http://www.coolminiornot.com/
Following the success of our previous limited edition contest miniatures, Cool Mini Or Not is proud to partner with Dark Sword Miniatures and Tom Meier to once again up the ante and offer a Female Sorceress as our contest miniature. Dark Sword Miniatures is a multiple award winning pewter miniature company that produces premium fantasy miniatures based on the artwork of legendary artists such as Larry Elmore, Keith Parkinson, Jeff Easley and Clyde Caldwell. In addition, Dark Sword Miniatures is also producing premium pewter miniatures based on the works of New York Times best-selling author George R.R. Martin. This miniature is sculpted by none other than hall of fame sculptor Tom Meier who is known for his attention to detail. The picture speaks for itself.

Dark Sword Miniatures will be offering prizes for the winners and selected participants.
