Speed Painting

Take a chance and see what you can do in an hour! You will have 1 hour to paint a miniature of our choice that won’t be revealed until moments before you paint! You then go up against all the other poor souls who dare take the challenge! The judges vote and the winner gets some swag and bragging rights!

Chaos Painting

Muhahaha! This fun challenge is where Charity earned the name Evil Overlord (instead of just Overlord). You have an hour. In that hour, you get a miniature of our choice picked right before you sit to paint. The first couple minutes, Charity might be nice and let you paint with smiles and happiness in your soul. Then…it happens: for the next 5 minutes, you could be painting with your non-dominant hand, or with one eye closed or…who knows? As the hour goes on, so does the torture. We mean to challenge you to keep you on your toes (maybe literally)! As always, we end with judges voting and awarding swag and well-earned bragging rights.

Limited Pallet

This fun and educational challenge is always a hit. We pick random colors 5 minutes before we sit you down to paint. We also pick the miniature and surprise you. You have an hour to use the limited colors we provide and create the best painted mini! We judge, award swag, and oooh and aaah over how people learn to mix colors to create a great painted mini!
