This is fantastic news!
Yearly painting challenges only show me how useless I am at painting...

Wish I could make it over... my other half used to work in there and it's worth a long holiday just to see the sights and of course, pop into the show  :)

Hope all goes swimmingly.

Darrell.

Can you survive a trench run against the Death Star? Do you have what it takes to survive the Battle Tech Anvil, all day? Find out at Hold the Line on July 12th in Toronto. More and more games are being added to our schedule ranging from X-Wing to Flames of War to Dystopian Wars, so take a look. If you are interested in running a game yourself it is not too late, sign up using the GM Sign up form.

Pre-Registration for Hold the Line is now open! Register here to guarantee a spot. Space is limited so don’t delay!

We’re almost a month away, so hopefully, everyone is busy in the studio painting away for the Golden Helmet contest! Alex and Anthony from The Bent Bristle are preparing some beginner modelling and painting seminars, so keep an eye out for more info!

We have even more cool prizes for the raffle - tickets will be on sale the day of, and go to a fantastic cause helping Wounded Warriors. Make sure to buy as many tickets as you can to have a chance to win painted figures by world class artists, and tons of great rules and miniatures donated by our sponsors.

See you all on July 12th!

I registered. I didn't have to fill anything out though. Just paid through Paypal.
Did I screw something up?

Nope Johnno! As long as you registered through the Eventbrite link on our site, you're all set. Did you get a confirmation?
