Categories

Human sized Infamy model mounted on a base or plinth up to 50mm wide.
Includes: Henrietta Jekyll, Sherlock Holmes, Doctor John Watson and Talullah Belle. There are upcoming releases on the way soon – Peter, Edwina Hyde and The Toad.
Open (Voted for by Wamp members)
All monstrous Infamy models as well as larger scale stuff. This is also the category for dioramas and duels.
Includes: Frank Hyde, Chee-Chee, 54mm and 90mm Talullah Belle. 54mm and 90mm Peter will be released soon.
Best of the Best (Voted for by James from Infamy)
Awarded to the most exciting painter in the competition rather than a single entry. It could be for one truly amazing single miniature, but someone who submits various high quality entries will be in with a great chance too, for their complete portfolio.
James says: “I’ll obviously be looking for wonderful painting and detail, but I love seeing a range of work that shows different skills and ideas. If your entries are imaginative and truly capture the dark, twisted, messed up steampunk world of Infamy then you’ll make me smile.”
Phew! I think I need a lie down!!
