STARTING NOW - THIS ENDS 9TH OF MAY!
Help us reach a target of one million miniatures painted in 2026, and Introduce new people to Warhammer to earn rewards!
This year, we've got two great challenges for you - One is about challenging yourself, and the other is aimed at growing the community with friends and family.
Our first challenge is one with a lofty goal – the Million Miniatures Challenge. It’s exactly how it sounds, we want to see one million painted Warhammer miniatures. Taking part is simple: head down to your local Warhammer store from the 17th of January and pledge to paint 25+, 50+, or 100+ miniatures by the 9th of May. Faction, game system, and size of miniatures doesn’t matter, it’s just how many you can paint. But it’s extra impressive if your numbers include the likes of Fulgrim, Stompas, and Archaon.
Every pledge will be recorded on the store’s hub poster, and you’ll get a bespoke activity card to fill out your commitment and your continuing progress. As you hit your milestones, you’ll be awarded with a series of cool gifts at the Million Miniature celebration event on Saturday 9th May. You’ll get a One Million Miniatures pin badge for 25+ miniatures, a purity seal water pot stand for 50+, and a paint brush tin for 100+*
One million miniatures is a big number to reach, even across every Warhammer store involved. Even with hundreds of prolific painters involved, everyone will need all the help they can get, which is where the second challenge comes in. Call to Arms is your invitation to help introduce someone new to the exciting and creative world of Warhammer.
Get your double-sided tracking card in store, and earn stickers for bringing a friend or family member with them to the store and helping them get started. When these referrals pick up starter sets for Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar, or a Combat Patrol or Spearhead box, they’ll earn the person who referred them even more stickers!
You’ll earn a Bronze sticker by introducing one new person to the Warhammer hobby, and that’ll also get you a pin badge. Helping three people start the hobby will get you a Silver sticker, along with a gaming dashboard. Introduce five people to the hobby to secure a Gold sticker and a brush holder for your desk.*
* Awards are cumulative and available while stocks last.
