Dead-Man’s has teamed up with Blood & Pigment & Friends for the 2023 first-ever ‘Great Pirate Paint-Off‘. We want to see you fine people painting up your new minis, and you’ve got from now (right now, GO) until May 14th to submit your entries.
Dead Man’s Chest will be awarding a prize to the Best Painted Army. That means 25+ models (a starter box, if you will) that you’ve painted after November 30th, 2022.
If you’ve got your Blackbeard and Maynard boxed set painted, that’s an army. Share 1-5 photos of it via the entry form and you’re in the running. The community will begin voting for their favorite painters on May 15th. If you’re voted ‘best painted army’ you win a super swanky carrying case:
This case is a custom job from the shop ‘Fangorn Forge’ over on Etsy. They make a variety of products for wargames, rpgs, and boardgames, and I commissioned them to hook us up with our logo on their product. It looks very professional. You might even say reputable. And since I’m neither of those things, I’ve decided to give it away.
The case holds 30 miniatures. Convenient, since you need to paint at least 25 of them to win it. Paint up a starter, and you’ve got a handy place to carry it now. This is the same foam used in the popular Feldherr cases. The foam is removable, and it keeps your minis held nice and secure.
I’ve been using a combination of a Feldherr Figure Case and a backpack to carry my armies, rulebooks, and accessories around, but this has become my new favorite B&P transporter.
So far, there are only 3 Army Entries in the painting contest, so now is a great chance for great swag. If you don’t fancy your chances there, you can order one of these for yourself from Fangorn’s Etsy page, minus the cool Dead Man’s logo.
OR you can stay tuned to the DMC Facebook page for another way to win one of these in the coming weeks.
What? You didn’t think I bought just one, did you?
