Workshop: Kitbash Like a Boss
April 25, 2026 | 9:00am–11:00am
With ModernSynthesist (Mr. Pink / Nicholas Jones)

You know the basics. Now level up.

In this hands-on session, Mr. Pink breaks down his award-winning approach to kitbashing - from tool selection and workflow shortcuts to smarter ways of combining kits quickly and cleanly. He’ll also share a few simple greenstuff hacks that anyone can pull off.

There will be time for personalized advice, whether you’re stuck on a current build or just have an idea you want to develop.

Spare models will be available for experimenting (thanks to Fenris Workshop), but you’re encouraged to bring your own tools and any projects you’re working on.

Workshop: Comic Style Crash Course
April 25, 2026 | 3:00pm–5:00pm
With EpicDuck (Mike Cousins)

Bold lines. High contrast. Graphic punch.

This rapid-fire introduction to Comic Style painting covers the core concepts behind the look - from comic books and cartoons to video game influences - and shows you how to translate that energy onto your miniatures. After breaking down the fundamentals, you’ll put it into practice in a guided, hands-on session.

Miniatures, paint, and ink are provided. Please bring your own brushes. A 000 sable (or similar fine liner) is recommended for lining work.

Workshop: You Don’t Suck at Greenstuff
April 25, 2026 | 11:00am–1:00pm
With ModernSynthesist (Mr. Pink / Nicholas Jones)

If epoxy putty has ever made you question your life choices, this class is for you!
ModernSynthesist brings two decades of sculpting experience to break down simple, practical techniques for working with greenstuff, Apoxie Sculpt, and other putties. This is a hands-on session focused on solving the problems that usually cause frustration — sticky tools, fingerprints, rough shapes, and detail work that won’t cooperate.

All materials are provided (thanks to Fenris Workshop), and every participant goes home with a metal sculpting tool, sculpting lubricant, and extra putty.

There will also be some prizes!
