I am really glad to announce that Marc Iglesias has joined AoW as an in-house full time sculptor!

Not only that, but even more important, Marc is the first AoW in-house trained sculptor.
Marc contacted us about one year ago showing some excellent conversions from his personal collection. I really liked his stuff, so we agreed on him starting as part time trainee sculptor, mainly to perfectly adpat his scultping style to AoW's.

Well, Marc has just finished the training period and is now working full time for us and sculpting his first "to be released" AoW miniature! You can see it in the pic below. I really hope you like how it's shaping, and I think you'll agree he has captured very well the AoW style!

This is really exciting for a small company as AoW!
We all hope to see a lot of cool sculptures from Marc! Welcome aboard! :welc:

I have already wellcome Marc in the Spanish forum, but again, "Wellcome, seem to be a great new member of this family"

This looks very good! Seriously, really good.

Aren't you afraid that the apprentice shall exceed his master, Gaelion?

Seeing the pace at which he's improved, I am afraid that might not be too far away... looking forward to it then! :pirat:

What a great looking model! It is a sign of progress when such a small company continues to move forward by bringing in new outstanding talent to produce the best figures in the wargaming market place. Looking forward to seeing many more great figures.

Hint: How about a female dwarf fighter in chain mail over long over robes carrying either one or two weapons or shield as she defends hearth and kin. Just a thought.

Great work!!!

More sculptors - more new models, and that Orc Brute looks great, Marc really capture the brute, feral look of orcs.

This Guy should totally sculp some Ogres, his Style is very wild und would fit perfectly to some big frantic ogres.

Has he an account for the forum?
