Airbrush is not Scary - An Intro to Your First Airbrush
Summary:
Build confidence with airbrushes! Join ImpendingDuff (Neil Duffey) to learn the airbrush, troubleshooting clogs, and common issues using a Badger 105.
Description:
This class is designed to build confidence and understanding in airbrushing for miniature painting. Using a brand new Badger Patriot 105 airbrush during the session, students will learn how an airbrush works, how to properly break it down, clean it, and diagnose common problems such as clogging, sputtering, and airflow issues.
Twitch’s ImpendingDuff (Neil Duffey) guides students step by step through the process, removing the intimidation that often keeps beginners from using an airbrush regularly. By the end of the class, students will understand their airbrush inside and out, gaining the skills and confidence needed to troubleshoot issues and comfortably incorporate airbrushing into their painting workflow.
Learn how to make your forest-themed miniature bases and terrain more realistic through natural history. Class taught by a scientist with a background in geology, biology, and informal education.
Description:
Are you looking to level up your miniature bases and terrain? Or only just starting to create them? If making your nature-themed pieces more realistic sounds interesting, this is the class for you! The subject of this session is forests. I’ll teach you some basic natural history as it applies to making pieces for tabletop gaming. Then we’ll make two bases together that sample different materials, methods, and habitats that fall under the session’s theme. You’ll leave the class with two completed bases, a sample kit of basing materials, new ideas, and some resources to keep exploring them.

A hands on class where students will explore the technique of layering, the application of thin layers of paint to achieve a smooth transition.
Description:
Attendees are encouraged to bring their own brushes with a fine point if they wish, 0-1 round is ideal. Attendees will take home a miniature from the event.
Improve miniature basing and diorama composition using simple materials and clear design rules. Learn layout, scale, and storytelling techniques to make your minis read at tabletop distance.
Description:
Learn practical basing and composition techniques that make miniatures read clearly on the gaming table using simple materials and strong design principles. This hands-on workshop focuses on layout, scale, focal points, and visual storytelling so your minis feel intentional and cohesive without requiring advanced painting skills.
Participants will build sample bases and arrange small composition setups while learning how to match bases to terrain, create believable environments, and avoid common mistakes like cluttered layouts or inconsistent scale. The emphasis is on fast, repeatable methods you can apply across an army or RPG collection.
Perfect for wargamers, hobbyists, and terrain builders who want their miniatures to feel grounded in a world. Attendees receive an informational handout with composition tips and basing recipes for future projects.
