Quarterly Challenge

The challenge will take a very interesting turn in the third quarter that we haven't done before! The theme is Ancient Mythology.

For this challenge, we want to encourage you to paint any miniature (figure, bust or diorama) that depicts a classic myth from anywhere in the world. It could be from pre-Hispanic American civilisations, ancient Greece, China, Japan or Celtic culture.

Can you capture the epic themes and stories that have shaped the origins of humanity?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 third quarter of 2026, you have to paint a miniature (Figure, bust, etc) that reflects the topic of Ancient Mythology. 

Submission requirements

  1. The model can be any type of scale
  2. The model can be from any brand
  3. The model can be a miniature or bust
  4. The model must reflect a classic myth of any ancient civilization and more.

Finally: 

  1. The model must be new for this challenge — assembled or primed at the start.

  2. You cannot submit models painted before the quarter began.

Here are some questions related to the challenge:

Can I use AI for creating models, figures or anything else?

  • This is a very sensitive and interesting topic to discuss. The idea is to reflect this concept of AI based on human capabilities. We recommend and encourage you not to use AI to create models, backgrounds, etc. If you do use it, we recommend giving a good justification and discussing it on Discord to see what direction you want to take, as criticism and not as a shortcut. 

Deadline: When does it need to be finished?

  • All submissions must be completed by October 04, 2026.

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.

Can I make a diorama or a scene?

  • Absolutely! 

What scale can we choose?

  • You can choose any miniature / Bust of any scale and from any brand you want! 

Can the miniature be 3D printed? Or must it be a plastic, metal or resin-casted type?

  • You can choose any miniature you want!
