The Show of Force 2026 visual coverage - big thanks to all participants, visitors, public voters and our contest sponsors Trench Crusade, Green Stuff World and AK-Interactive!

25/07/2026

It was once again the time for assembly, and what a Show of Force it was! We had the privilege to host fifteen brilliant displays created by local hobbyists representing a multitude of game systems. Together we managed to turn many heads interested in miniature painting - a total of 213 public votes were given during Ropecon Saturday, highlighting the relevance of Show of Force as a unique window to the Finnish wargaming hobby.
The category winners each claimed a certificate and hobby supplies graciously sponsored by our supporters Trench Crusade, Green Stuff World and AK Interactive! We also teamed up with the 28 Mag team to reward cool entries with special badge commendations.

Full picture gallery coming soon! Congratulations to all the triumphant winners!

This past spring Teemu and Manel joined forces in Barcelona for some hobby adventures and the Horus Heresy was (unsurprisingly) one of the main agendas! Our gaming hobby is mainly about the visuals and the narrative that's usually developed especially for the games at hand, and we have always been on the same page about what kind of hobby experiences we're after.

We took it upon ourselves to enact a little thematic skirmish battle and to do some story-driven miniature photography - as a result we're presenting a Horus Heresy saga between Death Guard and Space Wolves, inspired by our shared fascination for the 30K universe as well as our Civil War gaming format!
