NOCF Charity Raffles: An Inside Look at the Blood Angels Army!


First off these are some amazing Blood Angels. You can win these miniatures for just penny's to the dollar for armies that are painted by some of the best artists in our wargaming hobby. These artists spend an amazing amount of time on these miniatures all for charity! Truly incredible.

You wont believe just how much goes into each army, squad, and individual miniature raffles. Its not just the painting, but planning, coordination, photography, site work, tracking, getting the miniatures, coordinating who is painting what, packing, shipping.... So much, all for charity.

OK, Im already tired just thinking back through the process.


Please don't forget to check out the NOCF site to see all the great raffles going on now!
Every day on the NOCF site new videos showing off the miniatures appears.

"Many of the artists who volunteer their time and talent to paint entire armies often work in remote groups, each artist being sent a different portion of the army to paint, and then coordinate across different states and sometimes different countries to get things just right. When the summer raffles went live today it was the first time some of the artists have seen whole projects/armies together in one place. "


Here is what Mike Cho (Artist painting Blood Angels) had to say:

"Hey everyone,
I just saw the entire army put together and all I have to say is WOW! We put together an amazing army! 

First, I would like to say thank you to the NOVA team and Jawa for inviting me to paint alongside all the other great artists. It was an absolute pleasure being a part of an amazing team. I would love to come back again for more next year, as long as I'm wanted LOL. 

Second, to all the painters, everyone did an amazing job and I wanted to say thank you guys for putting in great effort on your end. It pushed me to make sure my stuff was up to par with everyone else so that we could have a killer looking army. I hope we can work together again soon so that I can continue to up my game and paint great looking minis for events like NOVA.
