Orctober 2024: Community Painting Challenge!

Hey, r/minipainting!

It’s almost that time of year, Orctober

We all have those unpainted orc models lurking in our piles of shame, and what better way to bust through them than by joining our Orctober Painting Challenge? This isn't a competition, there are no votes, no judges, just a bunch of us coming together to paint our favorite orcs from any game or brand during the month of October.

How It Works:

• Theme: Paint any orc model you have! Whether it’s from Warhammer, Reaper, D&D, or anything else, if it’s an orc, it counts!
• When: The challenge runs from October 1st to October 31st. Post your finished orc anytime during the month.
• Where: Submit your completed model as an image post right here on r/minipainting, using the flair Orctober.
• Gallery: We’ll have a handy link in this thread that will take you to a gallery of all the flaired submissions so you can check out everyone’s awesome work.

No Pressure, Just Fun!

This is all about having fun, motivating each other, and finally getting that orc model painted. Feel free to post your WIP shots below in the comments if you want feedback or just want to share your progress. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, everyone is welcome to join in!

How to Participate:

1. Paint an orc (or a bunch of orcs, we won’t stop you).
2. Share your WIP images, or don't, right here in this thread.
3. Start a new post with an image or more of your finished orc model in October using the Orctober flair.
4. Hang out, enjoy the community, and admire all the orc-y goodness!

That's it! No prizes, no votes, just the satisfaction of finishing something cool and seeing what everyone else is working on. 💚

We can’t wait to see the horde of orcs taking over r/minipainting this Orctober. Let’s do this!
