Miniature Painting Competition
Advertisement
Paint up your favorite miniature for any game system you play for a chance to win a $50 Games Workshop voucher. This is a FREE event. Miniatures will need to be submitted by August 3rd.
Every miniature will be judged by the following categories
Workmanship
Judges are looking at the quality of the build. Common issues are defined as mold lines, gaps, seems, glue marks, assembly issues (instability), surface details such as sanding marks, loss of detail, sprue nubs, flashing.
Painting Skill
Judges are looking at the quality of the application and usage of paint and decals. Common issues are defined as debris (dust, hair), brush marks, uneven layering, smoothness (over flat surfaces), paint runs, drips, or uncorrected mistakes, washing/shading pooling, smudging or lifting.
Difficulty
Upon entry, judges will use registration sheet to get kit and modification/conversion details from the entrant. It is also important to notify judges of a 3d printed model. 3d printing is not penalized, but instead examined for print complexity and quality. Judges may research manufacturer recommendations and build manuals to assess difficulty with kits we’re not familiar with. Judges are also looking at how the entrant handled building and painting in possible sub-assemblies.
Presentation
Presentation is the overall effect of the model, base and use of elements within to create a cohesive and thematic display. Judges would assess its impression the model leaves on the viewer; the visual impact, emotional resonance, and the wow factor it generates.
Creativity
Judges look for original ideas and concepts that go beyond common tropes or clichés within the fantasy and sci-fi genres. Models that offer fresh interpretations or introduce innovative elements stand out in terms of creativity.
