Added 2023-10-01 21:56:33 +0000 UTC

Hello friends! As we strongly alluded to in a previous video, we're running a painting competition this October!

Here are the rules for SPORKTOBER '23:

Challenge

Paint any “Ork” or “Undead” style miniature in a retro 90s colour scheme.

Prizes

Patreon Ork winner: Space Ork RTB13 sprue from 1990

Patreon Undead winner: Skeleton Army PBS5 box from 1989

Instagram Ork winner: Space Ork Raider “Troopar” from 1987

Instagram Undead winner: Vampire Counts “Wraith 7” from 1992

What’s allowed

ANY “Ork” or “Undead” style miniature, GW or not. Retro is great, modern models are great, 3d printed is great, have fun!

By “Ork”, we mean any typical “green skin” model, goblins, grots, nobs, and big stompy walkers and vehicles are fine too!

By “Undead” we mean literally anything spooky. Skeletons, witches, vampires, zombies, ghosts. Basically, if there could be a really bad halloween b-movie about it, it qualifies.

Anyone can enter, regardless of age or location.
