Hello fellow fans of paintable, humanoid metal bits!  Especially those of the Anima fan kind.

Well, it’s down to the final leg of this journey. Soon all of the Organization Agents will have an official look and paint job. The Church Agent now has a new coat of paint with beautiful scroll work on his tome and a hand painted mosaic floor. Take a look at the winning model and the rest of the great entries at http://cipher-studios.com/2010/02/church-agent-painting-contest-winner/. There is just one Agent to go: the Empire Agent from the Holy Empire of Abel. Spear or sword, helm or chops: You decide what his new look will be.

The rules are the same as with the Agents before and will continue to be. Each Agent has two different head and weapon options with each body thus giving a possibility of 4 different looks for your Agent! Contestants may submit all 4 options if they wish but, of course, only one will win. The winner of each part of this series will receive 100 dollars in credit toward Anima Tactics merchandise as well as a Master cast of the very figure that won him/her the contest. The figure that rises to the top will have a permanent place in the Cipher Studios display with the rest of the professionally painted models. So yes, this does mean that you must send us the winning model to claim your prizes. The winner’s name will appear with the model when put on display at shows, as well as given credit with our other painters when presented in publications by Cipher Studios.

Please send your entries, at least a front and a back shot, to PaintingContest@Cipher-Studios.com. The deadline for the Empire Agent entries will be April 12th.

Ready, Set, Go!
