Armies on Parade

Armies on Parade 2024

Clean your brushes and organise your paints – Armies on Parade is back!

This global celebration of Warhammer is a great excuse to choose a project, plan your approach, and share your progress with like-minded Warhammer hobbyists along the way – online, or at your local store.

Towards the end of the year, there will be judging and awards ceremonies in-store and online, across a variety of categories. And whatever the outcome, you’ll have a completed project you can be proud of.

The Categories

Whether you’re an experienced painter or new to the Warhammer hobby, Armies on Parade is open to everyone! There are four main categories – Individual, Team, Display Board, and Youngbloods.

Individual

Entrants to the Individual category are welcome to build, paint, and submit any army from any Games Workshop game system on a blank battle board or table. The focus should be squarely on the miniatures – no terrain is required – so your entry could be anything from a Warcry warband or kill team, to a perfectly balanced 2000 point army.

 

Team

The requirements for Team entries are the same as the Individual category, but for groups who want to work together to put on a show-stopping entry. It could be two friends painting a combined force, a family working together, a whole team painting a unit each, or maybe a big community, each contributing a single miniature!

 

Youngbloods

The Youngbloods category is exclusively for individual Warhammer hobbyists aged between 13 and 15 who will require the consent of a parent or guardian to enter. Teams of Youngbloods can also enter the Team category as long as they have someone over 16 as part of their group – so, for instance, your teacher can enter on behalf of a school Warhammer club.

 

Display Board

The Display Board category is for those who want to test their terrain-making and diorama skills. We want to see expansive battlefields, small but hugely detailed scenes, and everything in between! You are welcome to enter this category in addition to the Individual or Team categories.
