Each participant will be given similar (mystery) models and the same two (mystery) colors that must be the dominant colors on the miniature.

​

Each participant must bring their own brushes, and may bring up to 10 pots of paint and/or washes to try to make their miniature look the best! Basing is not allowed, so don’t bother. Models will be primed black, so Contrast paints are not recommended.

​

This is where the strategy comes in, because nobody will know will know which model is the model for this year, and nobody will know which two colors have been chosen as the two main colors! So choose your ten pots wisely and you have one hour to paint a masterpiece.
