 Hello All!!! You wanted some hobby events! Well here we have it! presenting: The DWGC Golden Brush Challenges! 🖌️🎨 Throughout the year we will be hosting one or two (or more?!) miniature hobby challenges and awarding prizes as we see fit to those we feel have reached the criteria for the challenge. the point to the hobby challenge is to push hobbyists into exploring new techniques and ideas while also fulfilling their goal of clear off their piles of shame! Each Challenge will have a different theme to it and it is up to the competitors to decide how they will interpret the theme.

Dioramas, squads, single models, busts and anything they want to enter is applicable! The only criteria is that the model is something that was started at the beginning of the challenge and that it meets an interpretation of the theme presented!
