The Mini
Our next miniature painting contest stars a chaotic evil, skeletal undead: Boneclaw!
Whether to sadistically end the lives of the innocent, or due to being in the service of a necromancer or such who commands them to do so, the purpose of boneclaws is to eviscerate the living with their claws.
Though the claws often grow and retract as they please, the Boneclaw can take full control of the length of its claws. It attacks by sneaking into the range of a foe and then lashing out with a claw growing at the speed of lightning, and skewering them through the heart.
Categories & Prizes
There are multiple ways to win!
All submissions are eligible for “Crowd Favorite,” and this can be awarded to a submission that has already won one of the first two categories. (Stop by to vote for your favorite!) Anyone who doesn’t win in any of the standard categories is eligible for the “Better To Be Lucky” category, drawn at random from the entries that have not yet won a prize.
Boneclaw is available for purchase in two distinct formats: Miniature only, or miniature with Paint Night Kit. The kit includes everything you need to paint your Boneclaw, including brushes, paints, a scannable link to a YouTube tutorial and of course, the Boneclaw miniature. The kits are a great way to try painting for the first time, or for hooking your friends and family on a paint night together!
