Dark Sword Miniatures is coming to these conventions

Dark Sword will not be "exhibiting" at any Trade Shows or Conventions in 2019.

ReaperCon 2019 - Denton, TX

Dark Sword Miniatures is proud to sponsor a number of Manufacturer Awards at ReaperCon 2019 for their prestigious painting competition once again. This year we are sponsoring over $1,800 in cash and prizes for ReaperCon 2019. Jim from Dark Sword will be there in TX once again to personally judge these awards. ReaperCon is without a doubt one of the very best conventions that miniature painters of all levels can (and should) attend. Their numerous hobby classes are beyond amazing and their celebration of this wonderful hobby community is something you need to experience first hand to truly appreciate. Some of the very best miniature painters and sculptors in the world are on hand to hang out with and learn from. I cannot recommend this convention highly enough.

Jason Wiebe and Jim from Dark Sword are working on creating something fun/cool to give to each entrant as a thank you for painting up the Tiger Lily tribute mini. As we get closer on the gift item, pics will be posted here and shared on the ReaperCon forums.

In addition, $300 cash will be offered to purchase one of the Tiger Lily entries from its painter to give as a gift to Jason Wiebe so he can have on display in his home in honor of the late great Tiger Lily. This will be something we go over the entries with Jason Wiebe on to find his favorite entry (which might differ from the prize ordering above). Please note - this purchase of the entry would be above and beyond any prizes won in the overall ReaperCon painting competition and the Dark Sword Mfr. Awards. And this is optional for the painter if approached (as a painter might want to keep the piece for their own collection).

* Any entry with the Tiger Lily Anthro Pug Miniature in it will automatically be put in this category as it relates to Dark Sword judging of the entry for the prizes listed above. The only exception to this would be the 13 and under category as the entry will be allowed to be judged in both and receive benefits from both categories.


The Dark Sword Miniatures Manufacturer Awards are open to all painters. To be eligible for the prize support listed above, the entries must be new entries, never entered into any other painting competitions. In addition, no entries can be commissions from Dark Sword Miniatures for painted studio models. This means Dark Sword studio painters can enter if they so desire, but their entries must be brand new creations not commissioned from Dark Sword and must also adhere to the eligibility requirements above. Please note - Dark Sword entries will also get the coveted "double dip" from being part of the overall ReaperCon painting competition as well. So one entry can potentially win multiple prizes/awards!
