April Painting Contest
Contest Categories: The contest is split up into 4 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 (Ratmen 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!
Submissions: https://www.dropbox.com/request/bKvMhFVoRPQ8ZWGumQNK
Deadline: April 25th
Not Allowed: Welcome Pack Minis, Loyalty Rewards, Terrain, Game Aids
Totally Allowed: April Fools Models
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 Two special Reward Minis, plus a special 75% Store Discount. As a bonus, one other random participant from each category will also get the special store discount!
Happy Painting!
- OPR Team
Note: The special Reward Minis are not available for sale for the time being, but every few months we will swap them out with new ones, and the current ones will then be released via MMF for purchase.
Update: The April Fools Models are allowed as entries to the contest.

I see a lot of people complaining in favor of participation awards and I, full heartedly, disagree. The unique prizes are what make it worth it. Competition breeds better skill and causes us to work harder when we don't "win" while losing.
Well, day 3 of printing and the third piece of the base done....might be able to enter with a base coat on it by the time it is all printed lol
Can I enter with the April Fools Model?
Dunno if I can, but def will be trying too lol
For the next competition I suggest to allow down scaling beyond 5% so that models and units printed for Regiments are also valid entries.
Challenge accepted, one Altar coming up.
Thought the same and then came the 40+ hour print time 😂
now im really disappointed, my resin printer is broke and im not sure when ill be able to fix it... not that i think one of my paint jobs could land a top 3 anyways.... but the fact that ill never get such a cool ratman.... cuts me deep
There will be other opportunities to earn the prize minis and eventually they will be placed on the MMF store so that anyone can purchase them.
So is the Legend model the 'Sisters Procession Altar' for this month then?
Yes, that's the one.
Will the special Reward Minis be given to loyal Patreon subscribers for free when they're released on MMF? I don't know if I'm comfortable with the idea that our $ is being used to produce excess models for sale that we don't get access to.
They said that in time those would be released to everyone, yes.
Make those limited models available to all participants...not just the winners of a popularity contest.....you should (like opr normally does) encourage people to join...prizes shouldn't matter
With their first announcement that stood firm that they wont be doing that. But yea...
