Games Workshop: Paintathon Schedule Released
Get your paint pots ready — The Paintathon is coming July 17th and you’re invited to hang out and paint like crazy!
If you’ve got a bunch of models to paint then July is the month to knock them out because GW is hosting a Paintathon. While it officially kicks off on the 17th, the Warhammer team has some painting hang-outs planned for the days leading up to the main event. Here’s a rundown of the schedule for both the build up and the actual Paintathon.
“In the run-up to the big day, Warhammer TV will be hosting six Hang Out and Hobby specials across two weeks, focusing on the new paints, between 5pm and 7pm.”
This lead-up focuses on the 25 new Contrast paints. According to GW:
“Four episodes airing on Thursday the 7th, Friday the 8th, Wednesday the 13th, and Thursday the 14th of July will go in-depth on different elements of the new Contrast range, discovering how they apply over the vibrant new White Scar Spray paint. “
If you’re looking for how to use those new paints or if you just want to see more examples of what they look like this is a great place to start. We’ve also done a video showcasing each of the new colors as well:
During the GW showcase, they are also going to show what it looks like to use them over metallics and how to thin them down for some very cool glaze effects.
Paintathon Schedule
On Sunday the 17th the big event kicks off. This will be hosted on the Warhammer Twitch Channel. The festivities kick off at 10am and go through 6pm and will have a host of special presenters to show off from around the community:
This should be a blast to check out with a wide variety of models and projects to check out. Hang out in the chat and paint right along with them!
I better get my latest projects built and primed…the Paintathon is coming!
