It's a small creative outlet (no pun intended) for me, and believe it or not, I put a lot of time and thought into each name. Okay, maybe not *each* name. But a lot of names. Sometimes I spend way too much time coming up with names, but then again, some just come to me in an instant. The one online reference I use the most is a site called 20000-names.com. It has a lot of good names all organized by geography, gender, genre, and so on. It's come in handy many, many times when I've been up against a deadline and trying to come up with just the right name for a piece. I'll tell you, even though I've worked hard for my Miniature Naming merit badge, one false slip and it's crotch kicking time. If people like the names, they keep it to themselves, locked away in a tiny satin box that they keep under their pillow. "Good night, sweet fantasy name," they seem to say, caressing it like their favorite LOL cat. However, if they hate it, they can’t wait to track me down or ambush me, like a ninja in a yellow Uma Thurman jumpsuit. "Hey, Hawkins!" they yell. Employees Alyscia Clark Cheryl Storm Darryl Roberds Ed Pugh Eric Koch Erica Wallin Gus Landt Jeremy Allen Jess Reade Kevin Williams Kit Pierce Kristin Freeman Kyle Killingsworth Mark Kielty Matt Clark Melissa Cowan Sean Kielty Victoria Pugh Laughing, pointing accusingly at my bespectacled head, they blurt it out, sounding more and more like Paw Rugg from the Hillbilly Bears*. "Heh heh, so that new succubus mini, her name's Quesadilla**, right? Quesadilla? Dang, Hawkins, you're a dern fool galoot, ain't ya? Naming miniatures after Mexican food? Shoot, you must be runnin' outta ideas. What's next, Taco the Dwarf? Har har hardy har har!!!" Knee slapping ensues. *Hillbilly Bears. Go Google it. I dare you. **Hey, Hasslehoff, it's "Kasadya". Kuh-SOD-yuh, not "Kay-suh-DEE-ya". Stop eating horse apples and watching reruns of Hart to Hart, you snuggie wearer. Five years later, and I still get crap like that.

Judy: and Judy. Sophie: Oh, right. Yes, Judy of course. Now, Mr. Defiler - may I call you Dragoth? Or how about Dray, Just Goth? Dragoth: You can call me whatever you like, Sweetie. Judy: Hrummmph. Sophie: Sophie, please, Mr. Defiler. Now, how exactly did you first get into defiling? Dragoth: It's a growth industry. As a young vampire, defiling always fascinated me. When I became strong enough, I decided, what the heck, let's try it. Why should Judas have all the fun, after all, right, Sweetie? Sophie: It's Sophie, please. And what about you, er, Judy? Judy: For me, it was a career move I pretty much had to make after Lehman Brothers went out of business. Sophie: Uh-huh. So, Tell me a little bit about you two. That is, what exactly is your relationship? Judy: We're engaged. Well, almost. I mean, I'm sure he's going to! Dragoth: Judy's a little overexcited, you know how it is with the young girls. She's my assistant. She mostly just holds my helmet. A monkey could do her job really... is Kabaka the Ape Lord looking for work? She means nothing to me. You, Sweetie, are the one I'd like to hear more about. Those wings... Continued on Page 47 ReaperCon NEW FOR 2009! ALL MODELS from ALL MANUFACTURERS are allowed to enter! CATEGORIES Painters: In the Painters Division, judging is based entirely upon painting skill. Although scratchbuilt and converted figures are not excluded, they are judged as if they were stock commercial castings. There is no size limit— anything from a 15mm solider to a 15” resin garage kit is allowed. Open: The Open Division is intended primarily for scratchbuilt and converted figures, vignettes, and dioramas; both painting and sculpting/basing technique will be assessed, as well as entry creativity. Scratch sculpts are allowed and encouraged in this category (though of course they must also be painted!). Again, there is no size limit. Ordnance: The Ordnance Division is open to vehicles and machines of war from any genre, of any size. Models may be stock or converted/sculpted, and are judged purely on the execution of the mechanical aspects of the entry. If there are crew models which cannot be removed, they will be ignored in the judging. Young Painters: All subject matter allowed, open to kids aged 16 and under. Medals and certificates only will be awarded in this category. 40 CONTEST RULES 1. Any number of entries are permitted per painter per category. The judges will choose the best of your presented entries in each category to be judged. 2. No basing regulations will be imposed as to size or particular base to be used, though all models must have a base. Basing counts for a small amount in Painters and Ordnance, but is much more important in Open. Be creative! 3. By submitting an entry you agree to allow the model to be photographed by Reaper for use in ads, promotions, and galleries. All entry forms for submissions must be signed by the painter. 4. Painters must personally submit all entries. An admissions badge to ReaperCon is required for entry. 5. Entrants may only enter models painted by them personally. Discovery that a model was not painted by the person who entered it will result in the barring of said individual from all future Reaper events. 6. Models which have appeared previously online or in publications are allowed, but models previously entered under the old competition format here at ReaperCon can not be entered again. Likewise, models entered this year cannot be entered again in any following years. 7. In the case of confusion regarding which category a model might belong in, all decisions of the Reaper judges are final. 8. Entrants must have done all painting and conversion work on their models themselves. Submissions: Entries accepted from 10 a.m. on Thursday, May 14th, to 6 p.m. on Friday, May 15th. Judging is Friday night. For any convention attendees who cannot attend until Saturday, some late entries may continue to be accepted Saturday morning as space permits. Prizes: Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals will be awarded, as well as Certificates of Merit (Honorable Mention). All judged entries which deserve awards get awards! The top three best Reaper models in Painters, Open, and Ordnance win the coveted Sophie Trophies. Best in Show awards win cash prizes, and there will be loads of special awards and gift certificates as well!

Now, Mr. Defiler, how do you feel about having been immortalized as a Master Series Miniature after having been one of the foundation figures from Dark Heaven? Dragoth: Well, I'm pretty much immortal anyway, being a vampire lord in charge of legions of Dire Dead, but it was a real honor. I'd already been honored once before, getting a version of me without my throne, but making it to Master Series - I mean, alongside Maria Roseblade and Monique DeNoir! I didn't get to meet them, of course, and the DeNoir family has that restraining order on me, but still.... My one complaint, of course, is that I think I could have been made bigger if they hadn't put the little girl in. Judy: I'm not a little girl, I'm your fiancee and Mr. Ridolfi put me in there because we belong together, you stupid ape! Dragoth: Why don't you go run along and hold my helmet over there? Grownups are talking, dear. Judy: Hrummph. (Continued on Page 48) 47 CW25_41-50_REV2 3/10/09 5:24 PM Page 48 The ProCounter Talismans easily fit into your card caddy.

What does the future hold for you, now that you've become a Master Series Miniature? What could possibly top that? Judy: I'm planning for a summer wedding, not too big, just a couple of hundred of my ghoulfriends. I'd like to have it outdoors, but since that might make the groom and most of his family combust, I'm willing to compromise. Dragoth: My defiling will keep me busy for most of the spring and summer. Things slow down a little in autumn, but they pick right up again for the big holiday defiling rush. Plus with my appearances at the summer conventions, I just don't know. It’s all part of my Comprehensive Defiling Strategy, culminating in a massive surprise defilement at... I really shouldn’t say. Sophie: I see. Are you a little concerned about sharing shelf space with Jonas Kane and Magnus, Vampire Hunter? 48 (Continued on Page 76) CW25_41-50_CAV_REV1 3/6/09 2:22 PM Page 49 Europe: A continent scarred by war.

It's a blend of white metals designed to capture every subtle detail as well as allow for maximum metal flexibility for straightening and posing. Bringing this metal formula back into production is a big step for us so we felt it only appropriate to name the new line P-65 in honor of its heritage. P-65 is a lead based alloy similar to 60% lead - 40% tin solder and is the perfect mix to cast miniatures in. The P-65 miniature line is designed specifically for the adult modeler and is being released to give them a choice in how they spend their hobby dollars. 74 CW25_71-80_REV2 3/26/09 7:32 AM Page 75 APRIL APRIL APRIL APRIL APRIL APRIL APRIL APRIL APRIL APRIL APRIL APRIL APRIL APRIL APRIL APRIL APRIL 75 CW25_71-80_REV2 3/26/09 7:32 AM Page 76 MAY MAY MAY MAY MAY MAY MAY MAY MAY MAY (an Interview with Dragoth the Defiler, Continued from Page 48) Dragoth: I was a little apprehensive at first, but then Bob included these other heads with me, so I can have my original Dire-Dead visage, and a really cool Ghoul Lord look, plus my battle helmet Judy: Right here, Dragy-kins. Dragoth: NOT NOW, JENNY! Where was I? Oh yes, my head options. Since I have those, nobody entering my throne room is going to be sure what I am exactly, so I'm prepared for those mooks. Hey, If you have time, Sweetie, I think I can show you some of my optional parts, say tonight, around midnight? ((Ka-TANG!!)) Sophie: Well, that's about it for today, It seems Dragoth has decided to take a nap with a faceful of helmet... Reporting for Casketworks, I'm Sophie -Judy: And I'm Judy! Sophie: -- and this has been "An Interview with Dragoth". Judy: And Judy! Sophie: See you next time! (uncomfortable silence) Judy: So, do you have any openings for a bright, ambitious undead half-fiend? I'm particularly good at holding things. Sophie: No thanks, I'm not that into helmets. 76 CW25_71-80_REV2 3/17/09 11:18 AM Page 77 According to Internet Rumor, a big shot Hollywood producer (Spielberg! *OMG!*) is supposed to be calling us any day now to cement a movie deal for Chronoscope: The Movie! Apparently our Super-Smash Mega-Hit Miniatures line would make a kick-ass Super-Smash MegaHit Movie. We plan to accept, of course, provided they give us full control over casting our favorite figures. So, If you're paying attention, Mr. S. , Here we go! As our hero, Intergalactic Space Marine and 87-points-ofarticulation action figure Franchisee, Nick Stone, we want to see Bruce Willis. Our wives assure us he's dead sexy, and we all know he's super tough and can pull off those action sequences. Yippe-ki-yay.... wrong movie! (Editor's note: Bryan, you write an article as an excuse to show hot babes, and you give me Bruce Willis? This had better improve. - Ron) As our heroine, the time-travelling bombshell that also happens to grace this issue's front cover, Sascha DuBois, we need to cast Kate Beckinsale. She's ultra hot, good in action and sci-fi movies, and it gives us an excuse to show this super hot picture! (Editor's note: If Kate's not available, I want Nicole Kidman. Heck, I want Nicole Kidman anyway! - Ron) For Best Supporting Actress (We're gonna sweep the oscars!) we're gonna go with a tried-and-true typecast! Rosie, the Chronotechnician that fixes equipment, kicks ass, and makes tents in our underoos can only ever be portrayed by Kaylee. I mean, Jewel Staite, the actress who played Kaylee in Joss Whedon's Firefly. (Editor's note: Thank you, Captain Obvious. Remind me why we pay you? - Ron) Finally, our villain, Professor L.T. Froschmeister, mad scientist extraordinaire. Such madness can only adequately be portrayed by the erudite John Malkovich in heavy cranial prosthetics. Of course, to let him into our picture, he's going to have to beg forgiveness publically for being John Malkovich. (Editor's note: Another Dude. Can we pick a female to play Dr. Froschmeister? Maybe Nicole Kidman? - Ron) 77 CW25_71-80_REV2 78 3/10/09 6:14 PM Page 78 CW25_71-80_REV2 3/17/09 11:24 AM Page 79 79 CW25_71-80_P65End_REV1 3/6/09 2:49 PM Page 80
