I am very proud to have provided display bases for Team North America, and their Pre-heresy/Primarch Project for Gamesday Chicago ‘07.
Members of TNA contacted me in ‘06 about their secret project to showcase what American painters could do as a team. My job was to help tie them all together visually with unifying display plinths. A domestic hardwood was chosen: Claro Walnut. And chapter symbols or icons were laser-engraved onto the wood. All of the bases are magnetized for removal of the miniature.
The Primarch Project was a phenomenal hit at Gamesday. There is wide agreement that the level of high-quality competition was raised beyond all previous Golden Demons in the US. Of course, there were not enough trophies to go around, but most all the Primarchs received Honorable Mention. Chris Borer’s “Fulgrim” received Gold for 40K Single, and took the Slayer Sword for Best Of Show.
Chris Borer - “Fulgrim”
Angela Imrie - “Rogal Dorn”
James Craig - “Alpharius”
Joe Orteza - “Jaghatai Khan”
John Shaffer - “Kharn”
Nathan Comanse - “Ferrus Manus”
Shawn Welte - “Perturabo”
Tom Schadle - “Lion El’Jonson”
Mike Butcher - “Word Bearers”
Dave Taylor - “Nathaniel Garro”
Kent Plumb - “Leman Russ” (entered at Gamesday LA)

Dave Perrotta’s Gold-winning diorama for the Privateer Press painting competition at Gencon Indy 2006 was this wonderful scene of gobbers looking with dismay at the wreckage of a warjack that they have to fix.
The display base is made from Brazilian Ipe, and features a removable insert for the terrain. Dave routed lights to the lamp-post and batteries inside the base.
Conquest SF commisioned me to make these trophies for the painting competition and the Warhammer tournaments. 19 trophy bases were made out of White Oak, Mahogany, and Amboyna Burl for the Best Of Show, with custom laser-etched nameplates.
Eurion Kemish’s entry for GamesDay: Germany 2006 was this very creative “Special Ops” climbing a wall. I like this one…its got a lot of character! 
The base is a 40mm Cocobolo plinth.
Anticipation!
Ben Hardy’s entry for GD: Chicago 2006 was this wonderful Captain Phobor of his Iron Snakes chapter. The style is heavily influenced by Ancient Greek soldier themes.
Ben contracted me to make a base that was similar to the one on his Silver-winning “The Great Petrok - Iron Snakes Librarian” from GD Atlanta ‘05. The base is a 40mm turned plinth made of Cocobolo. Ben affixed the name plate.
Joe Orteza’s entry for GD: Chicago 2006 was this fantastic Skaven Lord he sculpted himself. The base is a 40mm UniPlinth made of Gabon (Black) Ebony, and laser-engraved with the character’s name and clan symbols. Joe painted in the laser-engraving.
Kublacon commisioned me to make these trophy bases for the KublaAwards 2006. Thirty bases were made out of Brazilian Jatoba wood, all custom laser-engraved with the category of the winning entry.
Trophy statues were sculpted by CJ Cummings (the ‘Raging Gaijin’), cast in resin by Dave Garton (Armorcast), and assembled and painted by Wayne Rogers.
Corey ran a Wargods of Aegyptus tournament at Kublacon 2006. He commisioned me to make this base for the trophy. The base is made from Brazilian Jatoba, and is laser-engraved with the title of the tourney. The Chosen of Sobek mini was painted by Meredith Somavia.
Remy won a Silver KublaAward in the Fantasy Large category at Kublacon 2006 with this Wolfen Hunter.
The base is made from Cocobolo wood, which is primarily from Mexico. The design is a 40mm “UniPlinth”, magnetized for a surface-mount 37mm Rackham base.
Joel challenged me to make a “square hole” for a recessed 25mm x 50mm rectangular Rackham base. So I came up with this design, that assembles the base much like a tiny picture frame. As a side benefit, there is no exposed endgrain anywhere.
Joel gained an Honorable Mention for this mini at the KublaAwards in 2006.
The base is made from American Walnut. The base is magnetized for a recessed 25mm x 50mm rectangular cavalry base.
