Quarterly Challenge

A new year, a new quarter, and, following last year's tradition, we return to a dark and scary theme: terror and horror!

This time, you won't just be painting vampires, but also other creatures, moments, and scenes that will make your hair stand on end. In this challenge, you can paint any miniature (figure, bust, etc.) from any era or universe that reflects the feeling of terror and horror.

Can you capture this in a miniature? For this quarterly challenge and all future ones, Scott will be participating and showing off your entries as well! 

When the quarter is over, Scott will release a video in the theme of the challenge and showcase all your hard efforts. He has missed the last two due to his current move, but will be back-tracking to complete all the previous ones. (I promise)

By the first quarter of 2026, you have to paint a miniature (figure, bust, etc) that reflects the feeling of terror and horror. It can be from any game system, brand, or size.
