Good evening, Darlington! 🎉

🎃 MASTER OF BUILDING – Miniatures That Go Bump in the Night! 👻

It’s time to get creative! Grab yourself a Warhammer miniature, dig through your bits box and see what you can create.

The theme is Halloween, so embrace everything spooky! Make something fun, funny, creepy or downright scary and let your imagination run wild.

Once you’ve finished, bring your creation along and share it with the community! 🦇💀

🎨 MASTER OF PAINTING – Halloween Horrors! 🎨

Just like our building challenge, it’s time to embrace all things Halloween!

Grab your Warhammer paints, pick a miniature and see what you can create. Whether you go for spooky, sinister, silly or spectacular, we want to see your Halloween-inspired masterpieces!

Get those brushes moving and show us what you can do! 🖌️🎃

Who will become our Darlington Master of Building and Master of Painting?

Let the Halloween hobby begin! 👻

I’m hoping everyone will get involved with our Anniversary celebrations!

This year’s theme is HALLOWEEN! 🎃👻

Get those creative energies flowing and go wild! Grab your Warhammer miniatures, raid those bit boxes and create something truly unique and spooky. Then grab your paintbrushes and show me what Halloween means to you!

You can enter the Master of Painting and Master of Building categories separately, or, if you’re feeling ambitious, enter the same miniature into both!

Stuck for ideas? Want to bounce an idea around? Pop into the store and we can brainstorm together!

Throughout the week we’ll also be running a selection of mini-games and challenges, including:

Get involved, have some fun and grab yourself an Anniversary Pin Badge before they’re all gone!

We’ve also got the mighty Adeptus Astartes arriving in store, with the Adeptus Custodes available for pre-order!

So come one, come all, and come celebrate 28 YEARS of our wonderful Darlington store! 🎉

🎨 What an amazing day! 🎨

A huge thank you to everyone who came in today to try out the new paints! It was fantastic to see so many of you getting stuck in, experimenting and creating some brilliant results. There were so many of you that I didn’t even have time to capture everything! 😂

The overriding feedback has been how much of a joy they are to work with and how consistent and smooth the coverage is.

Thank you all for making today so much fun. I really hope everyone enjoyed themselves and has gone away with their imaginations fuelled by all the possibilities these new paints can bring to your hobby! 🎨✨

I can’t wait to see what you all create next! 💪

Thank you, Darlington! ❤️
