. You need also to list them in your own blog.
- Enjoy the moment, knowing that you have just made someone's day.
- Of course, there is no obligation to pass the award, but it is a good deed really.
Well for me, my choices are clear (regardless of whether or not they have received the award before):
- RJ Painting - Amazingly talented painter, who sadly photographs his miniatures way to seldom! I absolutely adore his painting style and he's the only painter I've actually bought painted miniatures from.
- The Leutnant's Diary - one of the best blogs around, this talented fella will travel with you from the wild forests of Arthurian Britain to the exotic Manchuria of 1905! Inspirational every time!
- Pro Gloria miniatures - not so much a painting blog, I really like this guy. He's young, he's talented and now he is venturing into the business of producing miniatures... I like the cut of his jib and he deserves this!
- Comes Britanniae - I thought for a while that this guy was gone completely from the scene, then he posted something again in March and now he is gone again. I like his miniatures so much, that I still go through his old posts when I have the time and feel like it! I hope this will motivate him a bit to become more active.
- Conquering the Lead Mountain - not strictly within the rules, but as I am painting Vikings at the moment; damn the rules! :) This guy already has more than 200 followers, but darn it, he is one of the best around! His Roman-themed miniatures are particularly good and true works of art with very well researched backgrounds!
Now, please don't feel offended if I am not mentioning you here... If I am following your blog, trust me, I am reading every new post with joy and admiration!

You deserve the award and I hope more people will now get a chance to see your wonderful ability with a brush!
I agree completely with your blogs to visit and really hope that gent starts to blog again.
Say, the Perry's will be at Tactica at next year! I plan on going and would really like to see you there.

I'll second axebreaker- your blog is always fun, educational and inspirational.
Well done you!
Cheers

Thanks for nominating my blog, Dimi! I've seen this award working its circuit over the last couple of weeks, so it's great to eventually get it myself. :-D
However, I've got a hard time finding blogs not already mentioned, and it fatally reminds me of those old chain letters. Argh!
So, thanks both ways! ;-)

Thanks, guys! :) Very very kind of you!
@Christopher
Oh, I will be there with bells on and I am very very much looking forward to meeting you finally! :) Will you be there for both days?
@SG
I know what you mean! :) That's what happens when you get into the award business quite late. :D And that's why I ignored previous awards. :)
Yes I plan on being there both days.:-)
Christopher
Perfect! We should definitely meet up and perhaps grab a beer or two at some point!
Sounds good!
Christopher
Congrats on some well deserved recognition for a very fine blog! :-)
