Moonstone May '25

The Goblin King Games Moonstone May painting competition is back for a fourth year, after a fantastic result in previous years.

From 1st to 31st May 2025 we invite you to post photos of your painted Moonstone minis on social media channels, using the hashtag #MoonstoneMay25. There are four categories you can enter and during June we’ll ask the community to vote for their favourites in each category. The winners in each category will then receive a £25 gift card to spend in our webstore (plus free postage anywhere in the world).

When you share your photo please let us know which of these four categories you’re entering:

1. Single miniature - One miniature from any box set, or a limited edition sculpt. Will be judged on technical painting skill and artistic flair. You may enter the King’s bust and large-scale Jayda in this category, but please label Jayda as larger scale so that we can easily tell the difference.
2. Boxset / troupe - Must include between 3 and 8 miniatures from the same faction. Will be judged on technical painting skill, artistic flair and cohesiveness of the troupe.
3. Most original concept - Can be a single miniature or up to 8 miniatures; includes conversions, fantastical bases, wacky / themed paint schemes etc. Will be judged on originality and quality of concept, as well as painting skill. Note that judges may use their discretion to move entries from the previous categories into this one.
4. Commission painter - See below…

Commission Painters

Commission painters are welcome to enter any category but must state they are a ‘commission painter’ in their entry, the judges will then select a winner from among the entries based on pure painting skill. Entries must not have been commissioned by GKG.

‘Commission painters' are defined as individuals who offer painting services for hire. ‘Commission painters’ refers to the individual, not the miniature(s) being submitted. For example, if a commission painter has Moonstone miniatures in their personal collection the miniatures are still classed as a ‘Commission painter’.
