*NEW* The Ultimate Galactic Warrior!

We understand that the Warhammer hobby isn’t just about the game, it’s also about the building and painting of amazing epic heroes and villains! This season we’re introducing a model building and painting competition that will have participants create their own unique Ultimate Galactic Warrior!!!

How it works:

  • Utilizing primarily Games Workshop models and discarded bits, participant will build (kit bash) their own character atop a maximum 80mm (circular) / 90mmx52mm (oval) base or smaller. Tons of bits are available at IGP. If you would like to use your own or donate to the competition, you are welcome.

  • After building their gray abomination, participants will have to fully paint and base their model.

  • Give your character a name and even a fun back-story if you are feeling adventurous. Who knows, maybe that will help your chances of winning.

  • Once complete, bring the model to IGP for entry. We will take care of pictures and a video of the completed warrior.

  • At the end of league, a panel of voters will be gathered to go over the entries and select the top 3 models. Prizes and trophies will be given to the winners.

Additional rules

  • A majority (more than half) of the model must use official Games Workshop models and bits. Other material may be utilized.

  • Models do not have to be sci-fi based. Models from other genres are allowed.
