How FAST can YOU paint? - The Challenge for Tabletop Painters

Do you love painting miniatures but struggle to find the time? In this video, I dive into the fast-paced world of miniature speed painting competitions-the perfect solution for wargamers and hobbyists who need to balance aesthetics with efficiency. After months away from painting, I rediscovered my creative spark by embracing the thrill of a speed competition, and now I’m here to show you why this format is a total game changer!
In This Video, You'll Discover:
Choosing the Perfect Miniature:
Options: Using a standardized mini, letting competitors bring their own, opting for a random selection, or even a conversion challenge with a box of bits.
Debate: Which approach levels the playing field best? How can sponsorships from miniature makers or 3D printing innovations boost your event?
Pros & Cons: Fairness vs. creative freedom and the potential for unexpected challenges.
Selecting Paints & Tools:
Options: Restricting to a curated palette, enforcing specific techniques (like washes or drybrush), or offering an open palette for maximum creativity.
Debate: Does limiting your tools spark innovation or restrict artistic expression?
Pros & Cons: Consistency for fair judging versus the vibrant diversity of personal choice.
Deciding on Time Restrictions:
Options: Rapid-fire 15-30 minute rounds, a balanced 45-60 minute challenge, or even custom times based on miniature size.
Debate: What’s the ideal timeframe to test both speed and skill? Can too much or too little time really make or break the competition?
Pros & Cons: High-pressure excitement vs. the risk of sacrificing detail.
Establishing Fair Judging Criteria:
Options: An expert panel, an audience/popular vote, a hybrid model, or a detailed point-based rubric that incorporates both speed and artistry.
Debate: How can you ensure fairness while keeping the competition engaging?
Pros & Cons: Professional insights versus community engagement and potential biases.
Whether you’re an experienced painter or just starting out, these insights will help you not only compete in but also organize your own speed painting competitions. Which method do you think best balances creativity and speed? Join the debate in the comments below and share your thoughts!
