Special thanks to our painting contest sponsor, Chronicle. They'll provide sets of their excellent paintbrushes to each of our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners!

Contest Categories: The contest is split up into categories, each with its own submission criteria, and each contestant may pick only one category:

  • Legendary - Paint this month's legendary model.

  • Solo - Paint one single model from this month's release.

  • Unit - Paint a unit of 5 small or 3 large models from this month's release.

  • Army (Wood Elves Only) - Send us a picture of your full army. Each army must have at least 30 models from OPR, and must include at least 1 hero model.

Rules: To participate, pick one category and share a high-resolution picture in square format via the Dropbox link below (leave a margin on the sides for re-sizing). Only one picture may be submitted, and you must use your Patreon username as the file name, or the submission will be discarded!

*Due to some of the models being delayed we will be extending the painting contest deadline until the end of the month.

Deadline: May 31st

The miniatures should be painted by you, no re-sizing over 5% is allowed, and only minor modifications are acceptable. By entering the contest, you give OPR permission to share the pictures on our website and social media.

Prize: The community will vote for the best submissions, and the top 3 of each category will get A Paint Brush Set from Chronicle, Two special Reward Minis, plus a special 75% MyMiniFactory Store Discount. As a bonus, one other random participant from each category will also get the special store discount!

The top 3 winners will also get to choose a set of paintbrushes from our contest sponsor, Chronicle!

  • 1st Place - Choice of Sable's Kolinsky Brushes, Techlon Tiger Drybrushes, or Wolf Bristle Brushes

  • 2nd Place - Choice of Techlon Tiger Drybrushes or Wolf Bristle Brushes

  • 3rd Place - Wolf Bristle Brushes

If you like any of the miniatures you see above, you can get the files to print them at home on our MyMiniFactory store! And remember: Tier 2 Patrons get a 50% Discount on all MyMiniFactoryPurchases!

Happy Painting!

I just submitted my first miniature ever for a contest (May). Do we get some kind of confirmation to know if the photo is good enough?

Unfortunately we don't have the capacity to vet the photos as they come.

I had this question as well. Is there a list somewhere of everything released in May?

Too many professional painters starting to flood in now. This is losing its grass roots feel. Kind of getting redundantly boring.

Bro I started painting less than a year ago and won twice, not a professional...no need to be bitter about competition.
