That's right folks, it's been awhile since we ran our last miniature painting competition and with the cold, wet weekends of winter fast approaching we felt it's time for our 2017 Tabletop Gaming Painting Competition!

So let's take a look at how you can take part in this great hobby event and be in to win a share of over $600 worth of prizes…

The Categories:

• Single Infantry Figure

Entries may consist of a single infantry figure from 25mm-32mm scale on an appropriately sized base.

• Single Vehicle, Cavalry Figure or Monster

Entries may consist of a single vehicle, cavalry figure or monster from 25mm-32mm scale and may include an appropriately sized base.

To enter, simply message us with no more than 2 photos of the completed work on the Mighty Ape Hobbies Facebook page.

Entries will be judged by Mighty Ape Hobbies and a panel of guest judges to select the overall winner for each category. The overall winners will each win an Army Painter Mega Paint Set worth $189.99!

All entries in both categories will also go into the draw to win the bonus prize of a Vallejo Game Air Paint Set worth over $250! Please note the case has some minor scrapes but it's still an awesome prize
