Quarterly Challenge


A new year, a new term, what better way to start than with a great challenge adapted to Miniac? What could be more appropriate than....vampires! Besides, Nosferatu was just redone so there’s a lot of inspiration.

In this challenge, we want you to paint a vampire miniature or bust from any era and universe. Will you be able to reflect the sinister essence of this mythical fantasy figure?

** NEW **

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.

By the first quarter of 2025, you have to paint a miniature or bust that is a vampire. It can be from any game system, brand, or size.

Submission requirements

  • The model can be any type of scale
  • The model can be from any brand
  • The model can be a miniature or bust
  • The model must be a Vampire

Quarterly points

You want additional points, don't you? The Masquerade have decided to put up some additional challenges:

  • OSL Effect: Can you create an interesting lighting effect for your figure? Can you give it some more sinister or horror ambiance?
  • NMM Effect: If you use any figures with metals or similar, could you try to create a non-metallic effect?
  • Blood Effect: Blood is life for all vampires! How could you incorporate this crimson nectar into your piece? With Tamiya Red Clear and Blood of the Blood God or something more complicated?
  • Nosferatu Effect: It's been almost 103 years (yes, 103 years...) since the release of the original Nosferatu movie. Do you think you can paint a figure with just Black and White?

Here are some questions related to the challenge:

  • When does it need to be finished?
    • April 10th
  • Can I use models already painted?
    • Models must be new, assembled, or primed at the start of the challenge.
    • You cannot use models painted before the quarterly as part of an army submission.
  • What scale can we choose?
    • You can choose any miniature of any scale and from any brand you want!
