Paintdemic

[Darklord]

The world is in a tough place right now and many of you are stuck at home isolated. We wanted to try and do a little something for the mini painting community and perhaps bring a little joy in these dark times.
So we are going to be launching Paintdemic, a painting contest. We will throw in a bunch of prizes, for the winners and some random entry prizes too and the contest will be open to any mini regardless of scale, genre or subject.
While there will be a general categories there will also be manufacturer specifc ones too.
We would love to get as many other miniature companies on board as we can. So if you fancy joining us, offering up a prize or two and maybe a store discount to entrants then please get in touch.
Lets try and spread this instead of Corona.

No restrictions on manufacturer, scale, genre or subject. This is your chance to grab that favourite sculpt and really go to town.


There is a single category but there will be numerous prizes up for grabs including for specific manufacturers or themes. These will be added as they are agreed.
